Project
Endavant, an impulse to our local province
Endavant is Villarreal CF’s sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme. Through this corporate brand, the club and its Foundation promote the province of Castellón through a wide range of cultural, sporting, educational and tourism-related initiatives.
The club launched this project more than two decades ago with the firm intention of contributing to the development of its local community and strengthening its social involvement and commitment beyond sport.
Villarreal CF are recognised as a model club for their sporting management and economic efficiency, having been one of the first clubs to operate without public subsidies, demonstrating their social involvement and commitment beyond football.
The club promotes its colours and strengthens the bond with its supporters through activities connected to the Yellow Submarine and by supporting its fan groups, both nationally and internationally. Likewise, the organisation promotes tourism throughout the province through numerous initiatives.
Since 2004, Villarreal have sponsored clubs and athletes from across the province in order to encourage the growth and development of sport in Castellón. The club also demonstrates its commitment to supporting charitable causes by providing financial and social support to countless non-governmental organisations (NGOs), institutions and associations across the region.
Another area to which the organisation pays special attention is children. Villarreal have their own children’s club, Club Groguet, whose main objective is to instil values such as sport, health and equality. This commitment to the future also includes an important agreement with universities across the province to promote education, research, knowledge sharing and innovation in sport, while also providing scholarships to athletes.
Promoting the culture of Castellón is another of the pillars of the Endavant programme. Villarreal CF have become a proud ambassador of the province’s identity and its most representative towns and villages, with the aim of promoting tourism in Castellón and boosting social and cultural activity, one of the key drivers of the local economy.
Villarreal CF are also committed to the principle of sustainability. The club implements various measures aimed at protecting the environment and ensuring the conservation of its natural surroundings.
