Something as simple as turning off the lights for an hour may be symbolic, but it is an act of enormous value. If we all join together, we can show that our planet, the place where we live, matters to us. On March 23, turn off the lights.

Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant, which is why many people consume it to relieve fatigue and increase alertness. But not all coffees have the same effect, as the amount of caffeine is not the same in all of them. Fundación MAPFRE would like to remind you that if you want to beat tiredness, the best recipe is rest, especially if you are going to drive; and we recommend that you consume coffee for the sole purpose of delighting your senses and giving your day a spark of flavor, enjoying this pleasant experience.

At Fundación MAPFRE we believe that gender equality is more than a goal in itself, it is an attitude. That is why, on International Women’s Day, we are giving a voice to three real and empowered women from our team who every day strive to make the world a better place.

The main task of an organisation with such a strong social commitment as Fundación MAPFRE is to reduce all kinds of shortcomings and promote second chances aimed at protecting the most vulnerable.

Today is a day to remember the progress that has been made in reducing inequalities between men and women. Today is International Women’s Day and I would like to add my voice to those of other women. We all have a lot to say.

For many of the people living in the heart of the Amazon rainforest – the world’s largest – it is impossible to get an antigen test, an essential tool in the fight against COVID-19. This first Scientific Mission managed to conduct more than one thousand tests between August 3 and 25.

Despite being a vacation month, the testing facility at the Wizink Center carried out more than 19,000 antigen tests on the people of Madrid in August. The success of this initiative has encouraged us to extend the service through to September 30.

If you’d like to take a free test to help identify the virus at an early stage, come along to our free testing center. We’ll be at the Wizink Center in Madrid until August 31.
