Son 28 B English.Indd Social Responsability Actions Sonae SGPS, S.A. 01 We are fully aware that our main mission is to create economic value, founded on our values and principles. Ethical management of our businesses, developing our business partners and continuously demanding competence, innovation, loyalty and competitiveness, are factors that we consider fundamental to the development and modernisation of the economy. This is the way that we have been generating and distributing wealth and is our principal contribution to the economic and social progress of the communities in which we operate. We frequently report on our wealth generation and the positive impact this has, but we rarely mention our actions in the area of social responsibility, unless they are directly related to the sustainability of our businesses. In this brochure, we present a series of initiatives that have resulted from our involvement in the search for solutions to the problems that aff ect the communities in which we operate. We have consistently been following a policy of concentrating our support on projects that can deliver long lasting benefi ts. This less well known side of our activities also gives me great pride and I am convinced that this feeling is shared by all of you. Maia, September, 2007 Paulo de Azevedo 02 Sonae SGPS, SA, founded in 1959, manages a diversifi ed portfolio of businesses.

Headquarters: Lugar do Espido, Via Norte, Maia Registered at Maia Commercial Registering Office under nº. 506 035 034 Share Capital: 700 000 000 euros VAT nº 506 035 034 Publicly Traded Company Corporate Governance Report 31 December 2007 (Translation from the Portuguese original) 5 March 2008 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 0. Compliance with CMVM Recommendations Sonae Indústria is committed to developing and implementing good corporate governance practices going beyond mere compliance with regulatory obligations. Sonae Indústria firmly believes that good governance reduces risk and creates shareholder value. Good governance should include responsible management practices and a broad-based concern about environmental, social and ethical issues. Sonae Indústria complies with all but Recommendations 8 and 10-A of the Corporate Governance Recommendations issued by the CMVM, (the Portuguese Securities Exchange Regulator) dated November 2005. In relation to Recommendation 8, Sonae Indústria discloses the individual remuneration of the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the CEO, as well as the aggregate remuneration of the Executive and Non-Executive Directors. The Board’s decision is based on the fact that disclosure of individual remuneration of all Directors is not generally accepted practice amongst Portuguese companies (less than 7% of listed companies in Portugal complied in their 2006 financial statements). In addition, the Board believes that the disclosure currently made is sufficient to separately assess the remuneration of the main components of the Board: the Chairman, CEO, Executive Committee and Non-Executive Directors. Sonae Indústria launched a process to develop a sustainability reporting strategy in 2007. Sonae Indústria’s business practices are rooted in strong ethical standards and processes and are set out in detail in the company’s Code of Conduct, as well as the procedures used to communicate irregularities, currently in the approval process by the relevant corporate governing bodies.

  • The Internationalisation of Sonae Indústria
    FAE CASE WRITING AWARD The internationalisation of Sonae Indústria This case was written by Ricardo Morais (Católica Porto Business School). The case was written to be used as basis for classroom discussions and it does not reflect any situation of best or worst management practices. The case was written in collaboration with Sonae Indústria. ©2015, Católica Porto Business School. No part of this document can be copied, filed, transmitted, reproduced or distributed in any form without prior written consent from the copyright holder. 1 Abstract This case describes the internationalisation of Sonae Indústria from initial exports in the 1970s to its current position as the world’s fifth largest wood based panels producer. In between these milestones, the company grew through acquisitions to become the Iberian leader in 1996 and the world leader in 1998. It achieved record results in 2007, but since then it has been downsizing. Its strategic performance has been cyclical, including a turnaround in 1995 and another in 2004. In particular, the company had to manage processes of post-acquisition and multinational integration. In addition, it had to cope with the international concentration of its industry and unprecedented economic recession. The case thus illustrates the strategic challenges of transforming a Portuguese company into a multinational corporation. For the current management team the main priority is to achieve the third turnaround of the company since 1991, following a negative cycle since 2008. Keywords: Internationalisation, Multinational Corporation, Corporate Strategy, Wood Based Panels, Sonae Indústria. 2 Introduction On the 15th of February, 2013, Rui Correia replaced Belmiro de Azevedo as CEO of Sonae Indústria (Exhibit 1), a subsidiary of Efanor Group (Exhibit 2).

  • The Values of SONAE El Camino a Seguir – Los Valores De SONAE
    The way forward – The values of SONAE El camino a seguir – Los valores de SONAE Woody Allen said he is only interested in immortality if he doesn’t die; 112 he is not interest in achieving immortality through the memory of his work. Organizations can also aspire to this. Immortality is possible if perma- nent care and renewal is provided to them; without this, organizations inexorably fade. In fact, companies usually do not live as long as individuals, but it is true that companies that have a strong family foundation and support Belmiro de Azevedo Chairman SONAE Group tend to last longer than the others. It is probably a subject to be dealt with by academics but I suspect that sharing a solid set of family-ori- ginated values and beliefs – which end up shaping strategy-planning within a context of shareholding stability - might not be totally absent from a thorough explanation for long-living companies. Values are immaterial, but lasting; they are intangible, but firm like pillars. Values are the source of nourishment to an organization and to a company and Sonae is no exception. A strong set of values is the matrix according to which the evolution of Sonae Group should be read and interpreted. This does not mean that values are immune to change – only change itself is and should be immune to change. It simply means that the axiology matrix is fundamentally the same, irrespective of all the changes - also to the values – that come with time and with the dynamics of society and life. Sonae was founded in 1959 as a company that introduced the pro- duction of a wood based product called “estratifite” in Portugal, using a waste product – grape stems.

  • Nota De Pesar Pelo Falecimento Do Eng. Belmiro De Azevedo
    Nota de pesar pelo falecimento do Eng. Belmiro de Azevedo Sebastião Feyo de Azevedo, Reitor da Universidade do Porto É com grande pesar que a Universidade do Porto, pela voz do seu Reitor, Sebastião Feyo de Azevedo, lamenta o falecimento do Eng. Belmiro de Azevedo e apresenta as suas sentidas condolências à família e amigos. O desaparecimento deste nosso ilustre antigo estudante e Doutor Honoris Causa, referência maior do empresariado português e cidadão civicamente empenhado é uma grande perda para a Universidade do Porto e para a sociedade portuguesa. Neste momento de infortúnio, importa lembrar o papel fundamental do Eng. Belmiro de Azevedo no desenvolvimento da indústria, na modernização do tecido empresarial, na internacionalização da economia e na promoção da inovação. O Eng. Belmiro de Azevedo foi um empresário verdadeiramente visionário, sobretudo porque percebeu muito cedo a importância da cooperação entre empresas e instituições do ensino superior em projetos de investigação, desenvolvimento e inovação. Este foi, aliás, um fator crítico da afirmação da Sonae com um dos grandes grupos económicos do Portugal contemporâneo e uma verdadeira escola de muitos dos melhores gestores portugueses. Lembro, a propósito, a ação determinante do Eng. Belmiro de Azevedo na criação do CLIFE – Centro de Ligação da Indústria à Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto (FEUP), um projeto pioneiro à época. A atividade do CLIFE foi desenvolvida entre 1971 e 1974, quando a relação universidades/empresas era menos que incipiente e por muitos vista como uma excentricidade. A proximidade do Eng. Belmiro de Azevedo à Universidade do Porto prolongou- se até aos dias de hoje, com vantagem quer para a nossa instituição, quer para o grupo Sonae, quer para a economia portuguesa.

  • Belmiro De Azevedo O Mais Admirado E Sonae a Empresa-Modelo
    PORTO, 17 DE JUNHO DE 2009 Estudo a alunos do Ensino Superior sobre criação de negócios Belmiro de Azevedo o mais admirado e Sonae a empresa-modelo Belmiro de Azevedo é o empresário mais admirado pelos estudantes universitários portugueses, muito à frente de figuras internacionais como Bill Gates (Microsoft), Steve Jobs (Apple) ou Richard Branson (Virgin). Este estudo, que se enquadra num projecto internacional e envolve sete universidades estrangeiras, foi publicado por Aurora Teixeira (docente da Faculdade de Economia da Universidade do Porto e investigadora do CEFUP e INESC Porto – Instituto de Engenharia de Sistemas e Computadores do Porto), que refere que o homem forte da Sonae devia voltar à escola, "não como professor assistente convidado, mas como catedrático, título compatível com o seu estatuto e reconhecimento". Belmiro de Azevedo é uma referência para todos os colaboradores da Sonae. O seu carisma e pragmatismo ajudaram a tornar a empresa no pujante grupo económico que é hoje, ajudando ainda à criação de um role model no mundo dos negócios. Quando confrontados com as palavras ‘empresa’ e ‘empreendedorismo’, a primeira personalidade que vem à cabeça da próxima geração de gestores é uma das figuras mais importantes no historial da Sonae – Belmiro de Azevedo. Por esta razão, a autora do estudo, Aurora Teixeira, lança o repto: "Muitas vezes temos surpresas boas e estas pessoas até têm disponibilidade. Só devemos pedir às pessoas muito ocupadas, que compõem a academia, que desçam do pedestal". Porém, conclui a investigadora, "a criação de disciplinas bicéfalas, com duas pessoas diferentes, o académico de gema e um empresário, capazes de fazer a ponte entre as escolas do ensino superior e as empresas, não se resolve por decreto".
