En el Grupo TPF hemos decidido distribuir un 5% de nuestros beneficios netos a organizaciones que velen por el bienestar de la infancia (alimentación, educación, seguridad…). 2015 es el primer año de puesta en marcha de esta iniciativa, basándonos en los resultados de 2014. Estamos especialmente orgullosos de haber conseguido el acuerdo de los accionistas minoritarios de las filiales de TPF distribuidas en el mundo entero. La selección de estas organizaciones ha requerido la puesta en marcha de comités en los distintos países, implicando a todo el personal de la companía.

Asociación Junior Achievement – Recife

Volunteers help and prepare young people for the real world by showing them how to generate wealth and effectively manage it, how to create jobs which make their communities more robust, and how to apply entrepreneurial thinking to the workplace.

Help for children and adolescents in the community of Gesteria (Barra Longa locality, Mina Gerais State).
This year, we helped children and adolescents in the community of Gesteira, a community particularly affected by the dam catastrophe of the mining company Samarco in 2015. Teenagers were studying or helping their parents on livestock or agricultural farms, but after the accident, a lot of them started taking drugs and children began to experience learning difficulties in school because their families lost everything: their house, livelihoods, social and cultural ties. Given their situation, TPF organized several events helping them to overcome trauma, to find self-esteem and, in the case of young people, to benefit from training leading the way to the labour market.
A first event was organized on the occasion of Children’s Day, celebrated in Brazil on October 12th. On the program: fun activities, workshops and a play, in association with the Osquindô Club and the active participation of local schools, parents and an NGO. A Christmas party was also organized in the same spirit.
