In addition to standing out in the special transport sector, LASO has been actively contributing to the development of local communities and national sports. Over the past year, the company has strengthened its social commitment through sponsorships and donations for various community festivals and sports clubs, demonstrating its ongoing support for initiatives that promote well-being and community unity.
Recognizing the importance of local traditions and culture, LASO has been an active sponsor of various festivals and community events, such as FexpoMalveira, an important fair for the region, and the Núcleo de Camionistas das Terras de La Salette. These events are crucial for keeping traditions alive, fostering social interaction, and strengthening community bonds.
Sports is an area that LASO highly values, acknowledging its role in promoting healthy habits and building team spirit. Throughout this year and preparing for the upcoming season, the company has supported several high-performance teams across different sports, including football and roller hockey. Notably, Sport Lisboa e Benfica and Clube Desportivo de Mafra stand out.
Among the supported clubs, LASO also recognizes those that work towards youth development, promoting inclusion, and providing opportunities for practicing various sports. This includes Clube Desportivo de Mafra and Clube Desportivo da Venda do Pinheiro, as well as Rugby Club de Séte in France, where the company has a branch.
In addition to supporting sports clubs, the company has also backed individual athletes in major competitions, such as sponsoring António Maio, an off-road rally driver and participant in the Dakar Rally, and Pedro Gonçalves, a LASO employee and Jiu-Jitsu fighter.
The company’s donations also include support for humanitarian causes. Currently, LASO Spain, in collaboration with two clients and partners, is organizing a charity Paddle Tournament aimed at ensuring people with intellectual disabilities can occupy their place in the world with dignity.
These sponsorships and donations are not just financial support; when possible and necessary, LASO also provides logistical support to causes by offering transportation and handling of goods. An example is the support provided to SOS Animal, which required the transportation and installation of new shelters.
Through its involvement in sports and culture, LASO aims to continue making a difference, contributing to the creation of a healthier, more inclusive, and dynamic environment where sports and culture play a vital role in social development.
