We seek to encourage generosity among our employees, strengthening the construction of a large network based on empathy, collaboration and proactivity in favor of causes that deserve our attention, such as the fight against hunger and the fight against cancer.
Another way to stimulate citizen awareness and engaged with the needs of the real world has our students as protagonists. Through access to a range of volunteer actions and programs, they represent the Facens University Center actively participating in improvements and inspiring changing scenarios in society.
Seeking to also reach stakeholders, we promote actions that stimulate debates, exchanges and inspirations on the ESG agenda, which we consider fundamental for advances in the market and in society.
Empresas do Bem is a project created by the Alexandre and Heloisa Beldi Institute (IAHB), with the purpose of promoting generosity within companies in the Sorocaba region and the engagement of its employees from an online platform, which connects citizens to local social organizations that work in different socio-environmental causes.
At the Facens University Center, we are part of this movement and seek to encourage a culture of donation with our employees and community.
In 2022, some of our collaborators became ambassadors (volunteers) and influenced their colleagues and families to participate in this movement. In that year alone, the union of the Facens University Center with other partner companies in the Empresas do Bem program resulted in the collection of R$191,647.30, of which R$42,732.00 came from Facens collaborators.
These funds were allocated to three main campaigns:
In Brazil, those who file a complete Income Tax return can allocate up to 6% of the amount owed to initiatives that promote inclusion and opportunities in the areas of health, education, sports, and culture.
The Pescar Project connects knowledge and attitudes to transform lives. The Social Innovation Laboratory (LIS), in partnership with Emerson company, promotes opportunities for students at the Facens University Center to have the experience of sharing knowledge, teaching young people in situations of social vulnerability, from 16 to 19 years old, and participating in a process of transformation through education!
In the 2022 edition, eight students from the Facens University Center volunteered to teach classes on Occupational Health and Safety, Basic Informatics, and Applied Mathematics to 12 adolescents included in the project.
The Facens University Center, with its Usina Cultural Facens space, promoted the event focusing on the expansion of socio-environmental awareness and the contextualization of the ESG concept, through practical examples of companies and organizations that implemented this concept in their strategy.
The event featured panels that brought together representatives of the civil society organizations Plant-for-the-Planet and Refúgio 343, representatives of Splice and Facens University Center, and representatives of the companies Flex and Symrise.
During the event, open to the entire community, the public had the opportunity to interact with questions and share experiences in order to increase Environmental, Social and Governance awareness.
