In addition to monitoring the health of our workers, our efforts mainly stress two thrusts. On the one hand, consolidating all activities successfully conducted from the point of view of preventing different diseases (particularly those related to cardiovascular risk and cancer); and, on the other, implementing new activities that reinforce the existing programme with regard to health promotion, healthful habits, and well-being. For the purpose, the following are underway:
Cardiovascular wellness strategy
- Programme to give up smoking.
- Healthful food programme, including healthy cafeteria menus, seasonal fruit in common areas or vending machines selling 50% healthful products.
- Physical exercise programme, including different subsidies, the organisation of events, weekend outings, support apps for the conduct of activities, sports challenges with different prizes, etc.
