Inditex and Universidade da Coruña to collaborate in the promotion of Social Responsibility actions
* A collaboration agreement has been entered into by both, to be coordinated by UDC’s Consello Social
Mr Pablo Isla, First Deputy Chairman of Inditex, and Mr José María Barja, Vice-chancellor of the Universidade da Coruña (UDC), today subscribed a collaboration agreement to carry out activities aimed at implementing a model for University Social Responsibility, to be coordinated by Consello Social of UDC, a body which channels the participation of the society in the University.
The goal of the agreement is to promote the strategic positioning of UDC through activities associated to social responsibility, with the help of the experience gained by Inditex in this field.
Among the scheduled activities are: conducting research and studies; organising training activities and meetings with experts; exchanging information, knowledge and experiences; or, entering into agreements with other universities, institutions or companies, as well as the setting in train of specific programs on social action and environmental sustainability.
Both Inditex and UDC stress the special significance and the strategic relevance of Corporate Social Responsibility both for the corporate world and the society in general, and, specifically for the University. UDC wishes to delve deeper in this strategy by implementing its own social responsibility model allowing it to take a step forward in its transparency policy, management, ethical values and social and environmental commitment.
