The Bunge Foundation was established in 1955 as the social arm of Bunge Brazil S. A.
Making education its main focus, it started its activities by trying to encourage the sciences, language and literature, and the arts in the country. Since then, it has expanded its scope of action, developing programs to train teachers and corporate volunteers in the public school system and to preserve corporate memory.
With the advent of the 21st century, however, there was a more pressing need: sustainability. The Bunge Foundation has accepted the challenge and embarked on a new path. The Bunge Foundation today is an organization committed to sustainable development. Education is no longer the focus, but it remains important and has become a tool to help generate innovative ideas. For the Bunge Foundation, to feed ideas is to sustain the world.
