WEACCESS: La carrera hacia la Inclusión

Nos adentramos en una conversación que va mucho más allá de logística y transporte: hablamos de inclusión, accesibilidad y de cómo una experiencia personal puede detonar un movimiento con impacto social como lo es WEACCESS de WEPORT. Nuestra host, Sofía Rivas, conversa con Ricardo Rochman, CEO de WEPORT, quien además de liderar esta gran empresa de freight forwarding, decidió abrir un nuevo capítulo con WEACCESS; una iniciativa que busca transformar vidas a través de la movilidad incluyente. Ricardo nos comparte cómo, en una carrera deportiva, un encuentro fortuito con un corredor en silla de ruedas lo llevó a reflexionar sobre privilegios, obstáculos invisibles y la necesidad urgente de generar conciencia. De esa chispa nació WEACCESS, con el objetivo de donar al menos 100 sillas de ruedas especializadas. ¡Este episodio es una invitación para unirte al movimiento! Aprende a ver la logísticadesde otra perspectiva; no solo es mover carga, sino también una forma de mover personas, de abrir caminos y derribar barreras. ¿Quieres conocer más sobre WEACCESS?
