The culture of an organisation shapes its strength and its future

A cultura de uma organização define a sua força e o seu futuro

At Altri, a Group made up of different realities, we strengthen our identity through a shared purpose and the values that unite us: integrity, courage, simplicity and excellence.
To build a strong sense of belonging, we invest in leadership development, preparing our teams to inspire and to challenge.
We create moments of proximity and connection, bringing people and units together to reinforce cohesion. And we cultivate a strong culture of safety, promoting care and mutual responsibility.
At Altri, more than working together, we grow together. Because we are different, yet aligned in shaping a sustainable future.

All different, all aligned

A strong organisation is built on strategy and innovation, but it is through its values and purpose that its true character is defined. At Altri, we believe in the value of people — different in how they think, aligned in what drives them.

The “All Different, All Aligned” project was created to reinforce this identity, bringing to life the values that define us: integrity, courage, simplicity and excellence. It is not an event, nor a communication campaign. It is an ongoing commitment to connection, engagement and belonging — one that strengthens the Group’s culture and drives us to grow together.

Through initiatives like “The Altri Tour”, we turn values into action. Every kilometre covered, every challenge overcome, every insight shared is another step towards building a sustainable future, grounded in what truly unites us.

To be Altri is to follow unique paths, shaped by diverse perspectives, while moving forward together towards a shared purpose all different, all aligned.

Celebrating 20 years of the ALTRI Group, we reinforced the values that drive us – and showed what we’re made of

Over the course of 7 days, we cycled 1,520 km, passing through the sites where our industrial and forestry operations are based.

Internal and external collaborators from across the Group’s companies came together with Integrity, Excellence, Courage and Simplicity, contributing as a team towards a shared purpose. The kilometres covered will be converted into a participatory budget.

This initiative leaves us with one clear message: the values that drive us shape the road ahead, and those are Altri’s values!

And the winner was… “A day with…”

The “Altri Breakthrough” is a key annual event for the Altri Group, bringing together the Executive Committee and directors from across different areas and companies to discuss and plan the organisation’s future.

This gathering plays a crucial role in aligning the Group’s strategy and goals, while promoting collaboration and stronger connections among participants. It not only enables the exchange of ideas and the creation of new synergies, but also reinforces the company’s commitment to investing in human potential, preparing its leaders and teams for future challenges and laying the foundations for sustainable success.

During the event, key topics such as the organisation’s culture and values are addressed, essential pillars for team motivation and long-term achievement. Working group sessions encourage the proposal of projects aligned with Altri’s strategic priorities. A clear example of this was the launch of the “A Day With…” initiative, the most voted idea to come out of the 2023 Altri Breakthrough, designed to inspire and value people across the Group.

The first edition of “A Day With…” took place on 4 November 2024, with around 20 employees from different Group companies spending a day with Altri Florestal and the Furadouro Nurseries. The initiative achieved its goal by offering participants a broader perspective on operations, highlighting colleagues’ contributions, delivering a meaningful and enriching experience, and strengthening interpersonal bonds.

We look forward to everyone’s involvement in future editions, which will be rolled out across other companies in the Group, building closer connections and supporting the personal and professional development of our people.

Transformation through training: reflection on ALTRI’s ALP

In an increasingly dynamic and demanding business world, investing in continuous training is not just an option – it is a strategic necessity.

With the Altri Leadership Programe (ALP), Altri made a firm commitment to the future, a development journey that stood out for its vision and depth.

1. A programme tailored to the ALTRI Group
   • Altri’s commitment to the future was clearly demonstrated with the launch of the ALP, a development journey that stood out for both its vision and depth.
     Spanning over a year, the ALP involved more than 180 hours of training per cohort, complemented by individual coaching sessions in a holistic approach covering leadership, management and personal growth. Designed for first-line managers across the Group’s companies – Biotek, Caima, Altri and Altri Florestal – the programme aimed to strengthen core skills, align cultures and prepare teams to face future challenges.
     Tailoring was a cornerstone of the initiative. From the choice of location – Tomar, at Altri’s preference – to the design of engaging and motivating communications, every detail was carefully aligned with the company’s goals and needs. Training was structured around key thematic blocks addressing critical areas such as leading through transformation and achieving management excellence, culminating in coaching sessions delivered by a highly qualified team of professionals.
2. Impact on culture and the organisation
   • The ALP was more than a training programme – it was a catalyst for change. Through a comprehensive learning experience that included tools such as 360º feedback and personalised development plans, participants gained deeper self-awareness and strengthened essential leadership skills. The impact went beyond individuals – it resonated across the organisation, enhancing Altri’s ability to innovate, collaborate and remain competitive.
     Importantly, the initiative extended beyond the classroom. A robust communication plan and the active involvement of participants – from teaser campaigns to testimonial videos shared throughout the programme – helped turn the ALP into more than a course. It became a milestone in Altri’s transformation journey.
3. Investing in the future
   • It is important to highlight Altri’s significant investment in this programme – not only in financial terms, but also through its strong commitment to developing its teams. The ALP is a clear example of how a well-targeted investment can create better-prepared leaders, a more cohesive culture and a more resilient organisation.
     As this cycle comes to a close, Altri takes a crucial step towards the future, with its sights set on the Master Ideas Board – an initiative designed to consolidate and build on the progress achieved so far. This tool will play a key role in guiding the next phases of the organisation’s development.

ALTRI summer Academy

An immersive experience of growth and learning for young students.

The Altri Summer Academy has, over the years, become a true springboard for young students seeking a meaningful pre-professional experience. Created to bridge the gap between academia and the corporate world, this initiative has allowed participants to gain a close-up view of the operations across the Altri Group’s companies, contributing to both their personal and professional development. In the most recent edition, held in 2024, around 50 young people took part in an intensive, opportunity-filled experience. As tradition dictates, participants were given the chance to go on a field trip to learn more about our forestry operations and visit the Furadouro Nurseries — an annual activity that helps reinforce the importance of sustainability and forest stewardship.

This year, participants also had the chance to engage in one of the new additions to the Academy: practical workshops on the job market, where they learned how to prepare for interviews and craft impactful CVs. The sessions offered hands-on tips and boosted their confidence as they prepared to take their first steps into the professional world.

But the innovation didn’t stop there. Participants were also challenged to develop a Business Case in collaboration with their fellow Academy students, encouraging teamwork and strategic thinking around a defined theme. These projects were later presented to the industrial management teams, creating a direct link with the business and helping to foster innovation across our operations.

We hope future editions will continue to offer such meaningful and challenging moments, further empowering the next generation of talent. Through this initiative, the Altri Group reaffirms its commitment to valuing people, sharing knowledge, and supporting sustainable development, preparing future professionals for the challenges ahead.

By investing in this initiative, the Altri Group reaffirms its commitment to valuing people, sharing knowledge, and promoting sustainable development.

A culture of safety a shared commitment

At Altri, we believe that a strong safety culture is built on alignment, commitment and the engagement of the entire organisation.

Creating a safe environment goes beyond following rules and regulations — it means nurturing a collective mindset where every employee becomes a guardian of their own safety and that of others. With this purpose in mind, SafetyLab was created. A innovative programme that approaches safety from a different perspective: people-centred, cross-functional and rooted in communication.

Since its launch, the programme has gone through several stages, evolving from gradual awareness-raising to the active involvement of all levels of the organisation. The SafetyLab methodology is based on open communication, sharing experiences, gathering contributions and giving feedback.

This approach has helped identify challenges, anticipate risks and, most importantly, foster a genuine commitment to safety. Milestones are celebrated symbolically, reinforcing a sense of belonging and recognition.

At Altri, safety is not just a goal — it is a non-negotiable value. Excellence is measured by ZERO accidents, and each one of us plays a crucial role in this journey. Because a safe organisation is one that listens, learns and takes action — together, we’re building a safer future, where everyone returns home the same way they arrived.
