Every little helps, and every action contributes to building a more sustainable and caring future. We would therefore like to highlight the ‘Toneladas de Ajuda’ campaign, a charitable initiative that combines recycling with social responsibility, through which it was possible last year to allocate around 120,000 euros to charitable organisations in the form of financial contributions for recyclable materials delivered to Valorminho and Resulima. These funds have had a positive impact on the 23 organisations that took part in the campaign. The ‘Toneladas de Ajuda’ campaign is aimed at social and non-profit organisations in Portugal and is available within the areas covered by Valorminho and Resulima.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, VALORMINHO conducted a stakeholder consultation by sending out digital questionnaires, with the aim of monitoring customers’ perceptions regarding the extent to which their needs and expectations were being met. This assessment covered Municipal Councils, Parish Councils, SIGRE customers, Product and Service customers, and Door-to-Door Selective Collection customers (Horeca / Retail and Services), enabling the collection of valuable feedback on various aspects of the services provided.

Assessment highlights systems with the best performance in the selective collection of cardboard packaging for liquid foods (ECAL). Resulima and Valorminho, companies responsible for the Sorting, Selective Collection, Recovery and Treatment of Solid Urban Waste System in 12 municipalities in Alto Minho, Vale do Lima and Baixo Cávado, were recognised in the “Best Performance. More Recycling" competition, promoted by Tetra Pak in partnership with Sociedade Ponto Verde, for their performance in recycling liquid food packaging (generically referred to as beverage cartons).

Selective collection maintains positive trend and energy produced from waste exceeds 500 GWh. EGF, the leader in urban waste treatment and recovery in Portugal, recorded significant progress in its main operational indicators in 2025, particularly in the treatment and recovery of biowaste and selective collection, reinforcing its commitment to environmental sustainability, innovation and operational efficiency.

The fourth edition of Safety Global Stand Down took place today across the Mota-Engil Group. This global halt in operations aimed to reinforce the fight against accidents, promoting a Global Safety Break dedicated to reflection and awareness of safety standards and good practices at work.
