From the day after the devastation caused by the DANA in Valencia and other parts of the country, UVESA Group launched a Coordination Committee composed of people from Uvesa Valencia and other departments and Directorates, in order to take measures to support both the affected employees and the Valencian society.
To date, individual contact has been made with each of the colleagues affected to find out their needs and act on the basis of them.
