We realise how demanding our business is and believe that happier people are more productive. As such, we are increasingly committed to initiatives that promote well-being, a good working environment and flexible ways of working both globally and locally.
Irrespective of our roles or location, we all spend most of our days at work, which makes us eager to promote a workplace environment that is pleasant and that makes people feel comfortable and happy to come to work every day. Regardless of a person’s role or place of work, a large part of the day is spent carrying out a professional activity. It is therefore essential to ensure pleasant, comfortable working environments.

In Portugal, we were also recognised by the Internal Communication Observatory for our communication campaign for mental health, which aimed to fight the stigma of mental illness and raise awareness among employees about existing support services.
