Our aim is to achieve personal autonomy and the full inclusion of blind persons or persons with other disabilities under the principle of equal opportunities. We do this by creating a guaranteeing and sustainable model, a leader in social economy, which proves, every day, that inclusion is profitable, economically and socially.
We want persons with disabilities to be generators of their own opportunities as players and not merely observers.
Equals is the strong idea of the ONCE Social Group, with which it identifies its purpose, its raison d'être in its day-to-day work and the expression that sums up the attitude of those who make it up.
Equals are those persons with or without disabilities, who become equal when they realise that they can have the same opportunities at work, at school, on the street, at home, when they travel, when they browse the internet, when they use public services, when they access culture, when they undertake, when they design and create, when they practice sports, when they do routine tasks, when they move around... When they have equal opportunities.
This essence brought to the purpose of what we do brings us here, to be present in the day-to-day life of society, and will take us into the future.
The aim is to build a much fairer and more responsible future, leaving no one behind, so that disability does not in itself constitute a cause of discrimination. If we can achieve this, everyone, regardless of their status, will be able to have equal opportunities in all areas of life and have equal and fair access to work, education or services on equal terms. To achieve this, the ONCE Social Group focuses on four essential areas: training, employment, social work and accessibility.
The values that drive us
The ONCE Social Group conveys its brand strength and attitude through a set of values: transparency, solidarity, confidentiality, fairness, commitment, integrity, humility, respect, innovation, responsibility and sustainability.
In addition, there are a number of attributes that help to build the Group's identity. This is reflected through the Oncelio colours, the isotype and visual representation of everything that the ONCE Social Group represents.
