How:

14 women representing major companies will participate on 27, 28 and 29 September in a regatta around the Atlantic Islands, accompanied by a group of Olympic and ocean sailors led by Kahena Kunze, Olympic champion in Rio de Janeiro 2016. The participants will spend 48 hours together on two sailboats, working as a team and keeping watch at night. This is a pioneering initiative that organises meetings on healthy habits among different companies through the women who represent them. The first edition of this initiative, which took place in June 2018 with a Valencia-Ibiza-Valencia journey, was classified as an “Event of exceptional public interest” by the Government, through the Higher Sports Council, within the Universo Mujer programme.

Why:

Quirónprevención is the leading international company in the occupational health and safety sector with more than 5,000 employees, 165,000 client companies and more than 4.5 million protected workers. In Spain, it features a network of 300 centres that allows it to provide coverage throughout the country. It is also present in 7 other countries with its own subsidiaries and provides consulting services in more than 25 countries. It not only promotes preventive culture within organisations, but also in society in general, because it believes that a preventive attitude should go beyond the workplace.

Thus, in this second #DesafíoOlaSalud, fourteen women became champions of healthy habits while representing their companies: MAPFRE, Altran, Cajamar Caja Rural, La Voz de Galicia, ADM WILD Valencia, Reganosa, Saica Pack, Seguros SANTALUCÍA, Saint-Gobain, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Constantia Tobepal, Loramendi, ABANCA and Orange. Olympic sailors Iago López-Marra and Diego Botín (Rio 2016 Olympic Games), Diego Fructuoso (TEAM TELEFÓNICA Volvo Ocean Race 2011-2012) and Kahena Kunze, Rio de Janeiro 2016 Olympic champion and head of this expedition, accompanied these brave women on an unforgettable adventure.
