Bankia has donated ten computers to Grupo Fundación San Cebrián de Palencia, with the aim of enabling the social organisation to expand its technology resources and, thus facilitate access to new technologies for people from the Foundation with intellectual disabilities.

The equipment was handed over at an event held at the headquarters of the Group in Palencia, in which the General Director of Grupo Fundación San Cebrián de Palencia, Eva del Río,; the manager of one of Bankia's branches in Palencia, Jesús Ramos, and the SME manager of the Bankia Management Area of León, Palencia, Zamora and Salamanca, Juan José Rodríguez took part.

'We will allocate these computers to improve the quality of care for people as they will allow greater connectivity with the outside at a time when new technologies are increasingly necessary for remaining connected', said the General Director of the entity, Eva del Río.

'Bankia is proud to be able to support an association that is a reference in Palencia because of the work it does and the important work it provides to people with functional disabilities and their families'. 'The digital divide is yet another, in the current context, of the many handicaps that this group has, and we are convinced that there is no better way to give a second life to our equipment', said Ramos.

Bankia consolidates and reinforces its commitment to society through five priority lines of social action: employment and training, housing, local and rural development, disability and the environment. The bank is focusing its social investment on these areas and shows its commitment to society by involving the entire organisation and its employees.

The Responsible Management policy is a capillary, grassroots programme that connects the bank's welfare work with its corporate objectives. This enables Bankia to prioritise five of the 17 SDGs: Climate Action (SDG 13), Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG 8), Quality Education (SDG 4), Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11) and SDG 17, which encompasses them all, Alliances to achieve the objectives.
