This Christmas, EDP launches a solidary campaign with its clients to support the Spanish Federation of Food Banks. All EDP clients participating in the Trade Point program of the company may take part in this solidary campaign called “Making Christmas double as good”. In order to do so, one only has to redeem the points obtained for food, that will be donated to the Spanish Federation of Food Banks (FESBAL by its initials in Spanish), and these, in turn, will be distributed around the different provinces where they operate. EDP will double the donations made by its clients.

From November 17 and until December 31, EDP will enable the Responsible Points, where clients may redeem their points to give them to the Food Banks through the usual channels, web, phone or kiosk. Per each 1 000 points collected, EDP will be donating 2 000 more.

During the first fortnight of January, the EDP Foundation will fulfil the donation to the FESBAL, that will oversee its distribution to the food banks of each territory or province.

All clients participating in this campaign will receive a communication, where they will be indicated about its final result.

To participate, clients need to be part of EDP’s Trade Point program. With the launching of this solidary campaign, EDP shows its support to solidary causes and its commitment with the society in which it operates.
