Commitment to the future
On the social front, the company joined the Movement for Racial Equity (MOVER), whose main goal is to train black people to hold at least 10,000 leadership positions by 2030. For the same year, the company intends to occupy 50% of leadership positions in technology with women.
Through the One Million Opportunity (1MiO) project, they intend to hire more than 7,000 young people in vulnerable situations. In addition, the company wants to expand existing projects, such as Americanas na Favela, which provides professional training for more than one million residents of seven communities in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.
When it comes to education, Americanas S.A. contributes to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) for combating school dropouts and promoting the menstrual dignity of students in vulnerable situations.
Incentive to technology
The Annual Report also brings goals to generate thousands of opportunities stimulating education in technology. One of the proposed programs is the training of at least 5,000 women in technology across the country. However, there is still no further information on how this will be done.
In addition, the company defined five of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are related to the proposed goals and its ESG strategy, namely:
- SDG 4 (Quality education);
- SDG 5 (Gender Equality);
- SDG 8 (Decent work and economic growth);
- SDG 10 (Reduce inequalities);
- SDG 13 (Climate Action) which promotes mitigation of the impacts of climate change.
