Solidarity transport for a fairer world

We collaborate with Debra – Butterfly Skin, managing the collection and delivery of parcels between the charity shops that this NGO operates across the country. These shops raise funds to support the medical, psychological, social, and research needs of both patients and their families and caregivers.

Butterfly skin, or epidermolysis bullosa, is a rare and currently incurable genetic disease that causes extreme skin fragility. People living with this condition must bandage their bodies almost daily, undergo painful treatments that can last several hours, and live with wounds and blisters caused by even the slightest friction.

In line with SDGs 3 and 17.

We put our expertise and logistics capabilities at the service of the social inclusion projects that the Red Cross carries out across the country.

Among them, the “Educational Toy” project stands out, with a history of more than 30 years supporting children in vulnerable situations. In the latest edition, more than 57,000 families were assisted, promoting values-based education and healthy play.

GLS also contributes through solidarity transport actions in emergency situations, further strengthening its commitment to more humane and supportive logistics, capable of generating a positive impact on society.

We join the “Chocolatada Solidaria” project in celebrating chocolate events across Spain. The goal is to raise funds for the Sant Joan de Déu Hospital, which uses them for research and the improvement of treatments for childhood cancer. We assist in the shipment and distribution of all the necessary materials, as well as the merchandising needed to organize the Chocolate Events.

We take part in the traditional event organized by 3Cat, which raises millions of euros each year for research on a specific disease. In the 2025 edition, donations totaling over €9.7 million were received to support cancer research and raise awareness about the importance of prevention, screenings, and early detection.

The GLS Agency 726 in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelona), with the support of GLS and other local agencies, collaborates in transporting the educational materials for La Marató.

In addition, GLS is also present at the event, handling calls and ensuring the collection of donations from the thousands of individuals who contribute personally to La Marató.

We sponsor one of the twelve months of the year in the Talita Foundation’s solidarity calendar. This non-profit organization creates the calendar with the aim of raising funds to improve the quality of life of people with intellectual disabilities and special educational needs.

GLS collaborates by providing free shipping of the calendars, a tool for building a more equal and inclusive future that offers opportunities for children and young people with intellectual disabilities to receive education in mainstream schools.

In line with SDGs 10 and 17.

The Real Three Wise Men never miss their annual tradition: making the wishes written in letters by children and elderly people in need come true. At GLS, we help bring the magic of this initiative to life by delivering to foundations, care homes, and orphanages more than 20,000 gifts donated by those who sponsor these disadvantaged groups.

In addition, GLS employees also join the initiative individually, participating as helpers in the purchase of gifts.

In line with SDGs 10 and 17.

From 2022 to 2024, we collaborated with the 29miradas photographic exhibition, which raised awareness by showcasing the situation of women in Afghanistan. The project featured the work of about thirty photography professionals and had a strong artistic component that amplified its message of protest against the abolition of the most fundamental rights.

We contributed to SDGs 5 and 17.

From 2016 to 2024, we collaborated with the non-profit organization Spanish Mastocytosis Foundation (FEM) by collecting plastic bottle caps in agencies and branches across the country. We collected and transported the caps to the recycling plant for processing. In this way, we have supported research and palliative care for this rare disease, contributing to SDGs 3 and 17.

In 2023, we joined the major food drive for the Madrid Food Bank. Employees from the city’s main centers contributed basic non-perishable food items for the most vulnerable groups. In 2024, the provision of logistical materials for the collection and storage of products was another small step in the fight against food poverty.
