CSR 2011Guide to socially responsible services in Ciutat VellaThis guide reaffirms Ciutat Vella district authority’s commitment both to social responsibility in the local sphere and to businesses which, through their economic activities, undertake actions that demonstrate their social responsibility. The district authority is keen to play a leading role in this sphere, and to exercise social responsibility at the local level and through services to the district and the people who live and work here. We pursue this aim by providing information and fostering transversal cooperation between organisations, government bodies and economic players with a view to optimising training and integration into employment.

In Ciutat Vella we have all the resources needed to become leaders in the concept of local social responsibility. The different neighbourhoods in the district generate considerable economic wealth and opportunities. Moreover, we are home to an invaluable social network of organisations engaged in training and in integration into employment.

These organisations have a social commitment to the more vulnerable sectors of society, and are praised by the local business community and institutions due to the cohesive nature of their projects. In view of this, and with a view to joining forces and consolidating the effectiveness of the services provided, two local networks have been established in Ciutat Vella.

The objective behind this Guide to socially responsible services in Ciutat Vella, whose contents are the result of consensus between the district authority and local employment networks, is to make available to companies information about the job broking services provided by the specialist social network. Firstly, the guide seeks to raise awareness and to bring the business community closer to social networks devoted to local job broking for people with social difficulties, in order to provide personalised itineraries and services that can help such people to achieve integration into employment.

Secondly, it promotes and fosters employment initiatives to provide professional services to companies in different sectors that find added value in exercising social responsibility and commitment to the neighbourhood. These socially responsible services, which contribute to sustainable economic, social and environmental development in Ciutat Vella, are described in the pages that follow.

Ciutat VellaCiutat Vella, District One, occupies Barcelona’s old town. The district is formed by four barris, neighbourhoods, which have largely conserved their singular qualities, and where much of the city’s rich historic heritage is located.

La Barceloneta This is the youngest of the four neighbourhoods, established in the mid-18th century to rehouse those displaced from La Ribera when the Ciutadella (citadel) was built.

El RavalThis neighbourhood, which grew up along the rural paths outside the city walls, was the cradle of the local Industrial Revolution, which began here in the 19th century.

El GòticThe “Gothic Quarter” is the oldest urban area in Barcelona.

Sant Pere, Santa Caterina and La RiberaThese are “quarters” created by the expansion of the city in medieval times.

The urban territory that Ciutat Vella occupies symbolises the “city within the city”. Today, it has adopted the model of the global city, generating opportunities and wealth, and is a window onto the world that is Barcelona. However, the district can also be the scene of tensions and conflict, as the interactions that take place here cannot be understood without fusing past heritage and present action.

Ciutat Vella aims to reconcile its natural centrality, a universality of which it is proud, and the residential fabric that defines its singularity. The tourist and economic attractions of this district are the direct effect of successful policies to regenerate the district. Now, everyone wants to be here!

Due to the complexity of the ecosystem that is Ciutat Vella, and to ensure its sustainability, it is vital that the institutions should work hand-in-hand with citizens, particularly those that live and work in the district. By bringing together responsible initiatives and activities, we can help to build a positive, balanced future for everyone, to the overall benefit of our district.

CSR, a concept worth bearing in mindCSR stands for corporate social responsibility.

More and more companies are adopting socially responsible practices, becoming involved in the work of associations and implementing sustainable activities.

CSR can be defined as a company’s commitment to the local territory and to the people who live there. It is a business management model that takes into account economic, social and environmental considerations whilst seeking to ensure transparency and safety. Companies can voluntarily contribute in many ways to the development of their local environment and to improving quality of life for the people who live in it, as well as establishing fluid communication channels and relations.

However, CSR is not the exclusive prerogative of large enterprises. The commitment to CSR generates benefits for businesses of all kinds, including small and medium-sized enterprises. Many companies have seen that, besides furthering their commitment to their local environment and fostering social cohesion, the application of socially responsible actions has helped to improve their market position, making them more competitive and increasing their value in the eyes of consumers and users. All this generates added value that is finally seen in the company balance sheet.
