COMMUNITY CONNECTION

Supporting local projects is an essential part of our identity. Learn about some of the initiatives we collaborate with:

Solar Meninos de Luz is a philanthropic civil organization that promotes comprehensive education, culture, sports, vocational support, basic health care and social assistance for the most vulnerable families in the Pavão-Pavãozinho and Cantagalo communities, located between Copacabana and Ipanema.
All proceeds from ticket sales for charity shows and from the sale of the pajamas we produce go to the NGO.

Chef Aprendiz: is a human development project through culinary education, aimed at young people aged 17 to 24 in situations of social vulnerability. Participants attend theoretical and practical classes on cooking techniques, gastronomy, sustainability and personal development, with partners sharing their knowledge. In a final competition, the judges offer job opportunities to young people who want to start a career in the kitchen.

With the NGO Reffetorio Gastromotiva, we maintain an active partnership with Gastromotiva’s social restaurant. At lunch, the initiative offers a complete menu at an affordable price with starter, main course, dessert and drink. In the evening, the same menu is served free of charge at a Solidarity Dinner for people in vulnerable situations.

TUCCA: (Association for Children and Adolescents with Cancer), in São Paulo, brings renowned chefs together with families to share cooking techniques, promoting togetherness and well-being. Led by our chef Vivi Gonçalves, we offer cooking workshops, using the kitchen as a tool for learning and transformation.

Orientavida trains, employs and generates income for socially vulnerable women through sewing and crafts. It creates, produces and sells sustainable and upcycled products, impacting families, the economy and the environment. In partnership with the NGO, we turn towels that would be discarded into slippers and teddy bears, giving new meaning to what would be thrown away. This initiative not only helps minimize the environmental impact of textile waste but also has a great social impact by supporting and training the women involved in production.

In São Paulo, the NGO Ecopatas and in Rio, the NGO RioEcoPets share the mission of promoting environmental sustainability and social responsibility through work that combines recycling and the protection of abandoned animals. We separate the plastic caps from the products we use, and the NGOs’ volunteers sort them and send them to companies specialized in this material. The proceeds are converted into food, medicine and neutering for pets.
