ACTIVITIES
Through ‘Camino Sostenible,’ Correos promotes the 2030 Agenda, encouraging healthy lifestyles and raising awareness of the natural heritage of the Camino de Santiago (Saint James’ Way). Three illustrated guides have been published, helping pilgrims identify key species of trees, birds, and tales along the way.
In line with the Sustainable Development Goals, Correos has created materials promoting sustainable daily habits. Post offices, hostels, tourist offices, and local businesses spread messages on local trade, recycling, interculturalism, and responsible parcel shipping. Specific actions include distributing reusable cloth bags on International Plastic Bag Free Day and organising cleaning days on the Camino de Santiago.
The initiative has had a very positive impact. Various media outlets have published more than 200 news items about the campaign. Five thousand pilgrims received one of the illustrated guides for free and 110 local councils have joined in by spreading their messages in hundreds of local businesses.
