.PT distinguished in the National Sustainability Award

.PT and Barra Barra (the .PT headquarters building) were distinguished today with an Honorable Mention in the National Sustainability Award, in the Health and Well-being in Organizations category.

Built to function as a true digital space, Barra Barra (//) provides a set of infrastructures that favor the acquisition and reinforcement of digital skills, and the implementation of projects linked to innovation, aimed at both .PT employees and external entities.

Barra Barra (//) is a building with sustainable certification (Lider A certification) whose construction incorporated sustainable materials and more than 30% of construction waste. In this new building, LED lighting with high energy efficiency and presence system were installed, as well as equipment to reduce the use of water in taps, cisterns, and showers. The rehabilitation project incorporated components from the existing building, such as wood, stairs, stones, doors, and skirting boards, used natural and ecological materials - avoiding others that incorporated toxic products that could harm indoor air quality - and favored the use of products and materials with locally sourced and as durable as possible.

.PT was also the first entity in Portugal to obtain the Digital Maturity Seal in Sustainability, Silver level.

This is the 3rd edition of this award, a 10-year project, fully aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This year, the objective continues to recognize, inspire, promote, and publicize the work and activities of companies that join this initiative for global sustainability in the different areas of sustainability: environmental, social and governance (ESG).
