The mission and values of Teixeira Duarte particularly the “Commitment” value, reflect the Company’s concern for Social Responsibility. This is also reinforced by the principles and rules laid down in the Code of Ethics and Conduct, which particularly applies to human capital, and by the sustainability vision and model that restates the intention of contributing to the development of communities.
The certification of the Social Responsibility Management System, obtained during the year 2009, appears, therefore, as a natural corollary of these practices, demonstrating compliance with the reference standard requirements in this matter, the SA 8000. In this regard, it is suggested that you also consult the Performance Report of Teixeira Duarte – Engenharia e Construções, S.A. under Social Responsibility.
Within the scope of support for social projects and social charity organisations, it should be noted that Teixeira Duarte – Engenharia e Construções, S. A. has intended to adopt an institutionalised position through initiatives that are neither exclusive nor centralised in decisions by the Board of Directors, but rather involve all of its employees in direct actions.
Todos Doamos
It was with this aim that Teixeira Duarte adopted, in 2015, the “TODOS DOAMOS” Programme, a project prepared by the Teixeira Group for all its companies, which establishes the possibility for them to reinforce the support that their employees intend to provide to projects and institutions of social solidarity that help people.
Employees can choose to support institutions with financial donations and/or by donating time (volunteering).
In 2023, 35 institutions were supported in 5 countries. The total financial donations given was €48,602 and volunteering summed 38 days.
Institutions wishing to appear on the database of the TODOS DOAMOS programme, to raise awareness of them among Teixeira Duarte Group company employees and to facilitate their identification during any support processes, may submit their data on the form available here.
Dar Vida
In Angola, where the percentage of voluntary blood donations is quite low, Teixeira Duarte identified that many of its employees are directly or indirectly faced with a potential unavailability of blood at some point in their lives. Therefore, in 2019, the Company launched a social responsibility programme aimed at encouraging regular voluntary blood donation among employees, making them aware of the importance of voluntary blood donation and providing them with the conditions for effective donation, through technical partnerships with institutions such as the National Blood Institute and the Sagrada Esperança Clinic.
Since then, the programme has been adopted by several companies of the Teixeira Duarte Group in Angola and extended to Mozambique, with employees donating blood to help save the lives of about 1,400 people.
