For the sixth consecutive year, the Ramacrisna Institute has been awarded the A+ Seal by the Doar Institute, which audits and recognizes civil society organizations that adhere to international standards of management and transparency. Among the evaluated criteria are Governance, Accounting and Finance, Human Resources, Communication, Accountability, and Transparency.
It is worth noting that the efforts of the Institute have been ongoing for 65 years. Since 2008, in partnership with the Dom Cabral Foundation, managers have been intensifying their efforts to enhance management strategies, as well as training for the implementation of managerial tools, aiming to improve internal processes. In 2019, the Institute secured the Doar seal with an A+ rating for the first time (the highest rating granted by the Seal), and in 2018, it was elected the best Social Assistance Organization in the country, both awarded by the Doar Institute.
Solange Bottaro, vice president of Ramacrisna, expressed her satisfaction with the certification: “It is encouraging to renew the A+ Seal for the sixth year. This means we are on the right path, aligned with the ESG agenda, and generating sustainable long-term value creation.”
The Doar Institute’s mission is to promote a culture of donation in Brazil. It is the creator of DDD (National Donation Day) and coordinates the NGO certification initiative, aimed at recognizing and valuing organizations through standardized and verifiable processes regarding transparency and management. In 2023, it hosted the Best NGOs Awards, the largest award ceremony in the Brazilian Third Sector, in partnership with The World We Want Institute and Doar, and Prosas, a platform for selecting and monitoring social projects.
