Aljomar-solidarity-product 1 copy Aljomar Group's Corporate Social Responsibility is a reality and a commitment we embrace with deep conviction every year. For years, the company has collaborated with numerous social organizations, primarily those focused on health and sports, participating in various initiatives. And in 2017, we took this to the next level by creating the 'Solidarity Product'. Thus, with the sum of all these actions, in the year that just ended, Jamones Aljomar was able to allocate more than €25,000 to the social campaigns it supported. None of this would have been possible without our clients and, of course, without the wonderful people who make up and bring to life the recipient associations.

THANK YOU!

To Pyfano (children with cancer), Aerscyl (association of rare diseases of Castilla y León), ADAA (association of help to relatives of patients of the Balearic Islands), Red Madre , Cascajares-Aladina , Brotherhood of Blood Donors of Salamanca, Association of Deaf Blind People of Castilla y León, Social Cooperation fund of the University of Salamanca, and National Cancer Association, for the incomparable work you do and for giving us the opportunity to contribute to it.

THANK YOU!

Of course, we thank our customers, because through their purchases they have made it possible for us to give a name to our charitable vocation and to do our bit to make a better world.

The 'Solidarity Product' seal

Through the 'It tastes great to HELP others' campaign, JAMONES ALJOMAR created the 'Solidarity Product' seal in 2017. This has meant that the company has donated €1 for every product included in customer orders – at no cost to the customer. The funds raised have been distributed periodically throughout the year to the NGOs currently supported by Aljomar. The first check raised thanks to the sale of products from the Aljomar catalog, marked with the 'Solidarity Product' seal, went to Pyfano , the association of children with cancer in Castilla y León, for €2,750 ; then there was another one for €3,000 for ADAA, an association that does commendable work supporting the families of patients in the Balearic Islands. Aljomar Hams also presented a check for €2,000 to the Salamanca branch of the Red Madre Foundation and another, of the same value, to the Aladina Foundation, to which the Cascajares Traditional Capon Auction at the Palace Hotel in Madrid was dedicated. Of course, at this important charitable event, Aljomar also bid on the capons , and during the event, we contributed by offering a tasting of Tributo Don Alfonso Iberian Acorn-Fed Ham and Iberian Acorn-Fed Loin. The last check, worth €3,000, from the proceeds of the 'Solidarity Product' in 2017, went to the Spanish Association Against Cancer .

Supporting health also means supporting sport

Aljomar is also involved in social projects linked to sports, due to the values ​​it promotes and its close relationship with promoting a healthy lifestyle, diet, and habits . Therefore, as part of our sponsorship and social responsibility plans, last year we collaborated with clubs such as Velocistas Salmantinos and Club Deportivo Guijuelo, and initiatives such as the Marta Fernández Basketball Camp , the Bejarana Cycling School , and cyclist David Benito . Finally, we closed out the year as official sponsors of the San Silvestre Salmantina race, and, in addition, rewarded the runners' sporting spirit with a raffle for two Aljomar Iberian hams . In this same vein, the brand once again collaborated with the Salamanca Blood Donors Association in funding and producing the t-shirts worn by donors in the traditional race. At Aljomar, we are very aware of our social responsibility as a company and as a group of people, and we will continue to strive in this regard. Throughout 2018, as part of our 25th Anniversary celebrations , we will be developing a wide-ranging program of events and are committed to maintaining a busy schedule of social initiatives that will allow us to contribute to and be part of a more compassionate world.
