Grifols collaborates with CRAM on a project to bring marine conservation closer to hospitalized children

Barcelona, June 1^st, 2026 – Grifols (MCE:GRF, MCE:GRF.P, NASDAQ:GRFS), a global healthcare company and leading producer of plasma-derived medicines, together with CRAM (Fundació per a la Conservació i Recuperació d'Animals Marins), has launched ‘A Sea of Hope’, an initiative aimed at bringing marine conservation closer to hospitalized children. The goal is to transform the hospital environment into a space for learning, participation, and a break from daily routines.

Through workshops led by CRAM professionals, the children become part of a marine rescue team, simulating the recovery of turtles affected by waste or the rescue of a dolphin through activities adapted to each group. In addition, the project aims to raise awareness among young participants about the impact of plastics in the ocean.

Vall d’Hebron and Sant Joan de Déu hospitals in Barcelona have hosted the initiative, in which nearly one hundred children have participated across a total of 36 workshops. The activities have taken place in different hospital areas, ranging from pediatrics to oncology, dialysis, mental health, and the intensive care unit. In spaces such as La Casa de Sofía, dedicated to children with rare diseases and complex chronic conditions, the initiative has helped foster learning in challenging environments.

CRAM has highlighted that “the workshops have created spaces for disconnection, learning, and motivation within the hospital environment, and the response from both participants and hospital professional teams has been excellent.”

They also emphasized that “thanks to the collaboration with Grifols, we have been able to carry out this initiative by adapting the activities to the needs of the different hospitals. We have reached children and adolescents in particularly sensitive situations and achieved a very positive impact both educationally and emotionally.”

‘A Sea of Hope’ is one of the initiatives the company promotes through its Grifols Social Initiatives (GSI) program. Over the past year, Grifols has collaborated with more than 20 social projects in the communities where it operates in Spain, such as Sant Cugat del Vallès, Parets del Vallès, and Barcelona.
