Together with Crédito Agrícola and the Just a Change Association, Grupo Alves Bandeira continues to strengthen its commitment to fighting energy and housing poverty in Portugal. This social impact partnership, launched in 2022, has already supported several institutions that provide assistance to vulnerable families, by restoring facilities and improving their comfort and energy efficiency.

At the heart of this mission lies the goal of transforming lives—not only of the families directly supported, but also of local communities that see their social institutions strengthened to provide a more dignified and sustainable service.

Camp In 2025: 7 homes, over 40 volunteers and many lives transformed

One of the pillars of this partnership is the Camp In program run by Just a Change, which mobilises volunteers to rehabilitate deteriorated housing. In the 2025 edition, more than 40 young volunteers worked on the ground in Celorico da Beira and Góis, renovating a total of seven houses belonging to families in vulnerable situations.

More than simple works, each intervention restored dignity, comfort and hope to families who now enjoy better living conditions.

According to the Marketing Director of Grupo Alves Bandeira, "The partnership with Crédito Agrícola and Just a Change reflects the spirit of social responsibility that has always guided our work. Since the Group’s foundation, this has been one of the essential pillars of our identity. This project is yet another concrete example of how we can generate a positive impact in the communities where we are present.”

A project everyone can be part of

This partnership is also unique in the way it involves society: for every litre refuelled using the Crédito Agrícola payment card, customers save up to 12 cents per litre, and Grupo Alves Bandeira contributes an additional amount per litre to the project.

In this way, each refuelling becomes an opportunity to help combat energy and housing poverty, allowing more families and institutions to benefit from volunteering and rehabilitation initiatives.
