Alagoinhas celebrates giving back

To celebrate the festive period, colleagues from our production facility in Alagoinhas, Brazil wanted to show their gratitude to their communities and the organisations with whom they had partnered during the year. The team delivered hampers to the Coral Cooperative’s hard-working waste pickers to help make their festive family meals that extra bit special.  Our partnership with the Coral Cooperative is a longstanding one; collaborations have included initiatives such as AMP-sponsored street races, selective collection of recyclable materials, participation in the ‘Pimp My Carroça’ project and provision of educational talks on the environment and the circular economy, among other activities.

The Alagoinhas team also organised a fundraising campaign to purchase and donate 80 futsal balls – futsal is a fast-paced, indoor form of soccer – for students at the Murilo Coelho Cavalcanti Educational Center, a regional municipal school in the Ardagh for Education programme. The footballs were delivered at the end of the school year and were enthusiastically received by students and staff alike. The school now has more resources for practical classes and can better encourage students to play sports.
