An employment assistance programme in
the favelas of São Paulo is another example of how we actively
promote fairness and equal opportunity. The company’s human
resources professionals, voluntarily and in co-operation with those
of other organisations, provide youngsters with poor prospects
hands-on training and support in employment counselling, identifying
ways to move forward and ensuring professional and emotional back-up.
