Moventia supports Enriqueta Villavecchia Foundation for its 30th anniversary

To celebrate its 30th anniversary, the Enriqueta Villavecchia children’s oncology Foundation is offering a commemorative concert on Thursday, 9 May, that will be supported by Moventia.

The concert will be performed by the Palau de la Música Chamber Choir at the Basílica de la Sagrada Familia from 20:00 and, according to the organisers, will be attended by some 2,300 people.

Through this support, Moventia is once again demonstrating its commitment to society and people – two of the key cornerstones of the company’s CSR policy.

Moventia supporting research on Alzheimer’s Disease

Faithful to its values and Corporate Social Responsibility Policy, Moventia actively participates and collaborates with over 50 non-profit organisations. On this occasion, it is pleased to announce its membership of the Patronage Council of the Pasqual Maragall Foundation. Moventia has made a contribution that will be donated in full to the Clinical Research on the Prevention of Dementia Unit, specifically the Alpha Study. 

At a recent visit by Miquel and Sílvia Martí, Chairman and Secretary of the Board of Directors, to the innovative installations owned by the foundation, its Director, Jordi Camino, wished to share and highlight the objectives and details of the research being conducted by the Alpha Study:

“We know that the damage caused to the brain by Alzheimer’s Disease may have silently begun up to 20 years before the first symptoms appear. We need to anticipate this, study what happens to the brain years before Alzheimer’s Disease develops. Our goal is to take action before it is too late and the damage is already irreversible”.

For this reason, Moventia is pleased and proud to be taking part in such a socially important initiative at a global level, in which the figures speak for themselves:

– 2,734 volunteer children of people with Alzheimer’s Disease
– 50 professionals
– 9,891 visit hours
– 10,892 samples to the Biobank
– 78,963 cognitive tests
– 421 magnetic resonance scans

We remain committed to research and its success for contributing to a better society!

Moventia seals agreements with cultural organisations

 

Moventia, following their collaborative strategy as framed in their Corporate Social Responsibility programme, has sealed different agreements with important cultural organisations in our country as: Liceu, Fundació Catalunya Cultura and Orquestra Simfònica del Vallès. These agreements mean a long-term collaboration in terms of economic contribution such as services which allow each organisation to accomplish the objective of preserving and promoting the culture, as much as from our country as from the other countries.

 

We hope and wish these agreements to be fruitful so they can carry the name of Moventia to further levels and environments from our activities that we want to have closer every time.

 

 

Historic Moventis buses take part in film about the Olympic Games

This week, the historic Moventis buses became luxury supporting actors in the film being made in Barcelona about the period in history surrounding the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games entitled “Amics per sempre” [Friends Forever]. 

The three buses got dressed up for the occasion, as did the drivers who drove them to the set, who were dressed in period clothing as extras. The filming was long and intense but the result will undoubtedly be worthy of the highest praise. We would like to thank the drivers who volunteered to take part in this adventure and all members of the team at the Vallès de Automoción garage and Transportes Ciutat Condal who look after our historic buses so well. We will be looking out for the release of this film to see them in action!
