What ORP Fundación Internacional does

Fundación Internacional ORP (FI ORP) is a Spanish non-profit foundation founded in 1999 and headquartered in Barcelona, with a stated mission of advancing occupational risk prevention and healthy-company culture globally. It operates under its proprietary 5Z Culture methodology — five pillars covering Zero accidents, Zero diseases, Zero waste, Zero inequalities, and Zero ignorance — supported by GRI and SDG frameworks, and materializes that methodology through the Sello 5Z (5Z Excellence Seal) certification issued after self-assessment and external audit. The foundation is best known for the ORP International Congress (now in its XXVI edition in 2026 in Argentina), complemented by the regional Lean ORP conference series, specialized symposia, and a high-volume program of jornadas (workshops/seminars); cumulative figures cited include 176,000+ attendees, 4,450+ registered papers, 25 international congresses, 18 Lean ORP conferences, 385 jornadas, and 11 symposia.

Its core products form an integrated ecosystem: the CER&PIE research center, the peer-reviewed ORP Journal, the Sabentis Academy digital training campus (launched with international university backing), Club ORP membership, the Premio Internacional ORP awards co-organized with the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, the Autonomous University of Chile, and Carver University, and the Sello 5Z certification. Named adopters and award recipients span healthcare (Hospital Universitario San Ignacio, Hospital Serena del Mar, Cruz Roja Española, Fundación Hospitalarias), government (Rama Judicial de Colombia), manufacturing (Tecnitanques, Stellantis España, ACCIONA), retail and consumer (MANGO, Grupo Nueva Pescanova, Grupo Alsea), energy (Repsol, Yara Colombia), financial services (Banco Davivienda), hospitality (IBEROSTAR), telecommunications (Nokia Colombia), and motorsport (MotoGP Sports Entertainment Group).

The business model is multi-stream and event-driven: paid registrations for international congresses, regional Lean ORP conferences, and symposia (with disclosed €100 administrative cancellation fees); recurring corporate membership subscriptions via Club ORP and committees; and professional services revenue from certified training programs (Sabentis Academy, UPC+ platform) and Sello 5Z organizational certification. Geographic reach is concentrated in Spain and Latin America, with offices in Barcelona, Santiago de Chile, Bogotá, and Buenos Aires, and global visibility through ISSA's Vision Zero partnership and the Vision Zero 2023 Award. The foundation has 22 employees and operates without disclosed parent companies, outside investment, or M&A activity.

Core offering

Fundación Internacional ORP is a non-profit foundation that promotes occupational risk prevention and healthy company culture worldwide through the 5Z Culture methodology (Zero accidents, Zero diseases, Zero waste, Zero inequalities, Zero ignorance) and its Sello 5Z Excellence Seal certification. It monetizes this mission via international congresses, Lean ORP regional conferences, certified training through Sabentis Academy and academic partners, the ORP Journal, Club ORP membership and the Premio Internacional ORP award program.

Product overview

ORP Fundación Internacional is a non-profit foundation that operates as a knowledge and event organization rather than a traditional software product company. Its core offerings center on the ORP International Congress — the leading global forum on occupational risk prevention — alongside the 5Z Culture methodology and certification program (Sello 5Z Excellence Seal), which helps organizations achieve a Healthy Company status through five zero-based pillars. The foundation also operates the Lean ORP regional conference series, the ORP Journal academic publication, Sabentis Academy for certified digital training, CER&PIE research center, Club ORP membership, and the Premio Internacional ORP award program. All offerings are linked to the field of occupational safety, health, and prevention, organized around events, certifications, and educational content rather than a unified software platform.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH): Chartered professional body for OSH with a global membership. IOSH delivers accredited training (e.g., Managing Safely) and policy advocacy, comparable to FI ORP's Sabentis Academy and 5Z certification offerings.
• American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP): Global professional society for OSH professionals offering certifications, standards committees, and an annual Safety Conference. Comparable to FI ORP's combination of professional recognition, certification, and large international events.
• International Social Security Association (ISSA): Global umbrella organization for OSH that awarded FI ORP the Vision Zero 2023 Award. ISSA operates international commissions, expert networks, and Vision Zero guidance that closely mirror FI ORP's standards-cooperation and congress-based model.
• National Safety Council (NSC): U.S. non-profit chartered to save lives through OSH leadership. NSC runs a major annual congress/expo, training programs, and advocacy work that directly parallel FI ORP's congress-and-certification operating model.
• American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA): International professional association for industrial hygienists and OSH practitioners. AIHA runs conferences, accredited training, and technical committees that mirror FI ORP's scientific committee and congress structure.

Broad incumbents

• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH): U.S. federal agency conducting OSH research and producing recommendations. Comparable to CER&PIE's research mandate, but with vastly greater resources and an explicit policy role that limits FI ORP's share-of-voice in global standards.
• European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA): EU agency providing research, campaigns (e.g., Healthy Workplaces), and policy guidance on OSH across member states. A publicly-funded incumbent that competes for the same European standards-influence and awareness that FI ORP addresses via its 5Z methodology.
• International Labour Organization (ILO): UN agency setting binding international labor and OSH conventions (e.g., C155, C187). ILO's authoritative standards framework directly informs the policy environment in which FI ORP's 5Z certification competes.

Regional players

• AEPSAL (Asociación Española de Prevención y Salud Laboral): Spanish professional association for workplace health and safety practitioners offering training, networking, and events. A regional competitor operating in FI ORP's home market with overlapping professional-development offerings.
• A+A Congress (organised by BDLI / Messe Düsseldorf): Germany-based flagship OSH trade fair and congress with global exhibitor pull. Operates in a different geography but competes for the same international exhibitor and attendee budget that FI ORP courts for its ORP International Congress.
