An initiative for SEAT S.A. and Volkswagen Group employees
During last year’s Healthy Week, there was a 41% increase in the number of participants. In addition, the number of workshops doubled, compared to 2021. This year, it is expected that the number of participants in the workshops and presentations will keep on increasing as has been the case in previous years.
