As a global company, CPM Braxis fulfils its mission of operating in the world in an ecologically conscious and socially responsible way. Besides taking care of its clients’ IT projects, the company also organizes a series of actions in a quest for sustainability.

Since December 2006, the unit in Salvador, Bahia, has held ISO 14001:2004 certification, an international standard that establishes the best practices adopted in handling the Environmental Management System of companies.  The model enables the improvement of environmental performance to be carried out, with the help and participation of all employees, through the operating procedures and planned monitoring actions.

Awareness of the need to mobilize actions for preserving the environment is also present in the CPM Braxis promotional material, which is produced on recycled paper. In conformity with the policy that governs the company's environmental actions, it is the duty of CPM Braxis to:

	Encourage an increase in the productivity and quality in the delivery of IT products and services through motivated professionals and continuous improvements in processes and management, as well as compliance with regulatory rules applicable to the company. Our activities are carried out with a commitment to prevent pollution and impacts on the environment and to economize natural resources, establishing communication channels with interested parties, so as to stimulate the creation of a collective perception of responsibility for future generations.

Also aware of the importance of schools as a cradle for educating society, CPM Braxis closely accompanies the progress of more than 980 students and teachers of Luiz Gonzaga Travassos da Rosa Elementary School, in Jardim Novo Morumbi, on the outskirts of São Paulo.  This initiative is carried out in partnership with the NGO Parceiros da Educação (Partners in Education), coordinated by the company’s CEO, Jair Ribeiro.  Currently, the NGO is coordinating the help given by a number of private companies to 25 state schools with a total of more than 30,000 students.

In the school in Jardim Novo Morumbi, the bathrooms, schoolyard, corridors, library, dining room, sports court and classrooms have already been renovated.  The interaction of the students ranges from the choice of the colors of the paint for the different areas of the school, to making better use of the teaching, which is the main objective of the collaboration by CPM Braxis. 

As a result of this work, the students’ grades have already improved 12% when comparing 2004 with 2005, according to the tests of the Assessment System for School Performance in the State of São Paulo (Saresp).

To assure continuity and greater effectiveness of the actions carried out in the school, CPM Braxis and the NGO Parceiros da Educação have organized for two consecutive years a one-day social event called “Fazer e Valer” (Doing and Helping), held in the school to integrate students, family members and the neighboring community with a variety of workshops and social actions.
 
This work in search of social and environmental sustainability is a continuous process of new initiatives. Within this context, CPM Braxis is constantly involving its employees in this socio-environmental commitment.
