UMUSIC SHOP COMMITS TO WORKPLACE INCLUSION TOGETHER WITH FUNDACIÓN JUAN XXIII

Madrid, August 27, 2025 – UMusic Shop, the physical store from UMusic Hotels, which blends music, fashion, culture, and experiences in the heart of Madrid, has launched with a strong commitment to social inclusion. As part of its opening at UMusic Hotel Madrid, the store has partnered with Fundación Juan XXIII, an organization that has spent more than 55 years working toward the social and workplace inclusion of people at risk of psychosocial vulnerability, particularly those with intellectual disabilities and/or mental illness. Together, they have produced 15,000 shopping bags through the Foundation’s Packaging division, reinforcing the value of inclusive employment. 

This collaboration underscores the importance of working with inclusive suppliers while showcasing the talent and professionalism of people with intellectual disabilities and others facing social vulnerability. 

A pioneering space connecting music, culture, and social impact 

UMusic Shop is more than a retail space. It is a cultural and experiential format that brings music closer to fans through vinyl, limited editions, artist collaborations, private listening sessions, and exclusive launches. Its alliance with Fundación Juan XXIII strengthens the store’s mission to be a living, sustainable, and purposeful space where music coexists with social and community values.

“At UMusic Shop, we want every project to create real impact in the community. This collaboration with Fundación Juan XXIII is the first step in a long-term commitment that will unite culture, innovation, and social inclusion,” the UMusic Shop team noted. 

From the Foundation’s perspective, these types of agreements are essential in showing that workplace inclusion is both possible and transformative, helping to break stigmas and create real opportunities in competitive environments. 

Venancio Viñas, director of Fundación Juan XXIII’s Packaging division, adds: “Collaborations like the one with UMusic Hotels prove that workplace inclusion is possible, necessary, and valuable. When a company commits to creating social impact, it directly improves people’s lives and helps transform the productive fabric. We are grateful to UMusic Hotels for placing their trust in Fundación Juan XXIII and in the value of purposeful collaboration.”
