Vytrus has signed a collaboration agreement with the private foundation AVAN, a non-profit organization that offers therapeutic, associative and leisure support to people affected by neurological diseases and their families or caregivers. AVAN was founded in 1993 in the city of Terrassa, and is currently present in Sabadell, Rubí, Sant Cugat and Castellar del Vallès, with the aim of improving the quality of life of people, sharing values such as commitment to care, proximity, and continuity.
This framework agreement includes different synergies between both parties, such as participation in activities organized by the Foundation through Vytrus corporate volunteering. It includes social, cultural, sports, training, and informative activities and, most importantly, includes a commitment to finance the construction of the building that will be the new Avan Center in Terrassa.
This project has the support of the Terrassa City Council, which is lending the Pont Aurell i Armengol industrial building, as well as that of the Generalitat de Catalunya, the Diputació de Barcelona and the Cambra de Comerç de Terrassa (Terrassa Chamber of Commerce). Following a public-private model, to achieve a local center of reference in the field of neurology.
We are very excited about this alliance, adding up to make this project aimed at the welfare and health of the people of our city a reality. And since it means continuing to promote the Vytrus CSR project, based on 4 axes: people, company, planet, and social commitment. Thus promoting local projects of shared value in society.
