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.
Doing good is part of who we are — in the way we do business and build relationships.
Founded in 2011, the Cyrela Institute is responsible for Cyrela’s private social investments, as well as its corporate social responsibility initiatives. Both activities are guided by the Cyrela Group’s mission: to transform cities and the way we live, by creating value and doing good.
With a strong focus on education and people’s well-being, the Institute develops projects that contribute to improving the quality of education in public schools — through the delivery of new learning spaces — and promotes quality of life, professional training for construction workers, as well as the educational and professional development of everyone who is part of Cyrela.
The Institute receives a budget equivalent to 1% of Cyrela’s net operating income, in order to play an important role in transforming society and strengthening community relations.

In 2007, Cyrela launched the Apprentice Program, aimed at offering young students the opportunity to gain their first work experience.
The apprentices, aged between 16 and 24, participate in both practical and theoretical activities. They carry out administrative tasks either in the office or on construction sites, and also attend courses, lectures, cultural outings, and social activities as part of their training. A partner institution supports the development of each apprentice alongside Cyrela, providing a dedicated team of psychologists, educators, and social workers who offer all necessary personal and professional support throughout their journey with us.
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. Learn about some environmental measures adopted by Cyrela in both common and private areas in its projects.

In line with its principles, Cyrela adopts efficient waste management practices. In fact, it has been investing in sustainability since 2005. We monitor environmental indicators closely on each project site on a daily basis. In 2017, 55% of all the waste produced on Construtora Cyrela’s construction sites in São Paulo was recycled and/or processed. We are constantly seeking new partners and suppliers to increase this amount.
