“We will continue to turn ambition into action, while striving to make a meaningful impact today and tomorrow for everyone.”Legacy of a better tomorrow for all
Going forward, in today’s complex landscape, we must remain focused on future-proofing our companies through strategic initiatives and strong partnerships. We must continue determined, bold, and nimble to quickly adapt to the evolving risks, seize the surging trends and capture the opportunities that lie ahead. As we strive to create superior economic, social, and natural value, the leading positions of our businesses within their respective industries, coupled with our financial strength and unique culture, serve as strong foundations. We will continue to turn ambition into action, while striving to make a meaningful impact today and tomorrow for everyone.
It is a time not to give up and act promptly, to make increasingly bold decisions that take us out of our comfort zone. We have the power to influence the course of the future of our planet.
At Sonae we make it happen with the ambition and belief of the expected positive impact, and because it is the right way to do business: We do what is right. We are here to create today, the future we all want and need.
