As part of its global commitment to gender equality and the promotion of women's sport, Iberdrola has designed a campaign aimed at supporting the sportswomen who will be in action at the Gamesin order to highlight their achievements in Tokyo over the next few weeks.

The initiative includes a variety of activities. In the evening prior to the opening of the Games, namely on Thursday 22 July, an event will be held attended by Carolina Marín, Desirée Vila, Loida Zabala, Amanda Sampedro, Garazi Sánchez, Teresa Díaz and Silvia Arderius, who will be sending messages of support to all the Spanish sportswomen competing in the Games.

The Lázaro Galdiano Museum will be the venue for this festival of Spanish sport and provide the backdrop for the official launch of a video featuring eight women representing different cultural fields such as Alaska, Hiba Abouk, Ana Rosa Quintana, Carmen Posadas and Ana Guerra, among others, who have been brought together by Iberdrola to transmit their energy to Spain's female representatives in Tokyo. During the event the attendees will take part in a healthy cooking master class given by Samantha Vallejo-Nájera.

Iberdrola will also be setting up a temporary radio studio in "Casa España", headquarters of the Spanish Olympic Committee to record a series of special programmes featuring guest sports personalities who will discuss the performances of Spain's sportswomen at the Games and relate their own Olympic experiences. Each programme will consist of hour long recordings made between 26 and 30 July and 2 and 6 August, which will be broadcast via digital platforms.
