Collective Initiative In 2021, our LGBTQIA+ affinity group started mapping the employability demands of Casa Florescer, a trans shelter located in the downtown area of São Paulo, supporting individuals in a state of vulnerability. In 2022, building upon this work, we organized practical activities, such as a resume workshop, interview tips, and discussions on job opportunities, with the support of 12 volunteers from various areas of the Bank and the guidance of an external consulting firm. Following that, we proceeded with an individualized professional mentorship program, with the supervision of a volunteer for a period of 3 months. Social product on Esfera For the first time, we have social project offerings through Esfera, our loyalty program. Customers can now redeem their points for donations on the platform. The first project available derives from a partnership with SDW (Sustainable Development and Water for All). The product being offered is Aqualuz, which currently stands as the only technology in the world that harnesses solar energy to purify water from cisterns. By acquiring this product, customers can make a meaningful contribution towards providing potable water to underprivileged families, starting at 500 points.
