Triple-balanced structure: economic, environmental and social
At HISPASAT, we are committed to offering services in a way that creates added value for both our clients and our shareholders, as well as for the rest of the interest groups with whom we are connected: suppliers, employees, community, etc.
We develop this commitment by considering social responsibility to be a key element to our business management and a factor present in the strategic and operational decisions made with regard to our business. Under this philosophy, we seek to carry out our activity in a sustainable way and to promote the organisation’s continuous improvement in moving towards this goal.
We view sustainability as the ability to produce social and environmental wellbeing in our surroundings, while in turn generating economic value and maintaining our leadership as a Spanish satellite operator.
