We hire, train, and support young people at risk of exclusion so that they can access decent, stable employment. We want to help these young people, who are interested in careers in electricity and electronics, build a dignified life plan that is in line with their dreams.
Objective: To become excellent professionals for a fair energy transition
As an employment integration company, we support partner companies in their talent acquisition and staff integration needs.
Energy efficiency represents one of the greatest opportunities for green jobs in Europe: it is estimated that it could generate more than 275,000 new jobs in Spain by 2030, especially in building renovation and efficient lighting. Promoting it with a social focus allows young people in vulnerable situations to train and work in a key sector for a more just and sustainable future.
We are Spain's leading manufacturer and installer of LED solutions and the first industrial company in the Community of Madrid to be classified as an Integration Company under Law 44/2007. We are committed to an economy that combines technological innovation with labor inclusion, demonstrating that industry can also have a social impact.

ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF THE PROJECT
Hispaled was founded in 2009 by a group of people linked to the Corazonistas Foundation, determined to transform opportunities into light and a future.
Rooted in the ACOINDRE network — Acogida, Inserción y Derechos (Reception, Integration, and Rights) — the project grew until, in 2018, it became an integration company that reflects the Corazonista values of community, trust, dignity, and hope.

THE IMPACT OF LIGHTNING FUTURES
We have a Theory of Change and a Social Impact Management and Measurement System developed in collaboration with the Chair of Social Impact at Comillas Pontifical University and the Repsol Foundation. Thanks to this collaboration, we measure and improve our real impact and its social value.
The system measures our contribution to these three SDGs:
Material Well-being:
By providing jobs, training, and personalized support to vulnerable young people, we will reduce their economic vulnerability and that of their families.
Quality Education – Self-Determination:
By establishing partnerships with social organizations, training centers, and related institutions, and providing personalized guidance and mentoring to support young people in their training journey, they will develop the technical and professional skills they need according to their initial educational level.
Decent work and economic growth – Emotional well-being:
If young people with little or no education work, train, and receive skills development with Hispaled, they will gain access to decent work.
