Mel Acolhe offers guidance and legal, psychological, socio-assistance and medical care to women in vulnerable situations. The service is confidential and without any type of interference from the Company, only from specialists. With this project, the Company aims that all employees who need help find the appropriate guidance and feel supported.
Espaçolaser Abraça Project. Espaçolaser Abraça is a project for social inclusion and welcoming people with intellectual disabilities. With attention, affection and adequate training, the Company offers qualification for the insertion of these new professionals in the job market, training qualified people to integrate the teams of the Company’s units and to serve the public. Students are selected with the help of the Jô Clemente Institute, formerly APAE-SP, a pioneer organization in Brazil in promoting the health of people with intellectual disabilities, supporting their social inclusion, defending their rights and producing and disseminating knowledge. In partnership with UDiversidade, the Company created the training course in customer service aimed at people with intellectual disabilities. After a two-month program, students receive a diploma and can be hired by one of the Company’s units. In addition, training is offered to current employees and partners to receive the Company’s new professionals.

The Company’s purpose with this pact is to contribute to the empowerment of women and to promote gender equality in all social and economic activities. As an example, within the Company’s staff, of the 5,000 employees, 96% are female, with 93% occupying management positions, including 50% C-Level positions.
