Every year, we join an educational program of the Community of Madrid aimed at students in the 4th year of Secondary Education at public schools. This program is carried out on a Pro bono basis, with the aim of bringing the education system and businesses closer together. We join the “Street Law” initiative, in collaboration with prestigious Universities such as ICADE and IE, that brings the law to the most disadvantaged. As part of our CSR program and in line with our commitment to social justice, we collaborate with university legal clinics to help train the next generation of lawyers and to promote Pro bono work. We sponsor scholarships through the "Becas Alumni UC3M" program offered by Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, and we also participate in various corporate volunteering programs to coach and mentor disadvantaged children and students.

Over 60% of employees joined the last edition of the Christmas season “Reyes Magos de Verdad” and "Apadrina una Carta” offering presents for children in need and elder people living in retirement homes. We also organized a "Christmas Impact Day" where we visited a homeless shelter and spent an afternoon cooking and playing games with the residents.
