Costa Verde, which is renowned for its social accountability, is proud to play an active role within various charitable initiatives. Over the years, the company has proven a constant commitment towards supporting various organisations and social initiatives. Recently, Costa Verde has extended this support to Associação Salvador, a non-profit organisation dedicated to improving the quality for people with mobility impairments in Portugal.
Associação Salvador, which was established back in 2003, has been playing a key role towards promoting social inclusion by supporting and developing projects aimed at the autonomy and accessibility for people with mobility impairments. The association carries out vital work by offering direct support services, such as the Transport Support Programme, Technical Assistance for purchasing mobility equipment and also by developing educational and awareness-raising initiatives. Furthermore, the association is dedicated to promoting labour market inclusion, by providing training and support to people with mobility impairments in order to promote their professional integration.
The importance of Associação Salvador is obvious, by being a key reference point for many citizens with motor disabilities, while providing resources, emotional and practical support, as well as fostering a more inclusive and mindful society. The organisation is thus a benchmark in Portugal when it comes to protecting the rights of disabled people, while decisively contributing towards mentality change and the creation of a more accessible country for all.
Costa Verde’s cooperation with Associação Salvador reflects the company’s ongoing commitment towards social issues. As part of its support, Costa Verde has made a porcelain donation, thus contributing to the association’s refurbishment of its facilities, while allowing it to improve the working and accommodation conditions for the people benefiting from the services provided by the organisation.
Costa Verde is deeply honoured to contribute towards the positive impact of Associação Salvador on the lives of people with mobility impairments, for which it reinforces its commitment towards ongoing support for this and other social projects, benefiting the community as a whole.
