eLPOZO ALIMENTACIÓN has received an award from the Fundación España Activa (Active Spain Foundation) for its promotion of active and healthy lifestyles among its over 5,000 employees, support of children’s sports, commitment to disability and sponsorship of various sporting competitions.
The foundation celebrated its III Awards Gala with the aim of recognising all those agents whose actions help every day to make more people more active, more of the time. These actions are in line with the foundation’s mission to promote sport and physical activity as a way of improving people’s health and well-being.
eLPOZO ALIMENTACIÓN was recognised alongside Edurne Pasabán, for being the first woman to climb all fourteen eight-thousanders; Marca newspaper, for its eight decades of sports reporting; Sanitas Foundation, for its Healthy Cities and CEDI (inclusive sports) projects; Náron City Council in La Coruña, for its public initiative to ‘lose 100,000 kilos’, with the primary objective of combating the increasingly sedentary lifestyle of the population.
The company aligns itself with sporting values and it is committed to supporting sports through various sponsorships, including eLPOZO Murcia Indoor Football, the Spanish Paralympics Team and the Vuelta a España.
This year, for the second consecutive year, it is the official sponsor of the ‘Revolution on Ice’ tour, the show by Spanish skater and seven-times European Champion, Javier Fernández. The food company is adding female-only sports projects to the list of schemes it supports, with the objective of helping women to achieve their rightful position and to achieve increasingly higher positions in terms of social impact. It is collaborating with various projects including the sponsorship of Alhama Women’s Football Club eLPOZO, the only club in Murcia to play in the Reto Iberdrola. It also sponsors the Madrid Challenge, the elite women’s professional two-day road bicycle race; Alhama de Murcia synchronised swimming team, who compete on a national level; Carrera de La Mujer, the largest women’s sporting event in Europe; and, this year, it promoted the Corrida Sempre Mulher in Lisbon, a gathering of over 10,000 female runners running in support of the fight against cancer.
The company also boasts the ‘European Sport and Healthy Company 2018’ seal, making it the first European food manufacturer to achieve this award for promoting sports and healthy lifestyles among its work force.
With these examples, eLPOZO ALIMENTACIÓN, a leader in healthy foods, is demonstrating its strong commitment to sport as a school of values, in which discipline, commitment, hard work, companionship and self-improvement are the basis of success.
