We are a private, Brazilian, non-profit making institution, created by the engineer Norberto Odebrecht in 1965. Our primary purpose is to combat poverty and inequality. We work towards building a more responsible, harmonious, solidarity-based society, with equal opportunities for all. We promote sustainable territorial development through PDCIS, the social program that we execute in the Brazilian northeast, with actions in six integrated fronts, which strive to combat poverty and inequality: education for sustainable development; environmental conservation; economic development; innovation and technology; citizenship and governance, and cohesion and social mobilization.
