24 hours donating blood

-

This is the third year in a row that Mapfre has organised a global 24-hour activity for its employees, in which they can donate blood in the countries in which the company operates. The activity will start today. This action is part of Mapfre‘s corporate volunteeri­ng programme, which provided blood reserves to more than 5,500 people last year.

Mapfre‘s employees in the Philippine­s will start with this campaign and Mapfre‘s employees in China will join a few hours later, as in the case of Europe, continuing with a campaign based on donating blood 24 hours a day.

The campaign will continue in the countries in Latin America, in the United States, in Uruguay, Peru, Panama and Chile, to name a few. In addition, different Mapfre offices will give talks to raise awareness on the importance of this life-saving action.

In Malta, Mapfre Middlesea and Mapfre MSV Life employees have also taken part in the blood donation initiative, including the CEO Felipe Navarro who said: “I am very happy to participat­e in this important initiative. All my recognitio­n for the organisers, the National Blood Transfusio­n Service and those who contribute­d.”

This 24-hour donation campaign is another example of the commitment of Mapfre‘s employees to society and its purpose is to increase the blood reserves, which are particular­ly necessary during the holiday period.

The Mapfre corporate volunteeri­ng programme is implemente­d through the Fundación Mapfre‘s Volunteers programme. Volunteeri­ng is aligned with the Group’s strategy and one of Mapfre‘s main challenges is to become a global benchmark in corporate solidarity.
