In recent months, Spain has experienced one of the most severe wildfire seasons of the past decade. Over 340,000 hectares have been burned, and thousands of people have been evacuated — highlighting the scale of this environmental and social emergency. These numbers reflect not only the environmental toll but also the human impact on local communities that have lost homes, infrastructure, and livelihoods.
Faced with this situation, at METRICA we wanted to take action and strengthen our social commitment by collaborating with the Spanish Red Cross through its Emergency Relief Fund (FAE). This mechanism is a key tool that enables a rapid and transparent response in times of crisis, ensuring that resources reach the most affected people quickly and efficiently.
What Does the Emergency Relief Fund (FAE) Do?
The FAE plays a vital role in responding to emergencies like the recent wildfires in Spain, as it:
-
Provides immediate assistance to communities in the first hours after a disaster.
-
Enables a rapid response without depending on prior fundraising campaigns.
-
Supports lesser-known crises that often receive little or no media coverage.
Through this collaboration, METRICA helps ensure that humanitarian aid arrives on time, reinforcing the Red Cross’s ability to deploy teams, equipment, and supplies to the affected areas.
Social Commitment as Part of METRICA’s DNA
At METRICA, we understand that our purpose goes beyond technology — it also includes our responsibility to society. We are committed to being close, flexible, proactive, and human, and this partnership with the Red Cross is a clear reflection of those values.
Supporting communities affected by wildfires is not only an act of solidarity but also an opportunity to put our commitment to the environment we live and work in into action.
A Transformation That Connects Technology and Humanity
We believe that true transformation happens when technological innovation is combined with social action. That’s why initiatives like this are part of our vision for the future — one in which organizations act responsibly and contribute to collective well-being.
At METRICA, we will continue driving projects that strengthen our commitment to people and the planet, because we are convinced that only by doing so can we build a fairer, more resilient, and more sustainable future.
