Engaging With Society

icon3

We want, through the GPA Institute, to prove transformation in society, strengthening the social call of our brands and establishing closer and more virtuous relationships among society, partners, customers, employees and associated institutions.

Two pillars support our cause: learning life as a whole and food in the base of everything. Based on these concepts, we work on two axis: offering opportunities for awakening work by vocation and encouraging social mobilization actions.

Developing a healthy eating and sustainable chain of production

We support the development of inclusive production models focused on healthy eating, facilitating the access of producers to the markets and training those interested in organic farming techniques. On this front, Pão de Açúcar is the brand linked to the GPA Institute for promoting initiatives, implementing some projects such as Conexsus Challenge, which maps, diagnoses bottlenecks and selects organizations working in value-producing chains with the potential for scale-growth, and Business Through Earth, which identifies companies that would like to buy products from these sustainable businesses for connecting both and creating business opportunities.
