IBERSOL Sustainability Report 2018

Social Performance Supporting physical activity is a tradition within the Ibersol group. This can be seen in the partnership with Escola de Futebol Pauleta, where in 2018, it once again brought together 1,097 pupils, donating 1,320 meals. It should be remembered that Escola de Futebol Pauleta was inaugurated on 4th September 2004 by the Portuguese former player (Pauleta) who was born in the Azores archipelago. Possessing a natural gift as a striker, combined with skilful two-footed ball work, he played an impressive aerial game, drawing crowds, especially chil- dren, to whom he now dedicates his time and experience, having retired from the fields. In 2018, our support to Escola de Futebol Pauleta started in March with the 1st “Convívio Nacional de Traquinas”, which involved 140 stu- dents to whom the Group offered meals. In May that year, the same number of pupils were involved in two actions: 12th Pizza/Burger Tournament and the Ibersol Sponsor Day. The largest number of participants, around 350, was when the Iber- sol group supported the 6th Edition of the Pauleta Azores Soccer Cup U13, at the beginning of June. After a very lively session, full of physical activity and healthy competition, the pupils from Escola de Futebol Pauleta had the chance of enjoying meals from the Ibersol brands. In November, the group sponsored the purchase of 52 T-shirts for soccer and 25 T-shirts for 77 students from Clube Escola o Liceu, some of whom belong to the girl’s football team, who took part in the São Silvestre run. 88
