What is solidarity team building?
Solidarity team building is an activity that promotes teamwork , strengthens communication between people in an organization and above all has a positive social or environmental impact.
Benefits of doing solidarity team building
♥️ Strengthening team cohesion and collaboration: Working together for a social or charitable cause, away from the daily work pressure, fosters team spirit, communication, and trust among members.
🔝 Improving corporate image and social responsibility (CSR): Charitable team building reinforces the company’s image as an entity committed to the social environment and the natural world.
🤝 Increasing motivation and sense of belonging : These activities provide a more human and enriching perspective on work, making employees proud to be part of a committed company.

Inspiring examples of solidarity team building
Below, we share some inspiring examples of companies that have carried out team building activities with social and environmental impact.
♻️ With 40 volunteers, native species were planted in an area of 1.25 hectares to offset the carbon footprint.
In this way, reforestation and the restoration of natural spaces were promoted while the participants got closer to nature and could contribute their bit.
The first Bankinter Solidarity Team Building Days in 2025 brought together the Quality and Digital Security teams with the A La Par Foundation, participating in inclusive workshops and sports with people with intellectual disabilities.
Reforestation is one of the activities that most help biodiversity
Team building focused on social responsibility with an environmental impact
Finally, we propose actions we can take to ensure that the solidarity team building activity generates an environmental impact in our surroundings:
🏖 It fosters collaboration and teamwork while contributing to environmental conservation and biodiversity preservation.
🎯 The goal is clear: to leave a much cleaner area. Whether it’s a beach, a forest, or a river, if we manage to collect all the trash, we’ll surely achieve a sense of collective accomplishment.
🧑🍳 It fosters creativity and collaboration in the efficient use of food. Participants learn sustainability practices that can be applied at home or at work.
🎯 The goal is to reduce food waste. We educate employees on practical techniques (using stems, peels, parts of vegetables that are usually thrown away, optimizing leftovers) so they are more resource-conscious.
