Companies for Sustainability

" Collaboratively building an economy where competitiveness, environmental sustainability, and equality are truly compatible realities is the key challenge that the private and public sectors need to address in this decade."

"Putting sustainable development at the heart of business strategy has been one of the most significant developments of the last 20 years in leading companies. The Business Council for Sustainable Development (BCSD Portugal) has led this change, putting like-minded companies working together, sharing best practices and committing to improvement." 

"BCSD Portugal is a reference association in the promotion of sustainability in Portugal.
Agile, dynamic and proactive, BCSD Portugal is a relevant partner at the corporate sustainability level, driving its members on this journey, while contributing to the construction of robust public policies and raising awareness in Portuguese society."

"BCSD Portugal plays a central role in the commitment to a sustainable and transformative global agenda. An agenda that bets on an idea of economic growth in total interconnection with the defence of sustainability. A complex and challenging agenda, which Sonae places at the heart of its value proposition and activity with the ambition of cooperating towards the resolution of today's biggest and most urgent environmental and social challenges. An agenda that continues to create value for companies and for the country.

BSCD Portugal amplifies this decisive fight, which is shared by an ever-widening community."

"BCSD Portugal is a reference association in promoting the contribution of the corporate sector to Sustainable Development. In this space of joint reflection, knowledge sharing and co-creation, companies actively participate in a journey of true strategic transformation, anticipating and managing environmental and social risks, creating value for their business and for society."

“Os mais de 20 anos de parceria próxima, trabalho conjunto e propósito partilhado com o BCSD Portugal no âmbito da sustentabilidade, dão um sentido forte às palavras “cooperação” e “confiança”. Juntos, vamos continuar a trilhar um caminho transformador que nos permita promover modelos de desenvolvimento económico descarbonizados e resilientes, que fomentando a produção de riqueza e um novo “contrato social” justo e inclusivo, protegem o planeta, o clima e a biodiversidade”.

"In a critical decade for everyone, the business sector has a decisive role in the energy transition, acting as a driver of transformation in society. BCSD Portugal is the benchmark for companies that consider protecting the planet and having a positive impact on communities as success factors, and should be promoted by appropriate partnerships, public policies and legislation."

"With the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as its guiding principle, BCSD Portugal brings together companies, innovators and activists dedicated to shaping, building and democratizing a fairer and more inclusive future, making available to them a collaborative and formative platform with a view to innovating for sustainability and accelerating a regenerative and imperative transformation of society."
