Barcelona and PIMEC have entered a three-year collaboration agreement.
Barcelona and the Confederation of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises of Catalonia (PIMEC) have signed a collaboration agreement for the next three seasons, aiming to jointly identify, study, and analyze possibilities for cooperation among their members. This partnership, based on shared values, seeks to leverage synergies between the club and the business association to advance their respective strategic projects. The agreement was formalized on Friday, March 8, with a meeting at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys ahead of the match against Mallorca, attended by Joan Laporta, president of FC Barcelona, Elena Fort, vice president of FC Barcelona, Miquel Camps, FC Barcelona Board member and deputy president of PIMEC, and Antoni Cañete, president of PIMEC. Following the agreement signing, the club president presented the official jersey for the 2023-24 season to his counterpart in the business association.
Through this collaboration, FC Barcelona and PIMEC will promote initiatives and activities related to fostering diversity and inclusion, as well as advocating for values such as equality and non-discrimination. This includes efforts in information dissemination, training, and capacity building on relevant topics related to labor relations or corporate social responsibility, along with excellence in management and economic sustainability, and initiatives concerning digital transformation and the possibility of extending the range of products and services offered by both entities, among others.

We highly value this partnership with the aim of establishing synergies, reinforcing social and economic development in our environment.”
