123456

During the first fortnight of December, Andamur has carried out the ‘You decide’ campaign, a solidarity project thanks to which we have donated €30,000 to various Spanish NGOs that carry out solidarity projects for different groups.

From 1 to 15 December, all those people who have used any Andamur service in our Service Areas have been able to vote for a solidarity project through tablets installed in them. Thanks to all those people who wanted to take part in this project, which has had almost a thousand votes. That is why our customers have been key to this campaign.

These are the NGOs among which 30,000€ have been distributed and which have received 5,000€ thanks to this initiative:

 

– Red Cross. Aid for those affected by the La Palma volcano (Andamur El Límite and Andamur Lorca, for which they will receive €10,000).

– Adsis Foundation. To provide training and employment opportunities for young people in vulnerable situations (Andamur San Román).

– Greenheart Animal Sanctuary. Rescue of mistreated and abandoned animals (Andamur Pamplona)

– ASPACE. Asociación Jiennense de Atención a Personas con Parálisis Cerebral y Afines (Jaén Association for the Care of People with Cerebral Palsy and Related Conditions). Entertainment activities for oncology children (Andamur Guarromán).

– Altem Foundation. The ALTEM Private Foundation is a non-profit organisation that has been supporting and accompanying people with disabilities and at risk of exclusion in their life projects for over 50 years (Andamur La Junquera, La Junquera-Llers and AND GO).

At Andamur we are committed to society and every day we do our bit to build a better world for everyone. With this action, we show our commitment to society and to organisations that contribute to social welfare. This action is part of our CSR Plan #CuidamosLoLoQueImporta, within the Social Commitment axis.

Andamur and its team has made a donation to ASPANAFOA following its solidarity action, “Breakfast with a Smile”

On 20th November, on World Children’s Day, we held “Breakfast with a Smile”, a solidarity initiative in which Andamur provided its service areas and business centre teams with coffee and fresh fruit for breakfast. In return, Andamur employees were encouraged to make a voluntary donation to charity.

The NGO to which the donation was made was chosen last year by the Andamur work centre that raised the most money in last year’s solidarity action: the Andamur San Román Service Area (Álava). Andamur set out to double the amount raised by its staff. So, today we have donated €1,200 to ASPANAFOA, the Association of Parents of Children with Cancer of Álava.

The donation ceremony was attended by the Association’s President, Mikel García, and the Andamur San Román team, representing all the company’s workers.

ASPANAFOA is a non-profit association founded in 1990 whose main objective is to improve the quality of life of children with cancer and their families. Furthermore, it strives to raise awareness about childhood cancer; foster associative movement; inform, guide and advise on childhood cancer, foster and support scientific research; and coordinate with all entities to overcome social barriers that hinder the personal and social development of children with cancer and their families.

Through this initiative, which is part of the CSR Plan, #WeLookAfterWhatIsImportant, Andamur shows its commitment to society and organisations that work day in, day out, for social welfare while fostering the achievement of the End Poverty in all forms and dimensions goal within the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In 2021, Andamur took part in face-to-face events again


In a different year in which we gradually got back into the new normal, we were delighted to be able to take part in face-to-face events once again.

2021 has been a year of change and adaptation, but it has also given us the opportunity to see each other face-to-face again and to get closer to our customers and suppliers. Some of the events we actively participated in and which are worth highlighting are:

  • ATFRIE VI National Congress and XLIV General Assembly, which was held in Huerto de Santa María, in El Puig, Valencia, on 23rd and 24th September.

Two full days in a wonderful location where the main problems and challenges facing the transport industry of today were discussed. The event, which was held under the slogan “for the dignity of the industry, towards a sustainable economic and social future”, was attended by experts in the field. As well as multiple activities for attendees and companions alike, the event included an outdoor exhibition where we showcased our emblematic truck.

  • Truck Talks. On 30th September, at Restaurante Andamur, at the Pamplona Transport Hub, we held, together with Michelin and WTransnet, an interesting event on sustainability, efficiency and collaboration. With a single objective: to foster a more efficient and sustainable road freight transport. The event was attended by renowned names from the transport industry and the field of sustainability. Truck Talks sought to provide a showcase that, far from overwhelming attendees with the regulations and investment required, would allow them to get excited about the idea of being part of the change.
  • The VIII National Congress of Tanker Transport Entrepreneurs took place on 19th and 20th October at Villa Laureana, Madrid. The event dealt with two important aspects within the transport industry: “the economic situation and future prospects”, where, among other things, they assessed the main concerns of Spanish transport entrepreneurs; and “the future of mobility”, looking into the new fuels available and the Government’s position with regard to encouraging demand. Throughout the two days, we had the opportunity to get a little closer to our customers, as part of our sales team came to meet them at our stand.
  • XX ANTRAM Congress. The Algarve Congress Centre, at the Salgados Palace Hotel in Albufeira, hosted the National ANTRAM Congress (The Portuguese National Association of Public Road Transport Congress), on 29th and 30th October. Our sales team from Portugal was present at a stand where they got the chance to get a little closer to their customers and to showcase the important innovations that Andamur presented.
  • WConnecta, a renowned networking event aimed at road freight transport professionals, which took place on 12th November 2021 at the Barceló Sants Hotel in Barcelona. A fantastic opportunity to meet companies in the industry that our sales team was able to take advantage of at our stand, as well as through quick interviews or speed networking in the areas set up for this purpose.

As well as attending these events, we participated in many others, at regional, national and international level, whether at round tables, presentations, by attending events, etc. We are rounding off 2021 on a high and we are eager to start organising our 2022 calendar.

Planning out your road transport route can save you time and money, as it will allow you to optimise the entire process of delivering goods. Fully aware of this, at Andamur we work hard every day to be able to offer new geostrategic points, both in Spain and beyond our borders, that make it easier for our customers to fill up their tanks so they can avoid detours and get to their destination faster.

On this occasion, there are 18 partners joining our Network and that we can add to the recent opening of our new Andamur La Junquera-Llers station. A trucks-only service area, which will provide an agile and efficient service to transport companies that want to quickly refuel and continue on their way.

At the international level, we have already surpassed a total of 700 stations with the incorporation of 14 new ones. In our commitment to sustainable transport, it is worth noting that 11 of them are multi-energy stations.

We Have Expanded our National Network to 59 Stations

At Andamur, we strive, day after day, to forge a closer relationship with our customers and offer increasingly improved services as well as a wider network to cover all their needs. With that in mind, we have expanded our National Network of partner stations, with two new points in Spain, specifically in Pontevedra, both accessible from the N550:

  • Sertuy, in Tuy, right on the border with Portugal
  • Carburantes El Sol, in Mos

With these two new partners, Andamur now has 59 partners in our network throughout Spain.

We are constantly adding new locations to our network, with a view to offering the maximum geographical coverage to our customers. Furthermore, all of them have a wide range of services adapted to the needs that may arise while out on the road, such as cafés, restaurants, showers, Wi-Fi, laundromat, etc.

On top of this is our firm commitment to multi-energy systems and the environment. In fact, two of our partners have added LNG and CNG service at their facilities. These are the Renova Oil Incoenergy and L’Hospitalet de l’Infant stations, both in Catalonia. That brings the number of multi-energy stations in our network to six.

Our goal is to be able to respond to all the needs of transport companies and haulers, making their long journeys easier and more optimal.

Andamur shares its iAndamur Innovation program with startups

<<Through an innovation workshop, we showed them our RD&I programme, iAndamur, and how it’s possible to grow and improve with new models based on innovation, networking and creativity>>

The first iAndamur Workshop for Start-Ups took place last July at our headquarters in Lorca. Start-ups from various sectors participated:  ihelpU, Sevensystem, Yohumanize, Reparaciones Técnicas del Plástico, Nivimu, ClimaticCo, APPCC-CONTROLLER and bodies like the INCOOVA programme of the CROEM (the Regional Confederation of Business Organizations of Murcia) and the CEEIC (the Cartagena European Business and Innovation Centre).

The main objective of this workshop was to stimulate innovation in these startups, so we began by explaining our iAndamur innovation programme, which, among other things, includes:

  • The way in which we capture our team’s business ideas, through Design Thinking exercises to stimulate creativity
  • Recognition of workers who transmit their innovative ideas to us
  • Relationships with other innovation organisations
  • The methodology that we’ve created for developing innovative projects is based on Lean Startup and falls within the framework of Standard UNE 166002

The workshop consisted of explaining our own innovation methodology, delving into how to apply it in practice and some of the main mistakes made when developing innovation projects.

We talked about the 4 recognitions that Andamur awards to employees who transmit the most innovative ideas, and we proposed 13 possible recognitions that the participants could use in their own companies.

We also discussed the potential of connecting with a good network of innovation organisations, which help us develop our company’s RD&I. These partnerships multiply a company’s innovative potential.

Finally, through a Design Thinking exercise, we explained how to identify business ideas, looked at some techniques for defining customers’ needs more clearly and the different variants that can emerge from an idea to meet a need, and we created a prototype of the ideas that we came up with throughout the day.

The workshop was guided by our innovation managers: Director of Services, Quality and Innovation Gabriel Veiga Dopico, and Head of Innovation Pedro Núñez del Castillo.

This first iAndamur Workshop for Startups is another example of our commitment to entrepreneurship and innovation, and we hope that all attendees can apply the methodology in their startups.

Andamur presents its first Corporate Social Responsibility Report 2019-2020

>> In cooperation with the University of Murcia CSR Department, Andamur has completed a full structure cycle in the form of a materiality assessment, CSR Plan and statement via this report.

Andamur has presented its first Corporate Social Responsibility Report 2019-2020 in cooperation with the Murcia CSR Department. The report outlines the company’s commitment, actions and achievements over the last two years resulting from the implementation of its #TakingCareOfWhatMatters CSR Plan, centred on five areas of activity: People; Taking Care of Drivers; The Environment; Corporate Governance; and Leadership and Future.

The report also sets out Andamur’s commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals, viewing them as an opportunity – a way of conducting our business activities in a more responsible way.

For Andamur, the presentation of this report isn’t just another activity – it’s a cause for celebration. Accordingly, on Thursday 15 and Friday 16 July, head office started the day filled with colourful balloons, corresponding to the colours of the 17 SDGs.

In addition to the Andamur family, representatives of the University of Murcia’s Corporate Social Responsibility Department attended the presentation event: Ana Jimenez- Alfaro, researcher and lecturer in the University of Murcia CSR Department and CSR and equality coordinator at BNFIX; Roberto Fuentes, the CSR Department’s head of communication and researcher; and Longinos Marín, the University of Murcia vice chancellor for social responsibility and transparency, and director of the CSR Department, who also spoke about the importance of CSR in businesses, and its relationship with the SDGs.

 

In the words of Longinus Marín: “Andamur has completed a cycle: it has undertaken a materiality assessment that consists of determining the aspects we must work on in the future; it has drawn up a CSR Plan for the future; and thirdly, it has produced a document that summarises everything it’s working on. It’s a very complete cycle – very few businesses in the Region of Murcia have done everything”

For his part, Andamur CEO Miguel Ángel López highlighted his family’s stance on CSR: “For us, CSR is something that’s in our blood – my parents and siblings have been doing it for 34 years in the company. Social responsibility is nothing more than what they’ve always told us we must do, setting the example. Helping in our environment, being dependable, being responsible and doing right by all our stakeholders”

 

Staff had a chance to play a game in which they could demonstrate their knowledge of Andamur’s activities within the CSR framework and their relationship to the SDGs. There were four winners, their prize a €500 donation to a charity of their choice. A total of €2,000 will be donated to the 4 initiatives chosen by the winners of the workshops: Fundación Theodora, Astrade,Apandis and 9 Vidas Berian.

 

Finally, Andamur has created a CSR page on its website where you can download or view the report, find out about its CSR activities and watch a video of the presentation event:  https://www.andamur.com/en/corporate-social-responsibility/
