For BB Foundation, the relationship with partners plays a fundamental role in our strategy. We constantly seek to establish partnerships and mobilize resources, because we believe that the diversification of sources for social investment contributes to institutional sustainability and the expansion of social transformation in the country.
‍
BB Foundation values joint action with other third sector institutions, the public sector, private companies, international organizations and organized civil society as a way of joining efforts in meeting socioenvironmental demands. With this, we build a positive legacy for society, generating value for our partners, who act as promoters of social and sustainable development.

In 2022, in addition to our founder Banco do Brasil and Conglomerate companies, new partners believed in our work and invested in the programs and projects supported by BB Foundation. 

Adhering to BB's commitment to invest BRL 1 billion by 2030 through BB Foundation, the Conecta Fundação BB initiative was structured and launched in 2022, as a proposal for integrated mobilization for prospecting partnerships and the origination of socioenvironmental investments.  With the aim of expanding socioenvironmental investment in a sustainable way to strengthen the BB Foundation and its operating model, the business network was fundamental in boosting the generation of value for customers and society. Teams from the BB Foundation and from the BB customer relationship areas were involved and joined efforts in approaching the private and public sectors.

Proximity to private companies was a highlight in management, with a focus on expanding socioenvironmental investment and the positive impact on communities. The celebration of strategic partnerships adds efforts so that more and more people are served, in addition to strengthening the image of the brands involved, since they demonstrate their legitimate engagement with the socioenvironmental transformation of the country.
‍
Establishing partnerships is only possible because we have specialized teams that accompany all phases of the implementation of a social project, from its modeling to the evaluation of how effective the impact of the action was in that community. We have a robust structure that allows operational security to act in compliance with all legal spheres and the adoption of the best governance and accountability practices.
