Enthusiasm, credibility and experience − three reasons, among many, that motivate companies to work with InteRed as part of their corporate social responsibility plan.

The NGDO [Non-Governmental Development Organisation] InteRed maintains a two-way relationship with various companies with which it forms alliances based on a common vision for a better world. The companies are linked to projects and are trained in social responsibility while InteRed receives support, both in funding and in other areas.

This relationship between companies, foundations, educational institutions and InteRed delegations in Spain and other countries was the subject of an online session entitled “Transforming lives through alliances with responsible companies” held in mid-June. It was one of the events commemorating the 30th anniversary of InteRed, an NGDO backed by the Teresian Association.reunion business

30 years creating solidarity networks

The InteRed director, Ana Arancibia, told us that it comes from a “network of exchange and solidarity”, a name that maintains that meaning and impact today. It was a commitment 30 years ago and it is still a priority today to work in networks, to create alliances and to work towards an inclusive and caring society where all people can access rights on equal terms.

Javier Cortés Fernández, an international consultant specialising in sustainability in companies and public-private partnerships, gave an updated overview of corporate social responsibility. He stressed that commitment to society and the environment is increasingly becoming part of a company's value. In his opinion, trust is the fundamental factor for partnerships between companies and NGDOs.

Extending the circle

There were two panels with representatives of companies that have worked with InteRed sharing their experiences. They spoke about best practices in social action, training, corporate volunteering and social responsibility.

It became clear that collaboration between these companies and InteRed has brought about enormous benefits in both directions and that the circle must continue to widen.
