Caring for the internal community
For our People
We know that our strength is with the People who contribute every day to the success of our operations. Therefore, every year we develop a set of actions aimed at improving their quality of life and seeking to raise their personal and professional well-being.
We are a strong community
The focus is on our People and the search for progression, appreciation, and professional integration opportunities.
We want to create conditions for improving our employees' quality of life and personal and professional satisfaction. We believe that promoting their satisfaction, sense of unity, and well-being is the key factor in our success.
With this premise, actions are thought out and developed that aim to meet the needs of our internal community
Here are some examples of projects that we have developed with our teams in mind.
Benefits for social areas
In the fight against food waste, the social areas in the stores and warehouses made surplus food products available to their employees every day. These products can be consumed during working hours, allowing savings in food costs, and avoiding the waste of food in good consumption conditions.

employees
Donated items are considered surplus when they lose their commercial character but preserve all the necessary conditions for safe consumption, avoiding food waste in a circular economy logic. These include fresh products such as fruit, groceries, and bakery items, among other food items.
"We are Sonae" Programme
The "We are Sonae" Programme focuses on supporting the recovery from economic and/or social difficulty in areas such as the management of the family economy,financial and legal support, health, and education.
In 2021, the We are Sonae internal support line peaked in periods of higher vulnerability associated with Covid-19.
