+ Over the first six years, it has given more than one million euros (€1,279,875) to those most in need.
Madrid, 15 December 2001.- The CIMD group, the largest independent intermediation, consulting, management and energy group in Spain and Portugal, wanted to contribute yet against this year to helping finance projects for children and research in Spain and Portugal.
This pioneering action in the Spanish markets, consists of handing over the full intermediation and turnover revenues generated that day by the group's nine companies to a group of NGOs selected by the Group’s Board in order to help run projects for the those most in need and improve their quality of life.
The NGOs chosen in 2011 cover a number of sectors amongst those most disadvantaged: children, immigrants, research, primary care, leisure, etc.
