Youngsters grow Altri seeds The Centro de Reabilitação e Integração Torrejano (CRIT) {The Torres Novas Rehabilitation and Integration Centre} promotes vocational courses for youngsters with disabilities and difficulties with social integration, who have left school.

What does Altri do in the Circular Economy? Miguel Silva, Chief Financial Officer at Altri, addresses how the subject of the circular economy fits into the Paper and Pulp business, which has long been making use of various different by-products generated during the manufacturing process, and explains how Altri continues to seek applica ons for most of the waste produced.
Waste or raw materials? Cellulose fibre factories are an excellent example of the circular economy and sustainability concept. What would cellulose fibre production be without chemical and energy recovery? What about the discarded raw materials and energy, and high waste generation rate? Would it be sustainable? Of course not!
Women blaze the trail of equality at Altri Altri is a company which genuinely cares about and is committed to the principles of equal opportunities and ending discrimination - be it gender or any other type of discrimination - and which truly values the role of women in leadership positions. Altri regards diversity as a differentiating factor which contributes towards ensuring its decisions are balanced, and since they reflect all points of view, they are not only balanced but also sound. Now more than ever, it’s time to give women a voice!
135 years to go before women have the same rights as men Ensuring equality in decision-making, eliminating gender-based violence and closing the wage gap between men and women should no longer be an issue in any society in the 21st century. The world moves at different speeds and while in the European Union it will “only” take 60 years to achieve gender equality, the global average shows that this ideal is still far out of reach and will only become a reality in 2157, assuming there are no setbacks such as those caused by the pandemic.

Vila Velha de Ródão promotes sustainable development One of the local authority’s most important tasks is to promote sustainable development which respects the environment whilst contributing towards improving the quality of life and wellbeing of the town’s community.
