”la Caixa” Group: more than a century of value creation at the service of society
Committed to the present and future of people
”la Caixa” Foundation was born in 2014 as a result of the transformation of ”la Caixa”, with the goal of preserving its essence: the principles that drove the creation of Caja de Pensiones para la Vejez y de Ahorros de Cataluña y Baleares, ”la Caixa”, more than a century ago.
Since its origin in 1904, ”la Caixa” has been characterized by its clear social commitment and vocational work in favour of the general interest, both through its financial business and its welfare projects.
This commitment focuses on programmes with the greatest social impact, such as those that combat child poverty and social exclusion, that foster employment and help to improve the living conditions of the most vulnerable people.
