We join hands with actions that transform lives

Bem Verde Ambiental has partnered with the Santa Cabrini Foundation, which is responsible for promoting the reintegration of people serving sentences in Rio de Janeiro.

Through professional requalification, the company provides employment and new opportunities to those in a semi-open regime - especially women.

Benefits include the possibility of sentence reduction, health plans for workers and their school-enrolled children, and most importantly: social reintegration and a new purpose in life.
