Award
Trombini is the big winner of the 5S Best Practices Award – Southern Region
An initiative that promotes professional training for children and grandchildren of recyclable material collectors in Curitiba (PR). The project Connecting Future is led by the Instituto Catadores de Futuro and Unilehu, the Free University for Human Efficiency, with support from Trombini. The training will focus on the field of information technology, a sector with high market demand, aiming to create more career opportunities, improve income, and enhance the quality of life for collectors and their children and grandchildren.
According to Regis Moterle, Trombini’s Raw Material Acquisition Coordinator, supporting the Connecting Future initiative aligns perfectly with the company’s commitment to social responsibility. “When we learned about this initiative, we recognized that contributing to an educational project targeting children, grandchildren, and recyclable material collectors was deeply connected to Trombini’s mission. As one of the largest corrugated cardboard recycling companies in Brazil, this initiative complements our business values,” Moterle explained.
The project was launched on September 18th and brought together authorities such as the vice-mayor of Curitiba, Eduardo Pimentel, representatives of the State Government and the Ministry of Labor. Trombini’s representatives at the event were: Anibal Tebet, Administrative and Financial Superintendent; Ilda Meira, Human Resources Coordinator; Regis Moterle, Raw Material Acquisition Coordinator; Marcelo Etges, Information Technology Coordinator; Pablo Hensel and Gustavo Lopes Sezerino, both from the Raw Material Acquisition team.
How to participate in the Connecting Future project?
The courses will be offered free of charge to teenagers and young people aged 16 to 24 who, upon completing the training, will be able to work at the IT support level.
