Engaged in positively impacting the communities located near Vallourec’s operational areas, the social projects of Mãos de Valor had some truly special activities over the past year. We had clothing drives, Solidarity Sewing, Letters to Santa Claus, Day V, Responsible Tax, and actions by the Volunteers of Knowledge.

For over 20 years, Mãos de Valor has brought together all of Vallourec Group's volunteer initiatives.

 

Through the program, Vallourec employees and dependents over the age of majority, interns, and third parties have the opportunity to exercise citizenship, solidarity, and involvement with communities.

And it’s not just numbers, each of these actions has meaning for both the beneficiaries and the volunteers. Those who know a lot about this are Luzianne, Thaíse, and Jhonnatan, some of our volunteers. Here’s what they share about their experience:


It’s so rewarding when we set aside some of our time to give and freely convey something to someone. That’s why I say: giving is good for the body and mind. May I be a means of transmission.” – Luzianne Ferreira, billing assistant.


With the Volunteering Program, I was in a school mentoring students on relational skills. An unparalleled opportunity for their development and, especially, for us as professionals and citizens.” – Thaíse Oliveira, environmental analyst.


Participating in this project was of great value to me, both professionally and personally. It made me realize how important the initiative is for the community and for the development of citizens.” – Jhonnatan Souza, control and management analyst.


I believe this program transforms lives and makes the communities where we are located better places.” – Leandro Figueira, area manager.
