Social responsibility is one of the cornerstones guiding MIDALPA’s activities, reflecting its ongoing commitment to the community and to the social development of the region in which it operates. More than just a company focused on its economic activities, MIDALPA plays an active role in promoting solidarity, supporting local organisations and fostering community initiatives.

Over the years, MIDALPA has provided regular support to the Amares Volunteer Fire Brigade and the Amares branch of the Portuguese Red Cross, helping these organisations to continue playing their vital role in protecting, rescuing and supporting the local population. These contributions reflect our recognition of the importance of the work carried out on a daily basis by organisations that are at the forefront of meeting the community’s needs.

The company has also been supporting VALORIZA – Local Development Association, a leading organisation in the municipality of Amares, which carries out work of great social importance with a range of different groups. Through its projects and social initiatives, VALORIZA promotes inclusion, equal opportunities, support for vulnerable individuals and families, and community development. MIDALPA’s support for this organisation reflects its commitment to building a fairer and more caring society, recognising the positive impact that VALORIZA has on improving the quality of life for many people in the region.

Another example of MIDALPA’s commitment to the community is the support it provides to AECA – Association for Education, Culture and the Arts, an organisation that carries out important work in promoting education, culture and the arts in the municipality of Amares. MIDALPA’s support for this association demonstrates its conviction that investment in education, culture and people’s training is essential for sustainable development and for strengthening the identity and cohesion of the local community.

MIDALPA’s connection to the community is also evident through its sponsorship of local festivals, helping to preserve traditions, local culture and the spirit of unity amongst the local people. This support helps to promote events that form part of the region’s cultural identity and strengthen the bonds between its inhabitants.

The company also plays an active role in promoting sport, supporting and sponsoring various sporting initiatives and events, with a particular focus on football, both in the municipality of Amares and in the municipality of Braga. MIDALPA believes that sport plays an essential role in the development of young people, in promoting healthy lifestyles, in fostering team spirit and in social inclusion. It therefore seeks to collaborate with sports clubs, associations and projects that encourage the public’s active participation and contribute to the development of the local community.

At the same time, the company remains attentive and supportive in the face of emerging needs and exceptional circumstances. Whenever causes arise that require collective action, MIDALPA seeks to make its contribution by taking part in solidarity campaigns and humanitarian aid initiatives. A notable example was its collaboration in sending essential supplies to communities affected by the outbreak of war in Ukraine, demonstrating its sensitivity to humanitarian causes and its commitment to the values of solidarity and mutual aid.

MIDALPA believes that business success must go hand in hand with a strong sense of social responsibility. For this reason, it strives to be there whenever the community needs it, supporting institutions, associations, cultural projects and sporting initiatives that contribute to the collective well-being. This approach, characterised by engagement and responsibility, reinforces its commitment to the region’s sustainable development and demonstrates a corporate culture rooted in human values, solidarity and active citizenship.

Rather than simply supporting one-off causes, MIDALPA seeks to build lasting relationships with organisations and projects that promote social progress, acting as an active partner in community development and in fostering a more inclusive, cohesive and supportive society. Its involvement in social, cultural and sporting causes demonstrates a vision of corporate responsibility that places people at the heart of its activities, helping to strengthen the community and create lasting social value.
