Ros described the partnership—its first with the group—as delivering strong social returns, aligned with the foundation's commitment to inclusion, accessibility, and sustainability. Rossell noted that the support overcomes a significant prior limitation, making it possible to bring more people with disabilities to the mountains and expand the association's annual programs.
