Vayoil Textil has entered into a partnership with the Amica association to sponsor a grove of 70 olive trees at the Diversia Campus, a project that combines environmental restoration, inclusive employment, and rural development in the Valencian Community.
We have joined forces to support Campus Diversia, a 412-hectare natural setting located in the Valencian Community where workers with disabilities carry out reforestation and agricultural maintenance tasks and receive training in trades related to sustainability.
The choice of the olive tree is based on a strategic approach. In addition to being a native species highly adapted to the Mediterranean environment, it stands out for its longevity, resilience, and ability to sequester carbon. Its cultivation also helps generate economic activity and stable employment in rural areas, as the management of the forest results in the production of organic extra virgin olive oil, the sale of which helps fund the project itself.
According to Luis Esteve, founder of Vayoil Textil, the Vayoil Forest “contributes to rural revitalization, the creation of job opportunities for people with disabilities, the promotion of organic farming, and the restoration of natural areas of high ecological value, integrating economic, social, and environmental development.”
Partnerships that generate environmental, social, and economic value
The Amica association emphasizes that these types of partnerships with private-sector companies serve a threefold purpose: environmental, by promoting carbon sequestration in the soil; social, by creating inclusive and stable jobs; and economic, by revitalizing rural areas and helping to retain the local population. In the words of María José Cabo, Amica’s manager, this is “support for a model in which social inclusion and land stewardship go hand in hand.”
This initiative is part of Vayoil Textil’s commitment to the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals, an area of focus the company has been pursuing for more than a decade, linking its activities in the textile sector with responsible, long-term business practices.
