Juan Roig, president of Mercadona, plans to invest 146 million euros, 46% more than last year when he allocated 100 million, to the different initiatives carried out in the field of Entrepreneurship, Training, Sports Patronage and Entertainment , and which he channels through his Legacy Project.
In this way, one more year Juan Roig, with the shared objective with thousands of people of promoting change and transformation to achieve a more positive social impact in the Valencian Community and in Spain, has allocated the aforementioned amount from his personal assets to development of the Legacy Project.
His commitment to reinvesting an important part of his personal assets in society began more than a decade ago and is born from the conviction that “knowledge and money bring happiness… if you share them.”
In detail, the Juan Roig Legacy project is made up of different sustainable and solidarity projects, such as Marina de Empresas, an entrepreneurial ecosystem known as the business factory with a center for business training; the Trinidad Alfonso Foundation, which organizes and promotes sporting events and projects; the Valencia Basket Club; L’Alqueria del Basket, basketball training academy; and Licampa 1617 (Roig Arena), a multipurpose venue that will host sporting, cultural and entertainment events.
