Vision & Values
Our organisation consistently seeks to add value to everything we do, offering business solutions and trying to create a positive and sustainable impact on our surroundings.
The DNA of the group is inspired by the new business management system proposed by Gary Hamel and Michel Zanini, “Humanocracy”, a new management proposal that moves away from corporate bureaucracy, providing new ways of understanding engagement and productivity in organisations, where people’s talent, the value they bring and their autonomy are at the centre of decision-making, as well as the relationships of trust and the comprehensive well-being of clients, partners, employees and our surroundings as a whole.
Along these lines, the values characterising the daily action of GRUPO ALBIDANIA are:
humanisation
Talent, trust and autonomy.
Comprehensive well-being.
sustainability
Solutions and positive impact on people and on our surroundings.
innovation
Constantly evolving new opportunities.
excellence
Aiming for quality and the best results adding value.
Associations
GRUPO ALBIDANIA and its founder Francisco Vera are linked to associations and institutions, such as:
Círculo de Economía (Cercle d’Economia), is a non-profit business entity founded in Barcelona in 1958. Its Europe-focused perspective makes it a benchmark for other Spanish organisations. Its 1250 members and its 105 collaborating entities make Cercle d’Economia a multi-faceted entity that is independent of any type of private, sectoral or political interest. The diversity of professional profiles and political sensitivities of its members make Cercle d’Economia a very cross-sectional social institution.
Foment del Treball Nacional is the confederation that has represented entrepreneurs and the powerful Catalan industrial sector since 1771. As an independent, private, non-profit organisation, exercising the constitutional and legal right of association of entrepreneurs, it is democratically governed by freely elected representatives.
Francisco Vera has been a Royal Falconer of Spain since 2019.
