World Environment Day was celebrated on June 5th, the main objective of which is to raise awareness in society about the importance of preserving natural resources, encouraging governments, companies and citizens to focus their efforts on pressing environmental issues.

In 2025, the theme chosen by the UN was “Combating Plastic Pollution”, aiming to raise awareness of the growing crisis caused by disposable plastics and microplastics, which affect ecosystems, biodiversity and human health.

With a corporate culture that integrates environmental protection into its daily practices, the Group mobilized teams from the most diverse sectors and markets to reinforce that combating pollution depends on small responsible choices made every day — on site, in the office, at home or on the street.

Multiple awareness-raising initiatives were promoted with the aim of reinforcing the importance of reducing, reusing and recycling plastics among employees. Teixeira Duarte – Engenharia e Construções has also joined the UN global campaign, registering its participation on the initiative’s official website.

Teixeira Duarte – Engenharia e Construções attended the “Defence Tech Meetup #3” event held on May 27th at the Auditorium of the Southern Region Engineers Association. Teixeira Duarte participated in the Defense Innovation Challenges Panel, as the Company is a co-promoter of the SHELTER project, together with the Instituto Superior Técnico, represented by Professor João Gomes Ferreira.

Designed to protect human life in the event of an earthquake, SHELTER has features that give it the potential to be used in the defense industry, and was therefore one of the innovations highlighted at this technical meeting.
