We make a difference in society

The aim of the positive social impact programme is to help organisations that provide social support in areas such as diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), the fight against poverty, social exclusion and access to health, among others. An approach we have developed through various actions and initiatives, involving employees and their families.

Leaders Gang

As partners of Entrepreneurial Minds, Leaders Gang, a project that aims to develop essential life skills in young adults, we have provided real training and inspirational moments.

Oeiras Community Valley (OCV)

We recently established a partnership with OCV, a project that facilitates a link between companies and the municipality, through social responsibility actions that are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals. We are thus part of this program that works as an innovative networking platform that promotes and streamlines collaboration between organizations from various sectors that are based in the Oeiras, municipality of our new headquarters.

Próxima Geração (Next generation)

We are Próxima Geração partners, the first non-partisan academy in Portugal.

This academy is a dynamic program with practical learning formats, designed to reinforce the role of young Portuguese people of different origins and ideologies, as actors in democracy. In its 3rd edition, this program features team exercises and conversations between current and future leaders of Portuguese and European politics.

Christmas Action 2024 – This Year, We Want to Crescer-Bem (Grow Well)

The Christmas festivities at novobanco begin with the usual selection of a solidarity initiative by the employees. The chosen action was the "Farmácia Solidária“(Solidarity Pharmacy) project by the Crescer-Bem Association, which supports families with children up to 18 years old, in situations of social vulnerability. The IPSS operates from the Dona Estefânia Hospital and focuses its activities on supporting children and their families, both inside and outside the hospital environment. Donations from employees and the bank make it possible to acquire medications and other essential goods.This year, the Christmas campaign also has an external aspect. Bank followers on social media can contribute through their reactions. For every like on a post, the bank donates 1€.

Quality of Life Initiative

As patrons of the Salvador Association, we have been associated with this project since its first year. Over 15 years this initiative has supported 587 people with reduced mobility with more than €1.7 million in aid.

 

In 2022, we collected a total of approximately 130,000 euros to be invested in three categories - home improvements, training and employment and adapted sports equipment. In this way, we have been able to support 36 people with reduced mobility, 13 of whom are in the training and employment category, who we have been supporting since 2021.

Humanitarian aid to Turkey and Syria

The earthquakes in Turkey and Syria left millions of people homeless and displaced, as well as causing thousands of injured. This is an event to which we could not remain indifferent, so we made a donation of €100 M to AMI, CARE, UNICEF and the Red Cross.

 

The choice of these organisations was based on an assessment of the programmes on the ground and the national and international recognition of these institutions, ensuring that our support reaches the people in both Turkey and Syria promptly.

Humanitarian aid to Morocco and Libya

The earthquake in Morocco and the floods in Libya have left millions of people homeless and displaced, as well as causing an ever-increasing number of victims. These are events to which we could not remain indifferent, so we made a donation of 50,000 euros to the UNICEF Emergency Fund and the Red Cross' "Morocco Needs You" campaign.

 

The choice of these organisations was based on an evaluation of the programmes on the ground and the national and international recognition of these institutions, ensuring that our support reaches the population promptly.

Acreditar (Believe)

We believe that funding one of the rooms in the Acreditar de Lisboa house will improve the quality of life of children and their families when they have to leave their homes for cancer treatment in Lisbon. It is an important gesture that provides better conditions during this delicate period of the child's treatment.
