ECOLOGICAL TRAIL

We believe in broad and sustainable development, which always aims for economic, social and environmental balance. That's why we opened the Eurofarma Ecological Trail at our Itapevi Unit.  

With a total length of 1,600 meters, the trail is located in an Atlantic Forest preservation area, with several native species of fauna and flora.   

The environment is divided into three trails of moderate difficulty: Trilha das Figueiras, Trilha das Orquídeas and Trilha das Bromélias. The trail is open for employees to visit and can also be taken on a virtual tour.

ROOTS PROGRAM

The Itapevi Complex preservation area inspired a different way of honoring employees with a long relationship with Eurofarma who, upon completing 15 years of work at the company, receive the invitation to plant a native tree. Each seedling receives a plaque with the name of the honored professional, date of admission, indication of the species planted and the date of planting. Since 2007, this initiative has been a way of thanking our team for their commitment. Click here to learn more.

 

ORGANIC MANAGEMENT GARDEN

With a project that combines sustainability, environmental education and health, the company built in a space of 1,000 m2, at the Itapevi Unit and 250 m² in Ribeirão Preto, an Organic Garden, where vegetables are being grown in a sustainable way and without the use of of pesticides.  

More than 80 thousand vegetables were produced without pesticides and sent to employees, exchanging them for recyclable materials brought from home. These resources are also passed on to the local cooperative.  

The beds were built with ecological bricks and a drip irrigation system, so the vegetables develop without competition from invasive herbs and biodiversity helps prevent insects from becoming pests and pollinators from doing their job.  

Our employees can exchange recyclable material for vegetables.
