As a part of the program remembering the 40 years since its founding, on August 19, 1969, Embraer has been following through on a series of activities for employees and their families, as well as for the communities where it is involved, and the general public, in honor of the people who have already contributed, or now contribute, to building this success story. At the same time, they demonstrate the Company’s concern for establishing responsible corporate social practices, with sustainable growth and the development of the communities where it is located.
On June 5, Embraer celebrated World Environment Day by planting 40 trees at each of its six facilities in Brazil. Three are in the city of São José dos Campos, and the others in the cities of Botucatu, Gavião Peixoto, and Taubaté, in out-state São Paulo, where 40 employees at each unit who have been with the Company the longest did the planting. A similar initiative was done by students and staff from Engineer Juarez Wanderley High School, created and maintained by the Embraer Education and Research Institute.
Recently, a contest was held among employees in Brazil and abroad for painting a model of the EMBRAER 190 airplane, under the theme of “Embraer’s 40 Years”. In July, another contest for the children of Company employees will have the topic of “The Aircraft of the Future”.
Also in July, for the purpose of publicizing the history of aviation, as well as that of Embraer, itself, the Company will take a traveling exhibit to some of Brazil’s airports and cities. At the same time, the Company will inaugurate the Embraer Historical Center portal, where Internet users can navigate through Embraer’s history.
In October, with the support of the Embraer Education and Research Institute and the City of São José dos Campos, the Embraer Miniglider Championship will be held, focusing on public school students, through middle school in the cities where Embraer has industrial plants.
In the context of the celebrations, Embraer will present some of its aircraft that are no longer in production, duly restored, like it did, in 2008, with the second prototype of the Bandeirante airplane, the first produced by the Company. The plan is to promote the history of the Brazilian aeronautics industry and make it known to the general public, through exhibits in aerospace museums around Brazil.
