AGAMED, the mixed economy company formed by the City of Torrevieja and Hidraqua, has signed an agreement with Alimentos Solidarios Torrevieja to launch an initiative to help those most vulnerable groups and promote sustainability among citizens. The company is committed to donate 1 euro to Food Solidarity Torrevieja for each customer who requests the digital bill before June 5, 2022, World Environment Day.

The signing of the agreement was made this morning by Eduardo Dolon, mayor of Torrevieja, Jorge Ballesta, manager of Agamed and Gemma Cruz, deputy manager. The municipal representatives and the joint venture have used this event to learn firsthand the important work that Alimentos Solidarios Torrevieja performs for the city. This NGO, founded in 2010, today performs 200 daily menus for those families who need it most.

During this visit, it has been highlighted that "this initiative contributes to a sustainable, fair and inclusive recovery and is a call to action to citizens so that, through such a sustainable gesture as requesting the digital bill, they can contribute to improve the situation of many families in vulnerable situations".

It also represents a step forward towards digitalization in favor of the natural environment and the environment. With the digital invoice, which can be requested through the Customer Area of our website, users can consult their invoices quickly, conveniently and securely, without the need to print and reducing CO2 emissions compared to other invoice formats.

Solidarity and sustainability are two concepts that converge in this new campaign that seeks to promote recovery without leaving anyone behind at a time when millions of people are at risk of social exclusion.

The initiative joins other collaborations that have been carried out throughout the pandemic to help the families most affected by the economic crisis derived from COVID 19, such as, for example, the increase in the company's social fund to include those groups in the city most affected by the economic crisis. The company also collaborated with the Red Cross RESPONDE Campaign, for each customer who registered in the Customer Area of the website. With this action, the company aimed to encourage online transactions, thus ensuring the safety and health of customers and staff, while promoting these non-face-to-face channels for which AGAMED has made a strong commitment in recent years and which has been intensified as a result of the pandemic.
