Campaign “70K: Mark of Our Achievement”

One of the key motivators for the January record was the internal campaign “70K: Mark of Our Achievement,” launched to encourage employees to reach the goal of 70,000 monthly movements. The initiative, which involved the entire Porto Itapoá team, fostered an environment of engagement and collaboration, with recognition actions and awards for the sectors that contributed the most to achieving the goal. “The campaign was essential to unite the team around a common goal. It showed that together, we are capable of overcoming any challenge and achieving extraordinary results,” emphasized Arten.
