Championing Diversity and Eco-Friendly Practices in Barcelona
Barcelona is a European beacon of diversity and opportunity. Its rich blend of cultures and commerce offers incredible possibilities for people from all walks of life. Among these is strong support for outreach and development programs aimed at assisting individuals with disabilities. At Barcelona Cruise Port, we are proud to collaborate with Refruiting, an organisation making significant strides in this area.
Refruiting is a fruit delivery service that operates across Spain, providing businesses with a steady supply of fresh produce through a subscription model. Their mission extends beyond just delivering fruits; they are committed to doing so in an eco-friendly and socially responsible manner. By sourcing fruits from local farmers and vendors, Refruiting not only reduces its carbon footprint but also bolsters the local economy. They further minimise food waste by maintaining consistent purchasing and delivery schedules, ensuring that fruits which might otherwise go to waste are utilised. Additionally, all packaging used by Refruiting is made from recycled and reusable materials, reinforcing their commitment to sustainability.
Beyond their environmental efforts, Refruiting’s core philosophy is to foster the inclusion of people with disabilities and those at risk of social exclusion in the workforce. They strive to create greater access to opportunities and uphold the rights and freedoms of all individuals in the workplace, promoting equality across the board. To achieve this, Refruiting partners with the Sifu Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to enhancing the social integration and job prospects of people with disabilities and special challenges.
Together, we are committed to advancing towards a more environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive workplace.
