EDP Volunteer Program
A more sustainable planet is not possible without social justice. Therefore, volunteering plays a crucial role in building sustainability and changing tomorrow now.
This is a commitment taken on by EDP Group in its various geographies - but this commitment cannot materialize without the involvement of the company's employees, who play a crucial role in our Volunteer Program.
We believe that volunteering can make a difference on the planet, contributing to the development and transformation of the communities where we operate, while also involving our employees, their talents and skills to multiply the purpose and meaning of what we do. That's why we say: We #DareToVolunteer.
To celebrate a decade of the EDP Volunteer Program, we will be holding a conference on corporate volunteering titled The Role We Can Play. This is an opportunity to find inspiration to change tomorrow now.
Watch the conference live broadcast here on December 14, from 2:45 pm.
Join us and celebrate 10 years of the EDP Volunteer Program.

Wanting to change tomorrow
The first EDP volunteering project was rolled out in 2005, when we co-founded Junior Achievement Portugal - the Portuguese avatar of the Junior Achievement project.
Encouraged by the results of these first experiences, we officially created the EDP Volunteer Program in 2010, on the eve of the 'European Year of Volunteering.' Back then it was decided that four working hours a month would be earmarked for volunteer work, and that very same year nine countries held their first Christmas Campaign.
Since then, the number of participants and individual/institutional beneficiaries has been rising steadily. Thanks to volunteer work, we are changing tomorrow now in Portugal, Brazil, Spain and other countries where EDP Renováveis operates.
We dare to tell our stories
Qualidade em Voluntariado
O Programa de Voluntariado da EDP foi distinguido com o Selo de Qualidade em Voluntariado Join4Change, no nível excelência (o mais elevado), pela Confederação Portuguesa de Voluntariado (CPV), numa parceria com o Instituto de Solidariedade e Cooperação Universitária (ISU) e com o apoio da Associação Portuguesa de Qualidade (APQ).
Este selo resulta de um sistema de identificação, análise e valorização da qualidade de práticas de gestão de programas de voluntariado, ao qual se podem candidatar organizações promotoras de voluntariado.
O reconhecimento externo é um estímulo para continuarmos a trabalhar o Voluntariado Corporativo, com os olhos postos nos desafios das nossas comunidades, e em alinhamento com a Estratégia de Investimento Social e de Gestão de Pessoas do Grupo EDP.
