Samarco will donate R$ 1 million towards the restoration and rehabilitation of the Radium Hotel in Guarapari, Espírito Santo. The letter of donation between the company and the Movimento Empresarial de Espírito Santo – ES em Ação was signed this Friday (July/1), during an event with the participation of government authorities. The initiative is part of Samarco's Institutional and Social Investment Policy, which identifies projects that generate value for the population of the municipalities that host the company. The action will help promote tourism, generate employment, income and economic development in the region, aspiring to be a center of innovation in tourism pursuant to an agreement entered into between the State Department of Development and Innovation and the Federal Institute of Espírito Santo.
"With the support of partners such as ES em Ação and Samarco, we made progress toward signing projects for the Restoration and Rehabilitation of Spaces, another bit of good news for the state residents. This is one more initiative that underlines the commitment of the State Government to development, innovation and the preservation of culture”, said the Secretary of State for Innovation and Development, Ricardo Pessanha.
The company participated in several discussions about this project, which is also aligned with the proposals arising from the debates within the scope of the Nossa Maior Riqueza Tourism Project and will enable improvements in the service to visitors and tourists, in addition to the preservation of natural beauties and cultural heritage.
“By looking after these aspects, we are not only working to increase the tourist flow, but also enhancing the quality of life of the people who live here. It is a company contribution that will bring gains to the region. The initiative is attuned to our purpose of doing mining differently”, emphasizes the director of Planning and Operations, Sérgio Mileipe, who participated in the ceremony with the Government of Espírito Santo.
Samarco's Voluntary Investment Policy demands the assessment of requirements such as meeting the needs of a large number of people on a relevant topic and contributing to the improvement of the community's life in an area of direct influence of the company.
