    HUMAN RESOURCES

    Comment

    At Cámara Badajoz, Human resources are seen as the main asset. The employees have a mul�disciplinary background, many ofthem with an university grade, leading to a widespread knowledge in economics, business administra�on, laws, documenta�onsciences, transporta�on engineering, environmental science, chemical engineering, compu�ng, tourism, audiovisualcommunica�on, educa�on and so forth.

    From 2018 to 2019 the total number of employees did not change, thus there were 5 new employees in 2019. What isremarkable is that 80% of the employees have a degree, all of them have a high school diploma.

    Most of the employees are between 30 and 50 years old and have an fixed-term contract. The number of work related injurieshas risen in 2019. What is no�ceable is that mostly women have a part-�me contract. One reason for that could be obliga�onsin childcare and family, so it is conceivable that the chambers offers possibili�es to combine work and family. To get furtherhints on this topic, an evalua�on of women coming back to work a�er pregnancy could be an indicator.

    ECONOMICS

    Comment

    Financial resources are provided by European funds and through private offers such as direct services to companies,administra�on management or compe��ve grants. A detailed list of the grants for the chamber can be found on the website.

    In 2019 the total revenues was higher than 2019. The EBIT did not significantly change in the two years. It seems that theorganisa�on has performed significantly be�er in 2019 since the EBITDA is posi�ve while in 2018 the value is nega�ve. Theamount of investments did slightly decrease in 2019.

    Due to its character as a Public Law Body the chamber does not have to generate massive profits which they can distribute totheir shareholders. In the end, the opera�on should preferably make no debts and earn enough money to run in the bestpossible way.

    ENVIROMENT

    Comment

    The chamber of commerce, industry and services of Badajoz only operates in offices, unlike for example the produc�onindustry. That also means that the impacts on environment are rela�vely low, compared with other branches. Mainenvironmental impacts are generated through the energy consump�on and travel ac�vity. The waste generated is mostly likethe one of normal households, mostly paper from the offices and packaging of meal, which indicates that there is no problemwith hazardous waste.

    In the two years, the environmental figures did not change very much. The energy consump�on and the Diesel consump�onslightly increased, this could be linked to the slightly be�er economic performance in 2019.

  • FINAL COMMENT

    Numerous developments in recent years have shown that sustainability is no longer seen as something nice to have, butthat serious commitment is required and desired. With the direc�ve on non-financial repor�ng, the EU has introduced anobliga�on for certain large companies, which is for sure also groundbreaking for the further development of sustainabilityrepor�ng. Sustainability reports are no longer just informa�on reports for analysts, but can be used to inform as manystakeholder groups as possible about a company's commitment in sustainability topics. This commitment is increasinglybeing recognized, whether in the financial sector, by the public or by customers.

    Bodies of the public laws such as the Cámara Badajoz can be a good example for communica�on of sustainability topics. Aschamber of commerce, industry and services, the organisa�on can a reference for the enterprises in the region, mo�va�ngthem to increase their efforts in sustainability and the repor�ng.

    The data gathering process showed which indicators were easy to fill and which not. It was not very surprising that socialindicators were rela�vely easy to fill, also indicators about suppliers and governance. As official body, transparency is key, sothe a lot of informa�on, for example about the governance, was available and is also communicated on the homepage. Thegovernance of the chamber did not change in the two years. No�ceable is the low number of women in the Board ofDirectors, because the rela�on of genders for the employees is rather balanced, there are even more women than man. Amore representa�ve picture of this situa�on in the Board of Directors would be desirable.

    The mission of the chamber is to support companies in the region, so social engagement is already anchored in the purposeof the organisa�on. Not only for the region the chamber seems to aim for a posi�ve development, also for its employees.Most of the employees do have a permanent contract and the rela�on of gender is balanced. The educa�onal backgroundseems to be very high, since 80% of the employees have a degree.

    The chamber is very engaged in the region and has expanded their social engagement in 2019 with higher numbers andamounts of sponsorship and dona�ons. It is also very engaged in projects which are aiming to support their customers andul�mately promote the region.

    The customers, which are the companies, organisa�ons and entrepreneurs in the region seem to be very sa�sfied sincethere were no complaints or disputes nor were products returned. This could be seen as an indicator for the customerorienta�on of the company.

    The supply chain of the organisa�on is very local, with suppliers mostly from the region. It seems that regional and smallerbusinesses are supported, most suppliers are a sole proprietorship.

    Economic-wise the total revenues, the EBIT and other economic values such as net assets and net income did not changevery much throughout the two years, a slight be�er performance is no�ceable in 2019. Significant increases in 2019 are inthe EBITDA, the gross value added and the net financial posi�on. Most of the gross value is added to collec�vity.

    The environmental values did not change very much and are o�en probably not very expressive, but this is fullyunderstandable since the chamber only operates in offices, which means that environmental impacts are rela�vely small.Improvements could be made with energy saving measures, the switch to a renewable energy supplier if possible, a papersaving measures through a prin�ng policy or the use of public transporta�on instead of travel by car.

    This report shows that Cámara Badajoz has room for improvements in their sustainability performance, but they arealready performing very good in their main fields of ac�on. Especially their social engagement can be emphasized, as wellas their indirect contribu�on to the regional economy.

  • METHODOLOGICAL NOTE

    Originally, this Erasmus+ project was planned to be a mobility were the the student has the opportunity to visit the companyand conduct the data gathering and the report in a 12 day mobility. Due to the outbreak of Covid-19 and the globalpandemic, the mobility part was cancelled and the project was carried out virtually. This led to several changes in theorganisa�on, the student was not able to get direct insights into the organisa�on, all mee�ngs were on Skype and thecommunica�on was mainly via Mail.

    For the data gathering process, a table with all the indicators was set and the organisa�on tried to fill out as much aspossible. Where no exact values could be found but an educated guess was possible, this methodology was applied.Indicator which were not available are marked. The two years that were examined are 2018 and 2019.

    The main task of the student was the project management and the data transmission into a program which was provided bythe PMIR Project Team. With the help of this program, the final report could be generated, but only if the threshold ofminimum 60% of indicators per category was reached.

    ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

    First of all I would like to thank Francisco Cerrato, who was my contact person at Cámara Badajoz for his �me andengagement, the support with the data and necessary informa�on. The communica�on was always very posi�ve andtarget-oriented.

    I also want to thank the PMIR Project Team which was always available and very suppor�ve and understanding.
