Corporate volunteering enriches team work, awakening new potentials, creating an environment of friendship and companionship. Cosmotec, through its Project named Projeto Estrelinhas do Mar ("Little Starfish Project"), develops a series of activities in several institutions, besides being a friendly company to the children and teenagers by being a member of ABRINQ and FUMCAD. The company has as Internal Program of Environmental Responsibility, with awareness campaigns to the staff and their families, besides the Program for Collection of Recyclable Materials. The industrial plant complies with the laws and with all the environmental commitments assumed by the company, preventing pollution, controlling, detecting and monitoring the disposal of residues, packages, wastewater recycling, and products transportation. This confirms the commitment to the company's Environmental Management System.

Projeto Estrelinhas do Mar ("Little Starfish Project") by Cosmotec Community

Cosmotec encourages its collaborators and their families to volunteer, in order to help institutions that take care of needy children. Therefore, the Cosmotec Community created in 2001 the Projeto Estrelinhas do Mar ("Little Starfish Project"), that currently benefits Lar Dona Cotinha, an orphanage with 33 children and adolescents whose parents have lost their custody for different reasons; LEMDA, which is a shelter and school to children and adolescents that has special needs; Casa Vida ("Life House"), shelter of HIV’s seropositive children, etc.

Many other actions are made in behalf of these and other institutions, whenever it is necessary.
