Yátova (Valencia), Wednesday, June 10, 2026 – CYCLUS Group has donated 500 olive trees to contribute to the environmental restoration of Finca Mijares in Yátova, further strengthening its commitment to sustainability, environmental protection, and social development in rural areas.
This initiative forms part of the Valencian construction group’s ESG strategy. With more than 65 years of experience, the company continues to support projects that generate a positive environmental and social impact in the communities where it operates.
The planting is part of a broader intervention aimed at restoring an area of the Sierra de Martés that was severely affected by the recent DANA storm and recovering its agricultural, environmental, and social value. In this context, CYCLUS Group, which maintains close ties to the La Hoya de Buñol region through its owner, Francisco Javier Luján, a native of Yátova, has chosen to actively contribute to the restoration of the Mediterranean landscape and to promote a sustainable model that combines rural development, environmental conservation, and economic revitalization.
“From an environmental perspective, these 500 olive trees will help increase carbon capture capacity, improve water retention in the soil—thereby reducing the risk of flooding—and contribute to landscape restoration through native species adapted to the Mediterranean ecosystem. In addition, the project will have a significant social impact: people with disabilities linked to the Campus Diversia initiative will participate in the planting, maintenance, and future harvesting of the olive trees, generating stable employment and practical training opportunities,” explains Raquel Morales, Sustainability and ESG Manager at CYCLUS Group.
The olive tree planting is part of the initiatives promoted by Campus Diversia, a project led by the Amica Foundation and designed as a benchmark space for social inclusion, employment, and environmental education. Located between Yátova and Buñol, the Campus promotes a model that combines environmental conservation with socio-labor training, creating opportunities for people with disabilities and those in vulnerable situations.
In this regard, Amica’s General Manager, María José Cabo, highlights: “Campus Diversia is not only an employment project; it is also a space that fosters inclusion and sustainability in rural areas. Thanks to organizations such as CYCLUS Group, which help sustain jobs while restoring and protecting our natural environment, we can continue advancing a development model that creates opportunities, strengthens rural communities, and demonstrates that collaboration between businesses and local territories can translate into a positive and lasting impact.”
A tribute rooted in family heritage and a milestone in the development of the Campus
The initiative also carries a particularly meaningful and emotional significance. The plantation has been named “Isabel Gimeno Garden” in tribute to Francisco Javier Luján’s mother, honoring her legacy while reinforcing the connection between the project, family heritage, and commitment to the local community.
Last Saturday, the estate hosted a commemorative event attended by the Luján family, representatives of the Amica Foundation, and public authorities, including Luis Gomis, General Director for Natural and Animal Environment of the Valencian Regional Government, and Pepa Gimeno, First Deputy Mayor of Yátova. The gathering was both intimate and symbolic.
This initiative reflects CYCLUS Group’s commitment to fostering collaboration between business and society, in line with its core values of sustainability and inclusion.
