This recognition highlights the work that the company does to integrate sustainable and responsible practices into our management and the day-to-day activities of all our companies.

 

The event, held at Estúdio Time Out Market in Lisbon, brought together several companies and organizations, both public and private. With the motto ‘We build paths with a positive impact’, the 2030 Sustainability Strategy sets goals and actions in the Social, Environmental and Governance areas, in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

E.BEL CELEBRATES THE BEL GROUP'S 24TH ANNIVERSARY

The highlight of the October newsletter was, unsurprisingly, the Group’s 24th anniversary, which reviewed the evolution in the number of employees and companies. Also in October, Amaral & Filhos held the ‘Pensar Poupança’ (Think Savings) event, which brought together the Board of Directors, Directors, Department Heads and Store Managers for a day of strategic reflection.

 

In terms of sustainability, the month in which National Sustainability Day is celebrated saw the BEL Group’s headquarters undergo a signage renovation, in a symbolic moment that promotes good practices in daily activities carried out in the workplace that have a direct impact on the environment or on everyone’s health. October also marks World Mental Health Day, and we bring you several articles and proposals in this area. These and other topics are available at https://grupobel.pt/wp-content/uploads/AF_E.BEL-10_2025_compressed.pdf

MARGARIDA REBELO PINTO IN PÁGINAS TANTAS

On 6 November, the BEL Group Reading Club hosted another session of Páginas Tantas. The guest was writer Margarida Rebelo Pinto, who brought along her latest novel, “A Grande Ilusão” (The Great Illusion). As usual in the Club’s sessions, the conversation flowed in an informal tone, with the author introducing herself as ‘30% journalist and 70% writer’. Margarida Rebelo Pinto spoke about her work, marked by an attempt to portray her generation and the reality of the country. This is what she tried to do with her latest novel, which she identifies as ‘the apple of my eye’.

 

The conversation was not limited to books, with the writer defending the importance of free, independent and critical journalism. Indifferent to the criticism of a ‘certain intellectual elite’, Margarida Rebelo Pinto explains that she writes for her audience with the concern of producing writing that people can identify with, and which has already spanned three generations. She proudly mentioned that her books are frequently used in school programs for teaching Portuguese as a non-native language, precisely because they combine two of the ingredients she values most: easy-to-read writing and a faithful portrayal of Portugal and its people.
