The Irizar Group today Strengthening our strategic positioning The health crisis has imposed a very complex management environment on us in which we are required to balance different needs: in the short term, to protect the health and safety of people and their families; in the medium and long term, guaranteeing business sustainability and the continuous generation of value for all our stakeholders. The different actions that we are implementing during this period further reinforce, where needed, our strategic positioning and the inherent values of the Irizar brand.
We safeguard employment and retain talent In the economic crises of 2009 and 2020-21, we managed to protect the jobs of the Irizar Group’s staff. We achieved this through collaboration and by being more supportive than ever. We have improved communication and training in order to continue preparing for the new normal. We remain involved in Social Innovation Projects. We are proud to see the level of commitment, flexibility, strength and adaptability that Irizar people demonstrate every day.
Closer than ever to our customers, supporting them where necessary We are developing major innovations in the Group and we have provided anti-Covid safety solutions aimed at reactivating and recovering the sector: protection screens for driver and passengers, access temperature control cameras, eCo3 air purifiers, air renewal systems and passenger compartment disinfection. More than 10,000 buses and coaches are fitted with these Irizar innovations that comply with the necessary safety and hygiene standards and thus help prevent the spread of the virus.
We continue to cultivate talent and generate quality jobs and we remain an attractive company. All within a culture and business approach of integrity that is governed by Ethical Principles. We play an active role in defending the industry and its high added value, promoting economic recovery and the generation of local wealth and employment.
