Social responsibility through dialogue
As we expand our Company with new industrial units in the interior of the state of Mato Grosso, we actively drive positive social impacts across all the regions where we operate. The creation of direct and indirect employment opportunities strengthens the local economy, unlocking social and economic development for local communities.
In 2021, we initiated the structuring of FS’s social strategy, rooted in active dialogue and continuous listening with local stakeholders. This process directly guided the creation of our Social Investment Policy, designed to address the specific needs and aspirations of local communities, particularly the ones surrounding our industrial units.
The goal was to align these demands with our corporate identity, purpose, and expertise, promoting initiatives aimed at generating shared value for both society and our business. Based on this work, we defined our main action pillars.
Our Strategy
To foster social development, we focus our efforts on three pillars:
Promoting community development through education, training, and sharing knowledge. We support initiatives that expand access to learning, strengthen agribusiness awareness, and contribute to preparing professionals for labor market challenges and the region’s sustainable development.
Acting to strengthen employability and foster opportunities for economic development in the communities where we operate. Through professional training, strategic partnerships, and support for local initiatives, we contribute to generating income, strengthening businesses, and building a more prosperous and sustainable ecosystem.
Contributing to the well-being of communities by supporting initiatives that promote health, culture, sports, and leisure. We also allocate tax incentives to fund high-impact social projects and to strengthen local institutions, expanding community access to opportunities that foster human development and improve overall quality of life.
