With the start of another school year, Grupo Alves Bandeira is pleased to announce the launch of a new edition of the Albi Escolas project, a social responsibility initiative aimed at promoting education and the well-being of children and young people across the country. This project, created to support educational development and encourage sustainable and responsible practices, has already become a reference in the national educational landscape, impacting over 12,000 students and 150 schools last year, with more than 250 actions carried out across Portugal.

Albi Escolas offers a completely free program for schools and students, with the main goal of encouraging the adoption of responsible and sustainable practices, especially concerning road safety, recycling, and the circular economy.

The project reaches schools through playful educational activities, workshops, and interactive sessions that cover various areas of knowledge and practically and engagingly transmit values such as sustainability, respect for the environment, and community cooperation. More concretely, during each training session, children have the opportunity to learn about fuel colors, participate in various activities related to recycling and road safety, and discover environmentally sustainable ways to give new life to many products.

Each session lasts approximately one hour and is delivered by the Alves Bandeira Group's Training Academy, along with Albi, the company's mascot, who always brings gifts like school kits, the "Planet Guardian” certificate, and other surprises designed for the young participants.

"The success of the past year inspires us to continue expanding the reach of the project, with the ambition of involving even more students and schools over the next school year. We believe that through education and the promotion of essential values, it is possible to create a lasting impact on children's lives, preparing them to be the responsible citizens of tomorrow. The commitment to social and environmental responsibility is one of the pillars of Grupo Alves Bandeira, and the Albi Escolas project is one of the company's main initiatives in this area, which has already become a national benchmark," highlights Pedro Mascarenhas, Marketing Director of Grupo Alves Bandeira.
