ICT Ibérica and the Fundación Alcoraz complete the third phase of the 'Play Your Part' programme
ICT Ibérica and the Fundación Alcoraz complete the latest phase of the 'Play Your Part' programme with plantations in Torremocha de Jarama (Madrid), Almudévar (Huesca) and Pego (Alicante), for the third edition of the project that started in 2021
ICT Ibérica's commitment to the environment is sound and strong, and these actions are a concrete demonstration of this. Nine areas have already been reforested and more than 8,000 trees planted. A project that aims to absorb CO2 through the protection or maintenance of our forests, the restoration of paths, the preservation of created green areas, the removal of weeds, soil stabilisation and fire prevention measures.
Once again, the environmental and technical aspects of the work and the development of the plantation were directed by CO2 GESTIÓN, a company specialising in the restoration of forest areas and the creation of carbon sink projects for the Ministry of Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge (MITERD).
Bosques ICT Ibérica Foundation- Alcaraz. Third phase of the 'Play Your Part' programme
The third phase of the 'Play Your Part' programme was completed with the new forests of Torremocha de Jarama (Madrid), Almudévar (Huesca) and Pego (Alicante)
In the case of Torremocha de Jarama, more than 1,100 trees of the Populus nigra, Populus alba, Fraxinus angustifolica, Ulmus minor and Crataegus monogyna species were planted.
Next, it was the turn of the city of Almudévar, which, with the collaboration of the municipality and the pupils of the public school Santos Samper, planted more than a thousand Aleppo pine, Sabina, almond and olive trees, which will bring multiple environmental and social benefits to the residents of Almudévar.
Finally, to complete the third phase of the project, a new forest with more than a thousand species of Olea europea, Pinus pinea, Ceratonia siliqua and Tetraclinis articulata was planted in the city of Pego, Alicante. With this plantation, a total of 85 tonnes of carbon will be offset for the atmosphere throughout its growth and life, another help in caring for the planet and improving air quality.
ICT Ibérica celebrates its 25th anniversary
Founded on 20 May 1999 in Madrid and based in El Burgo de Ebro (Zaragoza) since 2004, it has achieved its goal in this quarter of a century: To be a leader in the tissue (fabric) industry, thanks to the quality and innovation of its products and always committed to society and the environment.
On 30 May, the first of the events to commemorate this quarter of a century took place. The institutional event organised by ICT Ibérica on the occasion of its anniversary was attended, among others, by the most representative authorities of our community, such as the president of the Parliament of Aragon, the vice-president of the government, and companies and suppliers linked to the plant.
The event started with a speech by the general director of the plant, Agustí Maronda, continued with statements by the president, José Luis Pérez Quintana, and ended with speeches by the mayor of El Burgo de Ebro, as host municipality, and the second vice-president of the Government of Aragon and regional minister of Economy, Labour and Industry, Mar Vaquero.
Participants then had the opportunity to see the most modern production centre in Southern Europe up close, with an investment of over 250 million euros spread over two phases, making it the supplier of choice for the Iberian market and the South of France. Guests at the commemorative event were able to see how a modern and innovative factory, employing more than 340 people, achieved a turnover of more than €280 million, exporting 25% of its production to France and Portugal.
A very special open day with staff, family and friends took place on Saturday 1 June. A factory tour was held to proudly show the work areas. We were also able to enjoy a day full of activities and surprises for young and old alike. Among the many proposals were workshops on caring for the planet, the importance of bees, the paper workshop, raising awareness on the importance of road safety, inflatables, face painting, food trucks, video games, and live music. It was a great day, attended by more than 1,000 people, where the whole ICT Ibérica family could blow out 25 candles in a very special way.

Foxy and Unicef Spain. 10 years of a strategic alliance to transform the reality of children’s lives
Long-term commitments make it possible to generate real changes with a high impact on children’s lives; a good example of this are the results we have been achieving every day for the past 10 years in our partnership with UNICEF
The Sustainable Development Goals set a common agenda for 2030 that is both ambitious and challenging. That is why, since 2013, we have sought to forge a strategic and long-term partnership to support UNICEF in accompanying the most disadvantaged communities in their sustainable development, with a focus on the most vulnerable children
Undoubtedly, the sum of commitment and support contributes to supporting the well-being of children and adolescents around the world. But it is precisely the long-term view that generates profound and impactful changes and makes it possible to transform children’s reality by not only addressing their immediate needs, but also by having an impact on their development and vital growth, their future opportunities, as well as those of their communities.
For Foxy Spain, the best example of this is our alliance with UNICEF Spain that has been going strong for 10 years now, which we use as a launchpad for jointly addressing inequality in learning through education, as well as promoting hygiene and health in school environments. A high-impact alliance with which we have already contributed to improving the lives of more than 67,000 children in Mali and Ivory Coast.
In this decade of partnership, we have contributed to improving school enrolment and achievement rates in Mali while improving the quality of water and sanitation facilities in schools. These measures have a particularly positive impact on the schooling of girls, who, when they reach adolescence, need the school environment to guarantee their needs.
In addition, since 2019, Foxy has focused its support on the education of vulnerable girls in Ivory Coast, sustainably improving access, permanence and quality learning in regions with lower access and completion rates at primary and secondary levels, where girls lag ten points behind boys. Efforts that are leading to improvements in education in a country that, despite the still great challenges, is on track to achieve SDG4 on “quality education”.
These ten years of partnership prove the value of stable engagement and the cumulative impact and sustained change that result from it. Long-standing partnerships enable the possibility of ongoing work advocating for systemic change.
That is why today we are proud to look back and see the great progress we have made together with Unicef Spain since 2013; we also face the future with enthusiasm for the positive impact we will continue to generate, in order to improve the lives of thousands of children and adolescents.
A benchmark alliance for our brand that shows us how to continue building long-term agreements that enable us to face present and future challenges.
