OUR SPHERE OF ACTION
The Foundation operates in areas that are key to consolidating its firm transformative commitment: culture, education, and society. Social entrepreneurship is the fourth and major area of action which expresses the Foundation’s raison d’être, achieving the objective of influencing and improving society through its own Invisible Beauty program.
CULTURE
Set of values, attitudes, beliefs and customs that are learned, shared and transmitted by the members of a society and that are the drivers of social transformation and change.
Culture broadens the mind
Culture plays a key role in the evolution and development of societies, in social cohesion and integration of people, wherever they live and wherever they come from. Through culture, society conveys its aspirations and concerns.
Being immersed in cultural projects is one of the Foundation’s fundamental objectives. As a result, the Foundation has always had a close relationship with leading cultural institutions, developing musical and artistic projects to attract new talent.

SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Social entrepreneurship encompasses projects from many fields with a common goal: finding solutions to social and environmental inequalities. Social entrepreneurship is often associated with the concepts of the social and solidarity economy and innovation.
INVISIBLE BEAUTY
In 2014, the Puig Foundation took on the challenge of becoming a benchmark for social and sustainable commitment. In response to this, the Invisible Beauty project was launched, promoting initiatives with a huge social impact which allow Puig employees who wish to do so to channel their concerns through the projects selected annually.
In partnership with a leading player in the third sector, Ashoka, the Puig Foundation took its first steps toward giving Puig a more socially committed approach. Invisible Beauty is a project that supports entrepreneurial excellence in those who are already carrying out innovative social initiatives with a high impact on society, and promotes the talent of people who are committed to their environment.
The Foundation is dedicated to finding and promoting talent, but also to developing empathetic leadership capable of promoting positive changes in society.
