These commitments, whose goals must be achieved by 2025, are:

- Train and employ 25 thousand people from underrepresented and low-income groups in technology

To top it off, in August 2021, the company became the first Brazilian foodtech to sign the UN Global Compact (United Nations), reaffirming its commitment to aligning its strategies and operations with the entity's principles of sustainability, education and social inclusion and to following the Sustainable Development Goals —the goals set to resolve the planet's main social and environmental challenges by 2030.
In this first year of commitments, iFood invested R$15 million in various actions to promote quality education and combat climate change. Now, the next step is to make these projects grow on a large scale and increase their positive impact on society and the environment — see what they are below.
