Fundación Cepsa

What Fundación Cepsa does

Fundación Moeve (formerly Fundación Cepsa) is a corporate foundation established in 2005 by Moeve, S.A. (the Spanish energy company formerly known as Cepsa, ultimately controlled by Mubadala) and registered in Spain's Registro de Fundaciones Estatales under number 1844. Operating from Madrid with a staff of approximately seven employees, it does not sell products or services commercially; instead, it functions as a grant-distributing, program-operating entity that channels Moeve's corporate social responsibility budget into three pillars: People (social welfare), Biodiversity (environmental protection), and Social Innovation (ecological transition).

Its "products" are award programs, university chairs, biodiversity projects, and a research observatory. Flagship offerings include the Premios al Valor Social (running since 2005, with 5,600+ project submissions and 512+ social entities supported for over 5.25 million euros cumulatively, reaching 105,000+ direct beneficiaries and 114,355+ in more recent counts), the Premios Fundación Moeve ecological-transition innovation competition (€120,000 per edition across three winners, with its third edition announced for 2026), three Cátedras universitarias at Universidad de Cádiz, Universidad de Huelva, and Universidad de La Laguna, and the Observatorio de Transición Justa think tank. Geographic operations span Huelva, Campo de Gibraltar, the Canary Islands, Madrid, Andalusia, Portugal, and Colombia, with the 2024 footprint allocating approximately 5.2 million euros and reaching more than 500,000 beneficiaries.

The foundation's business model is non-commercial: it is fully funded by its founder Moeve, with Mubadala as the ultimate financial backer, and it does not generate revenue, charge fees, or hold external investors. Distribution occurs through award cycles, university partnerships, volunteer mobilization of Moeve employees, and direct co-development of environmental and biodiversity projects with public institutions such as Cabildo de Tenerife, Junta de Andalucía, and various municipal governments.
