Statement of the CEO

“To create economic and social value in the long run, taking the benefits of progress and innovation to an ever increasing number of people”. 

This is our mission statement  that we pledge before our stakeholders. Our objective and our ambition is to continue our path, multiplying, in a sustainable way, value that contributes to the well-being of an ever increasing number of people.

Sonae is a company with solid and deep-rooted roots that enabled us to leverage a vast number of businesses, from retail to telecommunications to shopping centres.

I am certain that our success is owed, in part, to our capacity to cultivate a strong culture with an appetite for change, resilience, dynamism and leadership. But our vision surpasses our roots, and we yearn for more. For this reason, internationalisation is increasingly an objective, and we have already attained many victories. Every day, Sonae comes into contact with thousands of people. We have the ambition to continue to grow in dimension and innovation, reaching increasing levels of profitability and investing in a targeted manner.

In the countries where we operate, we are recognised as an organisation that works based on trust. We are a contributor to a more prosperous, more fair, more ethical and more sustainable society. We have strong values, a method and own culture.
