On World Recycling Day, celebrated on May 17th, we remember that every gesture counts and every choice matters. Therefore, we highlight the "Tons of Help" campaign, a solidarity initiative that combines recycling with social responsibility, through which it was possible to allocate more than €8,000 to social solidarity institutions last year, in the form of financial compensation for recyclable material delivered for recycling. These funds positively impacted approximately 6,900 people through the support provided by the 47 institutions that participated in the campaign.

Selective collection maintains positive trend and energy produced from waste exceeds 500 GWh. EGF, the leader in urban waste treatment and recovery in Portugal, recorded significant progress in its main operational indicators in 2025, particularly in the treatment and recovery of biowaste and selective collection, reinforcing its commitment to environmental sustainability, innovation and operational efficiency.

Valorlis is fully committed to restoring normal selective collection circuits at recycling points, seeking to ensure, as quickly as possible, their availability to populations affected by the severe weather caused by Storm Kristin.

The Mota-Engil Group is deeply saddened to announce that António Mota, the Group's long-standing leader who served as its chairman for more than 27 years, from 1995 to January 2023, passed away this morning in the city of Porto. Today we bid farewell to an extraordinary man, a visionary entrepreneur who leaves behind a unique legacy, known for his humanistic spirit and solidarity with society, and the mark he left on everyone who knew him.
