Social Responsability

Respect to human beings and their development is the main driver for Cyrela’s social actions. Cyrela strives to maintain a socially responsible, ethical and transparent relationship with its stakeholders – employees, shareholders, suppliers and customers. The Company develops projects aimed at investing in the human factor and at helping preserve the environment.

Instituto Cyrela

Doing good is an integral part of who we are, how we do business and how we build relationships. We believe education can change people’s lives.

Created in November 2010, Instituto Cyrela is a not-for-profit organization responsible for all our social responsibility initiatives. It manages Cyrela’s social investments and seeks to produce benefits both for society and for the company.

It relies on a very active group of volunteers who undertake solidarity initiatives in selected institutions and supports social programs designed to provide education for children and youth. The project has benefited over 20,000 people in eight Brazilian states since it was launched.

When you buy a Cyrela or a Living product, you help change the lives of people throughout Brazil. In fact, 1% of Cyrela’s net income* goes to the Institute.

With your help, we are going to continue doing good.

*1% of net income in the previous year.

Our activities

We support educational projects benefiting vulnerable children and youth from the cities in which Cyrela operates.

We believe education is the main pillar of social change and support projects that:

  • Prepare professionals, as well as day care centers, preschools and kindergartens;
  • Help parents bring up their young children;
  • Provide reinforcement classes for children and youth from public schools; and
  • Help young people enter the labor market by improving their technical, social and emotional skills.

Apprentice Program

Cyrela launched its Apprentice Program, intended to offer students their first jobs, in 2007. Part of the students come from professional development programs funded by Instituto Cyrela, in continuation of a cycle that starts with philanthropic initiatives and is consolidated when young people enter the labor market.

The young apprentices, between ages 16 and 24, perform practical administrative activities at Cyrela’s office or construction sites, as well as participate in theoretical activities, which include courses, talks, cultural tours and social activities. Each apprentice’s development is always monitored jointly by Cyrela and another organization that has a team of psychologists, educators and social workers who provide all the personal and professional support needed.

Cyrela believes sustainable initiatives are crucial for the conservation of natural resources and the preservation of our planet. As a result, all its projects are designed so as to minimize environmental impact and allow easy access.
