In Spain there are almost four million people with disabilities and yet this group still has the highest risk of social exclusion in terms of access to employment. María Malaxechevarría, General Manager of Sustainability at Endesa, says: "As a company, we have a responsibility not only to society but also to the business when it comes to promoting inclusion among both our employees and our customers".

Our initiatives to promote inclusion

Javier Crespo is one of 75 people with disabilities who are part of Endesa's workforce. He has a prosthetic hip due to medical negligence when he was a child, and in addition to having been a professional swimmer in three Paralympic Games, he is in charge of claims management in the Customer Engagement department at Infrastructure and e-Distribution Networks, our electricity distributor.

Javier rates his experience in the company very positively: "It's a pleasure for me to work in a company that allows me to prove my worth and that really believes in training and integrating people with disabilities".

Within the company we promote awareness and inclusion of disability through guidelines, workshops, courses and a range of initiatives in the We Integrate Value campaign. We will launch several inclusion pilot schemes in 2022 to respond to this commitment.

We also support employees who have children with disabilities. This is the case of María Luisa Reig, an e-Distribución employee and mother of three, one of whom has Down syndrome. "Thanks to the Family Plan that Endesa runs in collaboration with the Adecco Foundation, we can benefit from financial aid and support when looking for the best therapies or activities", she explained. "I'm proud to belong to a company that supports us in the development and integration of our children", she concluded.
