Banco do Brasil Foundation, established by Banco do Brasil in 1985, is the main executor of the social investment of the BB Conglomerate. We have contributed, for almost four decades, to the social transformation of Brazilian people and to the sustainable development of the country. 

BB Foundation is the Social Heart of Banco do Brasil!

It is a heart that represents life, sensitivity, solidarity, strength and connection of purposes. That beats at the frequency of the needs of people in vulnerable situation and mobilizes partnerships in social investment to increasingly expand the inclusion of those who need it most.

In 2022, the Social Investment carried out by BB Foundation was BRL 149.3 million, in 256 supported projects, reaching more than 1 thousand Brazilian municipalities. From north to south of Brazil, 1.7 million people were served during the period.

Considering the last 10 years (2013-2022), there were BRL 2.6 billion in socioenvironmental investment, directed to more than 10,000 initiatives that have already served 6.6 million people. Approximately 2,700 Brazilian municipalities were covered in all states of Brazil and in the Federal District.

With the purpose of valuing lives in order to transform realities, BB Foundation is based on values such as social sensitivity and respect for diversity, principles of governance and integrity, consolidating itself as a reference in the third sector.

We have the following structured programs: Social Technology (transversal axis of action), Education for the Future, Environment and Income, Health and Wellness (created in 2022), Volunteering and Humanitarian Aid. They cover the entire Brazilian territory and are leveraged by the mobilization of partnerships with the private, public and third sectors, which drive the positive impact on communities.

Social Technologies – ST, innovative solutions to socioenvironmental challenges, are connected to actions and projects and, since 2001, we have played the role of certifying more than 600 initiatives that encourage the dissemination of the theme and the reapplication of recognized methodologies.

BB Foundation's activities are aligned with the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria, the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations (UN) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

And so, with the protagonism and specialization of the teams, in line with Banco do Brasil's commitments to sustainability, we work day by day to generate value for customers and society. 

The 2022 Activities Report of Banco do Brasil Foundation, in addition to being an important instrument of transparency and accountability to our founder, investors and strategic partners, control bodies and society in general, is a recognition of the work of BB Foundation, Banco do Brasil Conglomerate’s  employees and to all those who collaborate with the transformation of the reality of millions of Brazilians. 

For 2023, we continue together for the social development of our people.

Have good reading!
