Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the driving force behind the contents of this yearly report, making this a transversal feature of the wholesale food market's management. 

​Around a hundred people, including professionals and university students, took part in the first Mercabarna Summer University. 

For the third successive year, Mercabarna sponsored the initiative "Fresh Fruit & Veg, 5-a-day", which this time ran for a full week, to accommodate more children from summer camps in Barcelona and the province.

From 2 to 6 July, the first edition of Mercabarna's Summer University will deal with sustainability and the agrifood chain. 

Mercabarna will play an especially important role, as it will lead the Conference of the World Union of Wholesale Markets and will participate in the Alimentaria fair.

​Mercabarna closes a year marked by the celebration of its 50^th anniversary and the recognition of everyone who has helped to build Catalonia's great pantry over the past half century.

The Association of the Mediterranean Chambers of Commerce and Industry (ASCAME) recognized Mercabarna's efforts in promoting the health benefits of consuming fresh food. 

On November 12, 2,000 professionals from the sector attended this event, where the latest tendencies in floral art were presented. 

The new graphics are adapted to the new tastes of the 9 and 10-year-old children taking part in the campaign.

It also received the recognition of the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce on the occasion of its 50th anniversary.
