Telefonica’s Social Development
The new technologies applied to knowledge, culture and solidarity give us more opportunities than ever to work successfully on the transformation of society.
This is the focus of the social projects we undertake in Telefónica through sponsorships, agreements with the third sector, direct actions, Foundation and the Telefónica Group Association for Attention to People with Disabilities (ATAM). In total, Telefónica allocate 129 million euros a year to philanthropy, in accordance with the International LBG (London Benchmarking Group) methodology. With 15 years’ experience, Fundación Telefónica is the main driver of our initiatives.
- Education and innovation: design and implement direct intervention programmes which benefit children and young people, to support them in the development of their life projects through education and personal autonomy.
- Digital art and culture: Telefónica are a meeting point for the most innovative trends in digital art and culture through our cultural spaces.
- Corporate volunteering: manage the Telefónica corporate volunteering programme, supporting the solidarity activities of our employees on social projects.
Proniño, managed by Fundación Telefónica, promotes decent-quality school enrolment for children at risk of child labour with the support of technology.
