ENAIRE, Spain's air navigation service provider, has been recognised by the Envera Foundation as "an ally in achieving the sustainable development goals".

The Advisory Board of the 45th anniversary celebration of the Envera Foundation unanimously decided to recognise ENAIRE as an essential partner organisation in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations' 2030 Agenda.

The award was presented at an event held yesterday in Madrid to the head of ENAIRE's Sustainability and Institutional Relations Division, Estíbaliz Salazar, in recognition of ENAIRE's programme to help integrate people with disabilities into the labour market, and showcasing the organisation as a public agency that deserves to be imitated.

The event was closed by the Undersecretary of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation, María Amparo López Senovilla.

ENAIRE and the Envera Foundation have been collaborating since 2019, a partnership that has had a great social impact on people with disabilities and their families. Specifically, the Envera project has managed to employ 247 people with mental, physical and/or sensory disabilities in Madrid, Barcelona, Málaga, Tenerife and Gran Canaria, 119 of them in the aviation sector in jobs involving aeroplane ground movements, managing ticket reservations, processing and assembling accessories in production lines, aeroplane cleaning, as mechanic's assistants, etc.

Through these initiatives, ENAIRE is reinforcing its contribution to the United Nations Global Compact and to the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda, and specifically to SDG 10, Reduced Inequalities.
