The mayor of Lorca congratulated the "Fundación Iniciativas El Gigante, which is always very active in our society, but with these awards it goes a step further by recognizing the work, work and effort of companies that are committed to Corporate Social Responsibility, CSR; entities social workers who carry out solidarity work, and individuals who with their silent work contribute to a more just society ". Diego José Mateos has insisted that "Lorca has always been a supportive municipality willing to help those who need it most, as a sign of appreciation for all the help we receive in difficult times such as the earthquakes of 2011 or the floods of 2012.
And Our companies have always been willing to collaborate either in the sports field with the sponsorship of clubs and individual athletes, also betting on cultural and social initiatives, among others, as well as those groups that arrive where many of the administrations cannot reach, and anonymous people who fight for equality and social justice.
Somehow these awards want to publicly recognize all that effort.
" For his part, the Deputy Mayor and Councilor for the Economy, stressed that "increasingly, companies are looking for the differential factor in a globalized world.
Corporate Social Responsibility is imposed as a way of acting for companies to conduct their activity in a sustainable manner and ethics, improving both the performance and the image of companies before their own employees and society in general.
An example of this is our municipal company, LIMUSA, and its involvement in decent work under equal conditions, in production and consumption responsible or in the management of natural resources in favor of biodiversity; and mixed company Aguas de Lorca, through collaborations with different social associations and cultural projects in Lorca, or with the Social Water Fund to help vulnerable families ". Francisco Morales recalled that "CSR influences the management of these companies, mainly covering the economic, social and environmental areas.
Thus, it often translates into actions to support the environment, ethical treatment of employees or economic areas.
and through philanthropy.
We believe that Iniciativas El Gigante is a great success to reward these actions of companies, since it encourages and promotes responsible management that can lead to greater competitiveness and sustainability in the company while generating benefits in society.
". The president of the El Gigante Foundation Board of Trustees, Francisco Perán, highlighted "the importance of these distinctions at a key moment when the world is facing the coronavirus, one of the greatest pandemics in the history of mankind.
With these awards we intend that they be a reflection for society, that serve to focus on those companies, entities and people who have helped the most and continue to help others during this crisis ". Francisco Perán has pointed out that "although the Fundación Iniciativas El Gigante is based in Lorca, we intend them to be regional awards, so that companies, entities and people not only from the City of the Sun will be taken into consideration, but also from Águilas, Puerto Lumbreras and Totana ". Perán stressed that "these awards are born with a firm purpose to make visible to society the importance of social entities and volunteers, as a tool for community development, and also serve as an example to future generations."
