The Naturgy Foundation launched its \u201cSocial Energy Initiative Prize\u201d earlier today, which seeks to achieve two goals: raising the profile of outstanding individuals, entities and institutions in social sectors tied to energy; and helping fund initiatives in this field to improve quality of life for the most vulnerable.<\/p>\n

First prize will consist of 60,000 euros, and there will also be a runners-up prize of 30,000 euros. These prize amounts must be spent in full on environmental, education, vulnerability, entrepreneurship, social inclusion or healthcare projects in the field of energy.<\/p>\n

The Chairman of the Naturgy Foundation, Rafael Villaseca<\/strong>, believes that \u201cmore than just rewarding a certain specific project, the value of this prize lies in the continued funding for social projects in the field of energy.\u201d Rafael Villaseca went on to say that \u201cit is important for companies to foster this kind of initiatives at a time when energy is at the centre of social debate, be that from an environmental, educational or vulnerability perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n
