Ingesan, awarded by the Red Cross and La Caixa Foundation for its commitment to the labor insertion of disadvantaged groups

December 15, 2022

Ingesan, the leading subsidiary of OHLA’s Services division, has obtained three new awards for its commitment to the creation of socially responsible employment and its support for job placement programs.

The company has been doubly awarded by the Red Cross for its participation in the implementation of non-working practices for vulnerable groups in the Hospital de Santa Caterina (Girona) and for hiring people at risk of social exclusion in the cleaning services carried out in the Hospital de Alcoy (Alicante), in the Hospital de Mollet, in the subway of Barcelona, as well as in the primary care centers of Badalona, Santa Coloma and Maresme, all of them in Barcelona.

It has also received an award from Fundació la Caixa, which highlights the value of the contracts it has made within the framework of the Incorpora Girona program for the cleaning service that Ingesan provides at the Hospital de Santa Caterina (Girona).

These awards are in addition to others received this year such as the recognition “Empresa amb cor” from Caritas, for hiring people at risk of social exclusion, the special mention by the Incorpora Tarragona program of La Caixa Foundation, and the double recognition of the Intermedia Foundation for hiring people in vulnerable situations and participation in sessions of knowledge of the productive environment to promote job placement.

Nearly 800 new hires for vulnerable groups

Ingesan is committed to the creation of employment with equal opportunities, promoting insertion programs and supporting people who have difficulties in accessing the labor market.

This has resulted in the hiring of close to 800 people from vulnerable groups and has earned the company the recognition of the Integra Foundation as a socially committed company.

For nearly 15 years it has collaborated with various foundations such as the Red Cross, Adecco Foundation, Integra Foundation, Intermedia Foundation and La Caixa Foundation, and participates in local and regional employment programs, such as Làbora and Barcelona Activa.

Representatives of the HR teams of Ingesan's East and Levante delegations collect the awards.
