From the Ferrer Foundations, we are publishing the Activity Report 2025, a transparency exercise that brings together all the initiatives developed during 2025 and highlights the transformative capacity of the projects we develop to build a more just and inclusive society.
All the initiatives we promote are guided by a common objective: the socialisation of wealth. The intention is to return it where it belongs, the social fabric that has made it possible to generate it.
According to the United Nations, by the year 2025, one in ten people worldwide will be living in poverty, and in Catalonia, one in three children live in households experiencing economic hardship. The UN sternly warns that realities such as these will continue to worsen as a consequence of the climate crisis, which intensifies inequalities and deepens the social crisis. Meanwhile, wealth continues to be concentrated in fewer and fewer hands.
“It is a profoundly unjust reality that we cannot normalise or contemplate with resignation. Faced with this scenario, working to promote equity and social justice is not just a matter of commitment, but an inescapable responsibility, especially for organisations in the Global North like ours.”explains Estefania Rico, Director of Socialization of Wealth.
The year 2025 has been a year of consolidation. Through the five foundations' areas of work – agriculture, literature, music, human rights, and sport – we have continued to generate opportunities, foster critical thinking and knowledge. Some of our key achievements include:
The Ferrer Foundations are born from the firm commitment of the pharmaceutical company Ferrer, a B Corp company whose purpose is to use its business to fight for social justice and which allocates around 50% of its profits each year to social, cultural and environmental causes.
“We wish to express our profound gratitude to the 1,800 people who make up the pharmaceutical company Ferrer, a B Corp company whose purpose is to use business to fight for social justice and that provides the necessary support to carry out our work. This shared effort and commitment allows us to develop emancipatory projects with responsibility, solidity, and real social impact.” expresses Rico.
