New for 2026 is B3 Social’s support for the OBMEP Mirim Teachers’ Olympiad – an initiative aimed at valuing teacher training and strengthening the role of teachers in the mathematical learning process in the early years.

Other initiatives

In addition to education, the climate agenda has also gained prominence in B3 Social’s work. In partnership with Todos Pela Educação, the organization launched, in 2025, a set of 25 recommendations aimed at preparing public schools for extreme climate events, focusing on safety, infrastructure and strengthening the resilience of education networks.

Another milestone in the period was the first “Ring a Bell for Philanthropy”, an initiative that brought together 75 companies in a mobilization to encourage a culture of giving in the country. B3 Social also expanded its corporate volunteering activities and reinforced the alignment of its social goals with B3’s ESG strategy.

“The 2025 results demonstrate that B3 continues to strengthen its role as an agent of transformation in the country, by connecting social impact to business strategy and mobilizing companies and partners to tackle Brazil’s structural challenges,” Fabiana Prianti, head of B3 Social, told the column.

In all, the resources made it possible to reach more than 11 million people across the country.
