Enresa Foundation

The Enresa Foundation is a non profit-making beneficiary and assistance institution set up by the company in 1990.

In accordance with its Charter, the activities of the Foundation focus on the areas involved in the active management of radioactive wastes, such as those in the vicinity of the El Cabril facility (Córdoba) and the nuclear power plant in the dismantling phase, Vandellós I (Tarragona) and José Cabrera (Guadalajara).

The Foundation’s activities cover four areas:

• Social Development, through the rendering of welfare services and programmes and activities aimed at socio-economic development, contributing to the welfare and enhancement of the quality of life of the populations residing in the vicinity of Enresa’s centres of activity.
• The Environment, promoting programmes and activities aimed at improving awareness and conservation of the natural heritage, invigorating resources, and at the sustainable development of the environment and its due valuation. The Environmental Chairs created at certain Spanish universities are a clear example.
• Education and Science, by means of projects and initiatives contributing to the promotion and dissemination of educational and scientific activities, with the objective of improving the understanding and critical judgement capacity of the populations residing in Enresa’s areas of activity and of the public in general. Examples of the above are the masters’ degrees and other courses systematically offered by certain Spanish universities and the awarding of scholarships, the collaborations with research programmes relating to wastes and the promotion and scientific dissemination of these issues, along with the organisation of seminars and forums on these matters and other current affairs.
• Culture and Sport, through projects and initiatives of a cultural nature and relating to awareness and conservation of the historic and cultural heritage and its due valuation, along with the promotion of sporting activities.

For all its activities the Enresa Foundation pursues the participation and support of other organisations, from town councils, central government regional offices and the governments of the autonomous communities to institutions, entities, associations or groups having similar objectives and purposes.

The institution is subject to the guardianship of the Ministry of Health and Social Policy and governed by the specific legislation on foundations:

• The Foundations Act, Law 50/2002
• Law 49/2002 on the tax regime applicable to non profit-making entities, and
• The Regulation on Foundations of State Competence of February 23^rd 1986.

The Enresa Foundation seeks to contribute to environmental improvement and to heighten the awareness of society regarding the need for environmental protection. The activities of the Environmental Departments created at different Spanish universities constitute an instrument for the dissemination of environmental knowledge, fundamentally with regard to the treatment of wastes in general, and of radioactive wastes in particular.
