SIDE BY SIDE WITH SOCIETY
• In November, Eloi Planes, the CEO, took part in the Eighth Business Seminar organised by the newspaper El Nuevo Lunes and Bankia in Barcelona on “Internationalisation, In- novation and Business Development”.
SPORT Fluidra sponsors a number of local sports clubs and asso- ciations based in the communities in which our companies operate, such as the women’s water polo team at the Sa- badell Swimming Club, the Joan Sellas i Cardelús Trust for the Mentally Handicapped, the Buelna Sports Club, the La Resilla Sports Club and the Cantabrian Bowling Federation. The most outstanding achievement was without a doubt that of the women from the Sabadell-AstralPool Swimming Club who became the European champions in 2011.
Sponsorship and patronage The assignment of resources is divided into four main areas:
WATER AND THE ENVIRONMENT Fluidra wishes to do its bit to attain the millennium goals and it has therefore taken part in various water and sanitary projects across the world for a number of years.
Following our collaboration on projects in Ethiopia, Ecuador and India, this year Fluidra is working with the Foundation for Sustainable Development (FUNDESO) on a project co- financed by the Spanish Agency for International Develop- ment Cooperation called “Access to basic rights in housing, drinking water and sanitary infrastructures in Thomazeau, Haiti.”
The project will endeavour to ensure access to drinking water by installing a community water purification system that works on solar energy and will make it possible to supply a population of 2,000 inhabitants. Twenty-six homes able to withstand the natural disasters that affect Haiti will also be built.
In 2011 Fluidra took part in the Inter-Company Solidarity Ga- mes, which are organized by the company a32events and are played for charity.. Their purpose is to promote cohesion and motivation, as well as to collect money for charity.
Fluidra, active member of Indescat The Catalan sports cluster, Indescat, chaired by Joan Porcar from Alesport and with Jaume Carol (COO of Fluidra) acting as its vice-chairman, was set up to bring together compa- nies and research centres linked to the world of sport in Ca- talonia in order to take actions that will give businesses in Catalonia an edge over their competitors. It will do so by favouring the development of innovative services and pro- ducts, as well as their international outreach.
Fluidra has been closely linked with the sports world sin- ce it became the official pool provider for the Tenth World Swimming Championships that took place in Barcelona in 2003. Fluidra developed a new technology for a free-stan- ding pool for the competition, the Skypool, which marked a milestone in the competition world. Around 40 other com- panies also belong to this sports association.
