Sustainability Report 2020

Pillars of Sustainability social programs We believe that by prioritizing children and sports we are helping create a better future. Therefore, we run permanent programs around the Tijucas manufacturing unit and support initiatives in these areas CRESCER PROGRAM The Crescer Program is a transforma- tional project in Tijucas that for more than 15 years has offered sporting and educational activities. Every year the program benefits around 200 chil- dren and teenagers aged 6 to 13, of which 30% are children of Portobello employees and 70% are from the lo- cal community. Of all participants, 90% are students at local public schools. The goal of the program is not only to encourage physical activity and de- velop motor skills, it is meant also to foster qualities that come from doing sports, such as responsibility, coope- ration and respect. The way this happens is by tea- ching social and educational sub- jects such as health, education, entrepreneurship and sustainability. The program also serves to prepare teenagers for the professional world, guiding them into Portobello's Young Trainee program. - Crescer is held in partnership with ADEC Sports Association of Cera- mics Companies in Tijucas and wi- th SESI Industrial Social Work. All participants get free fares, food, uni- forms and school supplies including the program schedule. Crescer did not take place in 2020 to prevent the spread of Covid-19. obello Activities of the Crescer Program in 2019 Portobello ESI P Sustainability Report 2020 64
