GRU AIRPORT'S SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY 
The Sustainability area of GRU Airport is structured in two axes: Strategic Management and Community Development.

STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT
Strategic management is about diagnosing and proposing good sustainability practices that can be incorporated in the value chain, with the objetive of reducing the impact on the environment and society. Social projects come from understanding of the airport's role in neighboring communities, having contributing to the local socioeconomic development as a key structuring factor.    

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Community Development derives from the understanding of the role of the company in the surroundings of the airport, having as a structuring factor the contribution to the local socioeconomic development. On this second front, social projects and the relationship with the community stand out.

TURNING THE FUTURE WITH ART
The Project Tuning the Future with Art is a socio-educational initiative, carried out in the airport site for children and teenagers who live around the airport. On a daily basis, before or after regular school hours, students have music, IT, robotics, hardware, remedial lessons, English classes, and ethics and citizenship, as well as sports workshops. The project also offers social assistance with home visitation. Project activities have been temporarily suspended because of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

DONATE BASIC FOOD PARCEL 
Reinforcing the social commitment to social responsibility, in April 2020, the beginning of the pandemic, the concessionaire started an action to donate basic food parcel to supply the residents of the communities located around the airport. Kits include food and personal hygiene items.
Between 2020 and 2021, the concessionaire carried out 13 editions of the campaign for the donation of basic food parcel and distributed more than 58 thousand tons of products to supply the residents of the communities located around the airport.

BLOOD DONATION CAMPAIGN
In 2021, GRU Airport started the Blood Donation campaign to encourage employees, the airport community and passengers to participate in this act. The initiative takes into account the problem of supplying blood banks at blood centers and the difficulty of moving donors to a collection center. Donating blood is a gesture of love, sustainability and an opportunity to help others.
