Each generation at Aveleda wants to improve what was passed down to them. Throughout our history, we have realized that sustainability and success are closely linked. With our eyes on the future, we have been developing a sustainability report for over a decade. We have defined our policy and objectives and we respect that sustainability is a continuous path and is a part of ours.

Our Sustainability Policy
At Aveleda, "Sustainability" is based on two main pillars: Biodiversity and People. We have set our policies and targets around the improvement of people’s well being and in the importance of preserving and increasing the biodiversity of the nature around us.
Human Values
The human, family and continuity values cultivated here are reflected in a close relationship between employees and partners. We are committed to providing a healthy work environment and work/life balance policy for all our employees. We offer support in education and cultural development for institutions that support disadvantaged people with a focus on local communities.
Biodiversity
The legacy of Sustainability at Aveleda begins with Manoel Pedro Guedes, with his passion for wines, gardens and nature, and for the dream he wanted to fulfill at Aveleda. It is key for us to preserve the biodiversity of our gardens and forests, therefore, our commitment with the natural environment and biodiversity aligns itself with the goals set by the COP15, which aims to restore 30% of the degraded ecosystems on land and sea and protect 30% of the planet’s nature, by 2030.
