Name of initiative Country Developers Description of the initiative and associated impact

Reforestation Spain and Portugal Fundación Cepsa

In Madrid, we are taking part in the 'Re-Planta' initiative promoted by Madrid Futuro, which aims to plant 10,000 trees to compensate for the damage caused by the winter storm Filomena. In Portugal, we have cooperated with the Quercus Environmental Association in the planting of 1,500 trees in the Leiria Pine Forest, which was affected by the fires of 2017.

Domestic oil recycling Spain Fundación Cepsa

The Fundación Cepsa promotes the recycling of used cooking oil with a dual effect: environmental, through proper waste management, and social, by generating income thanks to the recovery of used oil. In 2021, the funds obtained from oil recycling were donated to international cooperation projects in Peru and Mozambique. In Madrid we have also supported AFANIAS, which collects oil from schools and promotes jobs for people with intellectual disabilities.

Environmental education for schoolchildren on World Wetlands Day

Spain Fundación Cepsa

We organised a new edition of wetlands day under the slogan 'Inseparable: Water, Wetlands and Life', when schools from Campo de Gibraltar and Huelva went to the Madrevieja environmental station and the Primera de Palos Lagoon foreducational workshops and recreational activities highlighting the importance of natural spaces.

Restoration and maintenance of the Primera de Palos Lagoon
