Social Commitment
In line with its social commitment, the CCIB carries out projects that help improve people’s quality of life, especially for those in vulnerable situations or at risk of social exclusion.
Just in 2024, the CCIB took part in 33 projects and allocated over €518,000 to social programs, including food and material donations, the provision of spaces and services, the involvement in campaigns and financial contributions.
Barcelona Forum District
The CCIB is a founding member of the Barcelona Forum District (BFD), a pioneering non-profit association in Europe. It was created in 2011 and brings together companies, institutions and organisations from the Barcelona Forum environment with shared values in terms of social responsibility, environmental sustainability and cultural development.
Since its inception, the BFD has facilitated the employment of more than 700 people, among many other actions promoted throughout the year.

In 2024, we took part in the Waste Collection Day at the Besòs River Park (Sant Adrià del Besòs) as part of the Let’s Clean Up Besòs campaign, an initiative to raise awareness about the importance of protecting the environment and reducing the waste discarded in natural surroundings. In total, 360 kg and 127 kg were collected, respectively, during the two hours of the activity.
