Social Responsibility Ibersol Group
Grupo Ibersol sees Corporate Social Responsibility as a key commitment that goes beyond our hotel business. We strongly believe in generating a positive impact on society and the environment we operate in, actively doing out bit to foster the well-being of the most vulnerable communities.
One of the cornerstones of our CSR strategy is our collaboration with the NGO Kumpu, an organisation committed to education and sustainable development in Africa. Through this alliance, we have been involved in a number of different solidarity initiatives that strive to improve quality of life of communities in Guinea-Bissau.
Kumpu Project

Over the last few years, Grupo Ibersol has significantly contributed to building schools in the region of Xime, ensuring children and young people have access to a decent education. We don’t just make financial donations, out team is also directly involved, personally visiting the projects to ensure that the funds reach their destination and are used effectively.
In addition, we have carried out various solidarity actions in our hotels to involve employees and customers in this cause. These include the donation of mattresses from the Hotel Ibersol Antemare**** to the NGO Kumpu , which at the time of the DANA in Valencia allocated them to the most needy people, as well as fundraising initiatives, such as the sale of the Christmas lottery with a solidarity contribution for each ticket sold. We have also organized internal activities such as Christmas Jumper Day and the solidarity Secret Santa, in which our employees have actively participated to raise funds for the NGO Kumpu.
