To mark World Blood Donor Day, we rolled up our sleeves once again for a blood donation campaign in support of the Portuguese Institute of Blood and Transplantation.

Novo Projeto (6)

Organised in partnership with Porto Office Park (POP) and PwC, this year’s initiative collected 91 donations, amounting to approximately 40 litres of blood, a collective effort with the potential to save up to 273 lives. At a time when national reserves remain below recommended levels, this contribution was not only significant, but urgently needed.

This was the third consecutive year that ITSector joined forces with the POP community to support the Portuguese Institute of Blood and Transplantation. Professionals from across the business centre stepped forward, transforming a simple act into a collective expression of solidarity. Whether from first-time participants or returning donors, each contribution reflected a genuine commitment to helping others. It is a powerful reminder that making a real impact doesn’t require grand gestures, just the decision to step forward.

Part of ITSector’s ongoing commitment to social responsibility, this initiative also reinforces similar efforts already promoted across our Development Centres. In December 2024, we took this message to our community in Aveiro, hosting another blood donation campaign in collaboration with PCI - Creative Science Park. Yet again, the response was incredible: 54 donations, close to 25 litres of blood and a potential impact of saving up to 162 lives.

By nurturing a culture of empathy, awareness and community engagement, we continue to take purposeful steps toward a more compassionate future.
