Social Commitment

TAP embraces communities and the world.

APOIAR

APOIAR promotes development projects in Africa, in the areas of nutrition, health, education and vocational training. Their mission is to help break the cycle of absolute poverty in Africa.

ORBIS

ORBIS works in Development Cooperation in several Portuguese-speaking countries, especially in facilitating access to education, improving the quality of teaching, food reinforcement, medical assistance, vocational training and fair trade.

Sol Sem Fronteiras

Sol Sem Fronteiras works to promote universal access to a quality education in projects aimed primarily at children and young people from disadvantaged rural areas, with a special focus on the PALOPs (Portuguese-Speaking African Countries).

APOIAR, ORBIS and Sol Sem Fronteiras are currently the three beneficiaries of this TAP  social responsibility initiative, and will remain in the Program until the end of 2026.

Volunteering

We always try to support good causes and encourage our employees to take part in them. Whether on a regular basis or in one-off initiatives, regardless of our field of activity, our goal is always to make a difference. 

In 2024, as a partnership with the Maria Droste Foundation, Movimento Claro and Start.Social, we had 54 volunteers participating, and we carried out 5 sessions, which included the renovation of young people's housing spaces, cleaning woods and offering TAP Store gifts to children and young people from priority intervention neighbourhoods.

Campaigns and Donations

We believe it is by strengthening our values that our impact on and contribution to the development of society can be maximised, in total alignment with our business. 

In 2024, in support of the neediest communities and the social organizations that help them daily, we donated more than 73 thousand itens of discontinued or surplus material from our operation.

Solidarity campaigns also reflect the Company's commitment to social causes. Throughout 2024 we supported the "Embracing Ukraine" and "Solidarity IRS" campaigns, the 6th edition of Giving Tuesday Portugal, and the TAP Donate Miles special campaigns, in celebration of International Women's Day and Christmas.

"Embracing Ukraine"

In 2024, we continued to support organizations that provide humanitarian aid to the Ukrainian people, through the transport of passengers and cargo on the Lisbon-Warsaw route. To apply for this TAP support, click here.

 

In total, we have reached 72 social organizations. This is a route that allows us to embrace dozens of entities and solidarity campaigns in a social commitment that we want to fly even higher in 2025.
