From Moventia we stand to thank all the people who make it possible for us to move forward to overcome this great challenge.
You are also indispensable. Now, being away makes us united.

For the second year in a row, the Moventia Solidaria team took part in the 20K Magic Line run from Vallvidrera to Barcelona Cathedral yesterday. The route gives runners the chance to take in some marvellous views of Barcelona from the Sant Pere Màrtir and El Xiprers viewpoints in Collserola and the Montjuïc viewpoint in Miramar. Running along the streets of Barcelona on a sunny day and for a good cause is an incredible experience.
More people joined the team this year and they described the experience as follows: “a huge personal challenge, but doing it for a good cause makes it even more enriching and motivates you”, “I was able to meet people from the company I didn’t know before and share a very special day with them”, “it was fantastic. I’ll definitely do it again”.
The Moventia Solidaria team managed to raise almost 1,600 euros this year. Why not join the team yourself next year and help us increase that figure?
The Magic Line is a charity event organised by San Juan de Dios to raise money for the most vulnerable people in society.
Faithful to its commitment to society, people and the community, and under its CSR policy, Moventia has once again renewed its partnership agreements with the El Vallès Symphony Orchestra and the Gran Teatre del Liceu, which were both first signed in 2017.
Through this action, Moventia seeks to promote, encourage and publicise cultural activity in this country as tools for social cohesion between people and society while also promoting the values upheld by the two entities.
The company has also been working with Fundació Orfeó Catalá – Palau de la Música since 2018 to help ensure these actions have a positive impact on society in general and people.
Moventia, in line with its CSR policy and with the aim of achieving a better society, has again been involved in the commitment and social responsibility of its environment by participating in non-profit entities and foundations.
Highlighted actions in December include, finding collaboration with the Enriqueta Villavecchia Foundation during the celebration of its 30th anniversary, as well as providing two vehicles to the same foundation. In addition, some of our employees took part in a volunteering scheme for the Three Wise Men to give presents to sick children.
In this regard, during the celebration of La Marató, dedicated to rare diseases, Moventia provided a bus from the company Sarfa to accompany the presenter, Quim Masferrer, around Catalonia.
Finally, Sarsa, the Seat, Audi, Volkswagen, Skoda and Cupra dealership of the Movento group participated in the processions of the Three Wise Men in Granollers, Terrassa and Castellar del Vallès, once again showing its commitment to society.
The support from Moventia and Tramvía de Barcelona in Sant Joan de Déu directly benefits over 500 people, men and women aged 18 to 65, in the process of regaining their personal independence.
The entities involved believe that mobility is one of the key aspects that are essential in combating social exclusion.
TRAM and Moventia have renewed their support for the project to provide mobility access to the homeless served by the social services of Sant Joan de Déu Serveis Socials – Barcelona. This partnership, which forms part of the actions being taken by the two businesses as socially responsible companies, represents a contribution of 60,000 euros to provide public transport to the people supported by various social service programmes.
Specifically, this help will be directly received by over 500 men and women aged between 18 and 65 who are helped every year by Sant Joan de Déu Serveis Socials – Barcelona through its programmes. The partnership was renewed at an event held at the Casa Orlandai Cultural Association attended by the Vice-Chair of Corporate, Internal and Institutional Communication of Moventia, Silvia Martí; the Chairman of TRAM, Felip Puig; the Managing Director of TRAM, Humberto López Vilalta; the Director of Sant Joan de Déu Serveis Socials – Barcelona, Salvador Maneu; and the Director of Obra Social Sant Joan de Déu, Oriol Bota.
During the event, the representatives from the two companies exchanged ideas with someone who had been helped at the Hort de la Vila residential inclusion centre, benefited directly from the project and now lives independently, as well as a social worker from the centre, allowing them to discuss the importance for the homeless of being able to access public transport in their day-to-day life.
The conversation highlighted that public transport is an essential tool that enables people to engage in daily life, such as studying, working or maintaining a social network, and especially for the homeless needing to access various public resources throughout the city of Barcelona and its metropolitan area. Furthermore, access to transport allows them to enjoy additional activities that directly impact their recovery because they strengthen social and community ties.
Comments were also made at the meeting about the positive impact of the project on employability: in 10 months (January to October 2019), the employment rate rose by 12%, enabling 42% of the people receiving this support to have a job by the end of the programmes. In this period, there has also been a 15% increase in people with a financial income (it should be noted that there was an increase this year in the number of people with a financial income visiting these centres, due to an increase in benefits). In total, 76% of the people who are helped leave with financial resources.
Sant Joan de Déu Serveis Socials – Barcelona, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, seeks to help the homeless recover from their situation through people-focused comprehensive care and accompaniment along their path to regaining complete independence. It is a benchmark service in this sector in Barcelona.
Specifically, the organisation helps over 500 people every year. According to the latest diagnosis report by XAPSLL (Network of Homeless Support Services), this figure represents 14% of all homeless in the city. In turn, Obra Social Sant Joan de Déu seeks social improvement and channels charity action by society towards various charity projects and centres. It also conducts awareness programmes and offers administrative support to other Sant Joan de Déu centres in terms of fundraising.
By signing this partnership deal, which forms part of the actions being undertaken by the two entities as socially responsible companies, TRAM and Moventia are joining forces and aligning values in terms of commitment to society and people, as well as the promotion of sustainable and safe mobility, with the values upheld by Sant Joan de Déu. Hence, they are providing access to mobility for the homeless through an economic contribution that will enable the cost of the transport passes used by these people during the year to be fully funded.
The project, promoted by Sant Joan de Déu Serveis Socials – Barcelona, is aimed at offering free access to the use of public transport in the city of Barcelona and surrounding areas to the homeless being looked after by the various direct support programmes operated by the organisation so they can attend their training, employment or job search activities, medical appointments, regain their network of social and family relationships, engage in socialisation support activities (including leisure and cultural activities) and any other type of procedure or activity coordinated with the social workers of Sant Joan de Déu to help them take back control of their life.
A diplomatic delegation from Belarus accompanied by representatives from the company Belkommunmash (a leading manufacturer of electric buses in Belarus) visited the new Moventia installations on Wednesday.

Unlike previous years, the presentation will now include a small cocktail event at which the foundation and Ignasi Blanch, illustrator for the poster this year, will explain to both sponsors and companies what the foundation does and how and where the money that is raised will be used.

To celebrate its 30th anniversary, the Enriqueta Villavecchia children’s oncology Foundation is offering a commemorative concert on Thursday, 9 May, that will be supported by Moventia.
The concert will be performed by the Palau de la Música Chamber Choir at the Basílica de la Sagrada Familia from 20:00 and, according to the organisers, will be attended by some 2,300 people.
Through this support, Moventia is once again demonstrating its commitment to society and people – two of the key cornerstones of the company’s CSR policy.
Moventia, a leading company in sustainable mobility, has announced a number of structural changes to consolidate the group’s growth in recent years.
With a long track record in the retail sector and considerable leadership and team management skills, Toni Sánchez Poveda is taking on the role of General Manager of Movento Automobiles. Toni Sánchez Poveda said he is thrilled to be joining the company and expressed excitement with the professional and personal challenge posed by the new position. He also thanked the company for believing in him.

At Moventis, the branch specialising in group passenger transport, Miquel Martí Pierre, who had already become General Manager of Discretionary Transport, Leisure and Tourism, is joining the group’s Expansion department; Juan Giménez is now the General Manager of Regular Transport Services; and Jordi Cabañas is in charge of Public Bicycles and Diversification.
At Movento, Santi Colomer has taken on the role of General Manager of Movento Diversification while Sandra Llunell is the new Manager of Moventia Marketing.
With the new organisation, Moventia is enhancing its human capital and getting ready to face new challenges in terms of sustainable mobility.
