The Third Sector Platform has given us the seal that certifies us as a 'Solidarity Company' that recognizes companies with a positive impact in Spain.
The requirement to obtain this Seal is to have checked the Solidarity Company Box in the last Corporate Tax, which gave the option of allocating 0.7% of the proceeds to social interest projects managed by the Third Sector.
Of course at Embutidos Luis Gil we didn't think about it and we joined this initiative that helps finance projects that collaborate in guaranteeing the rights of citizens, in the fight against poverty, social exclusion and inequality.
It costs us nothing and the benefit generated is enormous. So we encourage all companies that file Corporate Tax to join together and check the Solidarity Company Box to become companies with a positive impact on society, citizens and the planet.
