A EPPO Cidades Inteligentes é uma empresa com sede em Itu, interior de São Paulo, com mais de três décadas de atuação em saneamento básico: gestão integrada de resíduos, aterros sanitários, drenagem urbana, tratamento e distribuição de água e operação de estações de esgoto. Somos a empresa responsável pela construção do primeiro prédio público municipal da América Latina certificado pelo Green Building, prova de que é possível fazer diferente quando há comprometimento real com o que se acredita. Existimos porque o modelo linear de produção gera mais do que consegue absorver. Trabalhar com resíduos é lidar com as consequências desse modelo e decidir o que fazer com elas. Na EPPO, essa resposta tem sido técnica, sustentável e ética ao mesmo tempo. Empregamos majoritariamente trabalhadores de áreas urbanas periféricas e investimos na reintegração de pessoas em vulnerabilidade social. Condições dignas, desenvolvimento humano e relações equitativas são compromissos que antecederam qualquer certificação e seguem orientando nossas escolhas. Essa mesma lógica se reflete na governança: desde 2019 operamos com gestão descentralizada, baseada em Holacracia e Sociocracia, com decisões distribuídas entre papéis e círculos de autoridade clara, colocando as pessoas no centro do negócio.
