What our customers say about us
With the support of the Sustanya team, PCL was able to define its sustainability strategy and compile all relevant ESG data, enabling comprehensive monitoring of its activities. As recognition of our journey, PCL was invited to participate as a speaker at the International Conference 'ESG Strategy for Exporting SMEs' and, as a result of the contacts made, we obtained financing from a banking entity specifically aimed at companies that adopt sustainability as a determining factor in their activity.
Manuel Cavaco Guerreiro
CEO of Prado, Cartolinas da Lousã
For an SME such as Quilaban, which is seeking to understand, structure and build its capacity to respond to the challenges of sustainability, Sustanya has been a very valuable support. From the technology platform to the team that supports us. Today, we have a way to identify, assess and monitor our ESG performance, with the confidence that the indicators by which we are guided are aligned with international best practice. In one year, we have gained a deeper awareness of sustainability, we analyse the evolution of our performance better and more broadly and, based on this, we have been able to optimise our strategy.
João Castilho
QUILABAN — Executive Director of Organisational Development, Marketing and Communication
Sustanya helped to monitor and consolidate some information that was dispersed. In environmental terms, Sidefarma already had quite a few indicators to monitor, but it was able to aggregate not only these indicators but also those from the Social and Governance areas. On the other hand, Sustanya was our first contact with other ESG issues on the agenda, namely the Sustainable Development Goals, for which a mapping exercise was carried out, giving us the possibility to align ourselves.
