Corporate Social Responsibility ASISPA

In ASISPA, the concerns for social issues, sustainability, human rights and the environment are essential matters to the organisation’s Corporate Social Responsibility policies that improve the quality of life of the people we assist. The general objectives that frame the lines of action are: Complying with current legislation, optimising the organisation’s Human Resources, ensuring the development of quality systems, consolidating Corporate Social Responsibility and reducing the environmental impact generated by our professional activity, among others, and therefore enhancing the following lines of action:

Charity outreach
The following campaigns have been carried out during 2018:

Social Ethics Committee
The Social Ethics Committee provides non-binding advice to the user, family members, professionals and other organisations in the field, based on universal bioethical principles, such as justice and autonomy. It aims to:
- Promote dissemination and personal reflection on issues related to social ethics.
- Issue non-binding reports, and prepare non-disciplinary support documents, since it does not assess behaviour, nor does it offer legal protection to the individuals or institutions involved.
- Protect the rights of users in an environment as humane as possible.
In short, the Social Ethics Committee will provide advice in situations where ethical values and the interests of the user or family are in conflict with those of ASISPA’s professionals.

Good Practices in Job Integration. Partners
Under this perspective, given the need to fill any vacancy in the entity through an external process, whenever possible, priority is given to candidates with certified disabilities equal to or greater than 33% or belonging to disadvantaged groups who, for different reasons, find it more difficult to access a job (victims of gender-based violence with this condition certified or not, people in a situation of social exclusion, people who have been unemployed for long periods of time, etc.)
