- The Community of Madrid grants Cecabank identification in recognition of its solidarity and good practices in the fight against Covid-19
Madrid - 5 February 2021
Cecabank, a Spanish bank that offers specialised banking services, has shown a high degree of concern about guaranteeing the health and safety of its employees and their families since the start of the pandemic. It has thus facilitated remote working and has adapted its branches to the new health safety requirements, establishing all the measures needed to prevent the transmission of Covid-19, while maintaining its high quality of customer service.
Thanks to the measures taken and the solidarity shown in preventing and minimising the risks caused by Covid-19, the bank has been recognised by the Community of Madrid with the "Garantía Madrid" identification, highlighting the company's commitment to minimising the impact of the coronavirus. This recognises Cecabank's compliance with regulations related to the prevention of Covid-19 and the extraordinary measures adopted to offer its employees and customers the best experience and services possible.
This commitment has been reinforced by Cecabank recently joining the CEOE Foundation's Health+Economy Sumamos Plan, which seeks to support the government in mitigating the adverse effects of the pandemic and the autonomous communities in containing the virus, reinforcing the actions taken by the relevant health authorities and providing companies with tools to help curb the number of infections.
The initiatives adopted by Cecabank since the start of the pandemic are fully aligned with the purpose of the Sumamos Plan. Such initiatives include working in shifts, creating so-called "bubble groups", exemption from in-person working for people at risk, voluntary remote working and adapting spaces to guarantee a safe working environment with the compulsory use of surgical or FFP2 masks, the installation of hand sanitation points and respecting social distancing.
Joining the Sumamos Plan reinforces this policy by incorporating new preventive measures, including regular diagnostic tests for employees that work in the branches, key to stopping the spread of the virus.
In the words of Antonio Romero, Cecabank's Corporate Director, "in the context of worsening epidemiological indicators, joining this initiative is an opportunity to participate in a public-private initiative with the common objective of mitigating the spread of the coronavirus. Companies, and especially the banking sector, play a crucial role not only in the fight against Covid-19, but also in the economic recovery thanks to our ability to implement extraordinary measures that contribute to economic development and progress for all".
