The Illustrious Official College of Geologists of Catalonia has recognized the work of the CEO of LITOCLEAN.
The Carmina Virgili Award is a recognition given by the Official College of Geologists of Catalonia to a geology professional who is considered to have developed a remarkable task throughout his or her career or an activity with a significant impact on the profession. In the sixth edition, the winner was Begoña Mundó, CEO of LITOCLEAN.
The award ceremony highlighted Mundó’s extensive work in the field of soil investigation and remediation at the head of LITOCLEAN for more than 20 years, making it a national and international benchmark in this sector. The award winner expressed her gratitude for the recognition and stated that one of her greatest achievements is to have employed dozens of geologists, since “48% of LITOCLEAN’s staff are geology professionals”.
Mundó emphasized her goal of promoting female talent in scientific environments such as hers: “as a woman and as a geologist I know that the road is not easy. We have to bet on them, we cannot miss out on half of the talent”.
The award, named after an outstanding geologist and scientist, Carmina Virgili, means holding the title of geologist of the year until the next winner is announced at the end of 2021.
