Driving the Basque language

Danobatgroup has been raising special awareness about the Basque language and culture since its origins. Danobatgroup takes part in different initiatives which are pursued in the municipalities where its workshops are located, and also promotes such initiatives. Danobatgroup is currently setting Basque language plans in motion with a view to intensifying its use, encouraging the motivation of its workers and increasing their knowledge of it.

The cooperatives of Danobatgroup have committed to the Quality Certificate Bikain, Basque language Quality Certificate for language management to measure the use of Basque in the cooperatives. Danobatgroup, Soraluce, Latz, Goimek and Ideko have already obtained the silver BIKAIN certificate, and Danobat the gold certificate.

Evidence of this is the co-responsibility that they feel for Basque within their social commitment and the steps that they have taken over the last 20 years with the aim of increasing the use of Basque.
