[ACA] PORTO RIO OPERATION ORGANISES FOOD COLLECTION

September 19, 2023

The "Corporate Gymkhana" exceeded all expectations.

The partner involved in the Rio de Janeiro port project organised an initiative called "Corporate Gymkhana" to raise awareness of occupational safety and the environment. At the heart of this action were the following four objectives: promoting interaction between employees, caring for others and social responsibility, stimulating social action and trying to encourage the donation of food. The "Sports Gymkhana" was divided into four stages: 1st - Knowledge test on topics such as health and safety at work; 2nd - Food collection; 3rd - Simulation of an accident at work and respective response to the event; 4th - Prize draw (a free lunch).

The more than 500kg of food raised was distributed to three organisations: the Paraplegic Club, the Mercês Education Network and the Mercedarian Sisters.
