Joining national flood relief efforts in Brazil

09 Jul 2024

When heavy rains during April and May 2024 caused widespread flooding across the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, the impacts were devastating. Lives were lost, hundreds of towns were submerged and over 500,000 people were forced out of their homes, which also threatened the stability of the local economy.

As the country rallied in solidarity with those affected, our branches in Osasco (Controle Analítico) and Barueri joined forces with the national post office to offer essential support. Our colleagues at both locations banded together to collect non-perishable food, water, and clothing, which the national post office delivered to those in need via boat.

In addition, our teams in Brazil set up a separate internal taskforce to raise money for colleagues who had been directly impacted by the floods.

At a time when many people had lost everything, initiatives like these provided those affected with not just hope, but a means of survival.
