Logista, one of Europe's largest logistics operators, has signed a partnership agreement with the Real Madrid Foundation to contribute to the sustainability of its weekly social sports project at the APANID educational and welfare complex, as part of the Real Madrid Foundation's collaboration with the children's shelters run by the Madrid Regional Ministry of Family, Youth and Social Affairs.
Enrique Sánchez and Juan José Guajardo-Fajardo acted as captains of the two teams during the signing of the alliance that will unite the two entities in their commitment to improving the lives of people with disabilities.
Juan José Guajardo-Fajardo, Director of HR, Marketing and Communication at Logista, highlighted in his speech: "We are proud to collaborate with Real Madrid in integrating people with disabilities through sport and its universal values. We are honoured to be able to join forces with the world's leading sports institution, and with this partnership we are taking another step in our social strategy whose main aim is to make a positive impact on society and help people in need”.
Emilio Butragueño, Director of Institutional Relations, highlighted the importance of sport for all, which assists in the integration and normalisation of the children at this centre, who have special difficulties due to their disability.
Through this agreement, Logista will contribute to achieving the aims of the football and basketball sports school that the Real Madrid Foundation has implemented in the facilities of the Residence.
The Hogar Residencia APANID is a project for people with intellectual disabilities whose sporting activity with the Real Madrid Foundation began last year and which forms part of its diversity awareness projects, in addition to the eight football schools and six basketball schools in twelve residences where it has been working on a weekly basis for more than 15 years, using sport in values as a tool for social integration.
