As part of the Votorantim group’s initiatives - Banco Votorantim is committed to social responsibility and the sustainable development of Brazil. The Bank is constantly seeking ways to better integrate its businesses, social development and environmental concerns.

This commitment can be seen every day through our support of Associação Viver em Família para um Futuro Melhor.

Jardim Colombo (a neighborhood located South of Sao Paulo) is the initial focus, where it provides:

- Access to basic resources (healthcare, education)
- Career education and training (young adults and adults)
- Childcare
