Statement of the CEO, Mr. Paulo Azevedo:
“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.
In the future, in addition to all of this, we also want to be recognised as an organisation that creates value across all geographies due to its modernity, creativity, capacity to innovate, implement and execute.
To continue being a winner, a restless spirit is needed, and readiness to embrace new paths. Each one of us has to assume his share of responsibility, and contribute to build our future. We must all be more entrepreneurial, more daring and innovative in seeking solutions, and see opportunities in all challenges. With everyone´s contribution, tomorrow we will be an even stronger company, more international, without ever losing sight of the social commitment that unites us with the communities which surround us.Main EU files targeted

Meetings
Meetings
2 meetings found. Download meetings
The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
