Sport is a key element to maintain and improve physical and mental health at all stages of life. At Aludium we take care of the health of our employees, among other actions, promoting the practice of sports inside and outside the company and getting involved in local sports events and competitions. These actions are part of Aludium’s healthy company project called ‘Health forever’, which has been in development for more than 4 years from the company’s medical service, integrated into the Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) department, and promoted by Human Resources.
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”. “The ultimate goal of Aludium’s ‘Health Forever’ initiative is to make the company’s workers healthier, more motivated, satisfied and happier by meeting all aspects of the WHO definition of health. Consequently, the promotion of healthy lifestyle habits is key to achieving this goal”, declares Manuel Rodríguez, a doctor at Aludium.
The first activity carried out to promote sports practice among our team in 2022 took place on Sunday, February 20, where 15 people of our levantine plant participated in the Alicante half marathon. 2,500 athletes participated in the competition, of which a quarter were women. The celebration of this test has resumed after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic. The competition included a 10-kilometre race and was carried out on a single approved circuit that covered the most outstanding places in the city.
