Repsol YPF and Fundació ESADE have recently signed a collaboration agreement through which the energy company will collaborate with ESADE's Institute for Social Innovation. This agreement will focus on research and training projects in the area of corporate social responsibility over the next two years.
José María Pérez Garrido, Repsol YPF's Director of Corporate Reputation and Social Action, expressed his satisfaction with the signed agreement, commenting that, "The approaches of the Institute for Social Innovation agree totally with Repsol YPF's own approach regarding the role responsible companies should play in society".
For Pérez Garrido, innovation implies value creation, which is an objective pursued by every organisation in terms of developing successful business projects. "We are backing this project with the conviction that the Institute will make an invaluable contribution towards companies being better for more people and for this to take place on a solid basis."
According to Ignasi Carreras, Director of ESADE's Institute for Social Innovation, "Thanks to contributions from companies such as Repsol YPF, the Institute will be able to promote research in innovating subjects in the fields of corporate social responsibility, leadership and management of NGOs and other non-profit organisations, with the aim of contributing to a fairer and more sustainable world."

According to the president of the global steel producers, CELSA, "A company's main value is its workforce. The CELSA group currently requires executives with a well-rounded education, who are entrepreneurs and, above all, people with a broad international outlook".
Francesc Rubiralta highlighted the important role that ESADE plays in society, "given that it is a benchmark for the economic and business world, and the quality of the training and programmes it delivers, as well as the international character for which it has always been characterised, is well recognised".
On the other hand, Carlos Losada has expressed his satisfaction at "companies such as CELSA working to strengthen links with the institution, because through supporting the development of talent they are demonstrating their firm commitment to social and commercial progress".
