Community

Stronger communities are important to create a more sustainable society. Within the framework of our business, we aim to increase the resilience and autonomy of the communities in which we operate, contributing to the elimination of poverty in all its different forms.

The future is sustainable

Volunteering and patronage
In 2012 we created the Sonae Activshare internal volunteer program, through which we designed our actions as a way to bring our people and businesses closer to the communities where our resources are directed. Also, it is in our culture and our DNA to bring the benefits of progress and innovation to an increasing number of people, which is the main reason why Sonae is the patron of cultural, educational and social initiatives, centered on the themes of the Arts, Knowledge and Biodiversity.

Inequalities and inclusive development
Within the scope of the existing partnership with the Municipality of Porto in the Porto de Futuro project, Sonae has been sponsoring the Cerco Group of Schools since 2007. We have as main objectives the improvement of the school reputation, the reduction of early school leaving and the promotion of entrepreneurship and citizenship initiatives.

In the academic year 2019/2020 we impacted more than 1,000 students since the 1st cycle of basic education, secondary education and students from the Multideficiency Unit. We supported around 300 teachers and 20 operational assistants, as well as families on the poverty border.

Community Support
Community Suport, in na integrates and sustained manner, is a legacy of the Sonae culture.
