IBERSOL | 2019 Sustainability Report

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2019 The ADD HOPE project is part of Ibersol Angola’s Social Responsibil- ity strategy which, over the years, has carried out important initia- tives supporting the community. Therefore, the brands invited their customers to donate a minimum sum of AOA 50 to Cáritas, as they believe it is possible to build a better world. Cáritas is involved in the following areas: reinforcing institutional ca- pacity, health (especially on HIV-AIDS and mother and infant health); literacy and vocational training; agriculture (prioritising rural areas). It should be noted that Ibersol Angola has supported Caritas Angola since 2012. As part of this collaboration, several projects have been im- plemented to improve the quality of life of the most vulnerable fami- lies in the country’s poorest communities. Raising Awareness for the Integration of People with Disabilities With regard to the integration of people with disabilities, Ibersol es- tablished several partnerships with different associations, in particu- lar Associação Salvador, the Porto Cerebral Palsy Association, the Portuguese Association for the Disabled and the Gaia Vocational Re- habilitation Centre. Under these partnerships, visits were carried out with technical staff and beneficiaries to the various Ibersol Group units so they could see the workplace firsthand and the responsibili- ties the different jobs entail, for referral to and integration into the Ibersol Group. 87
