At Banco Luso Brasileiro (BLB), we believe that the responsibility of a financial institution goes far beyond banking operations. Our commitment is to build a better future for society, investing in initiatives that promote social well-being, inclusion and sustainable development in Brazil.We work on several fronts, encouraging projects that have a positive impact on people’s lives and strengthening the principles of ethics and transparency that guide our history.
The social context in Brazil
Brazil is a country of challenges and opportunities. With a diverse population and a constantly evolving economy, the role of companies in promoting a fairer and more balanced environment is becoming increasingly important. Banks like BLB have a responsibility to go beyond finance and act as agents of social transformation. We seek to positively impact communities and sectors that are fundamental to the country’s development.Our pillars of social responsibility
BLB has structured its social responsibility policy around fundamental pillars, covering initiatives aimed at social inclusion, culture, education, sports and health. These pillars reflect our mission to support projects and institutions that have a positive and lasting impact on society.Social Inclusion
We believe that social inclusion is essential for the development of a fairer country. Among the initiatives we support is the Iteva Project, which promotes the inclusion of the elderly in the job market and academic environment, combating social exclusion and encouraging the appreciation of experience and life.Cultural and Sporting Initiatives
Access to culture and sport is a fundamental right, which is why we support projects that bring knowledge, leisure and entertainment to the population. Among our main supported initiatives are:- Teatro UOL: a dynamic cultural space that promotes theatrical, musical and dance performances, strengthening the Brazilian cultural scene.
- Book “Relíquias do Brasil”: a work that celebrates the diversity and richness
- Esporte Clube Pinheiros Athletics: a program that encourages the development of high-performance athletes, contributing to the formation of champions and the spread of sport in the country.
Health and Well-being
We believe that health should be a priority in any society. That’s why we support renowned institutions that work in medical care and research, such as:- Pequeno Príncipe Hospital: a national reference in pediatric care, guaranteeing specialized care for children and adolescents.
- Hospital do Amor: an institution that stands out in the humanized treatment of cancer and in cancer research, benefiting thousands of patients across the country.
