The Viana Abraça project received an honorable mention at the European Enterprise Promotion Awards 2020 in the category of responsible and inclusive entrepreneurship. The Viana Abraça project is an initiative of ACR+ member the municipality of Viana do Castelo (SMSBVC) and the Viana do Castelo City Council, with the objective of diverting organic waste from the landfill and attributing social benefits to the Municipal Social Solidarity Institutions.
For each euro saved through the diversion of organic waste from the landfill, Viana do Castelo City Council adds another euro. The total amount collected reverts to the attribution of social benefits, such as the acquisition of goods that allow a better functioning of the Municipal social solidarity institutions.
