MESSAGE FROM
THE PRESIDENT

Over the past 48 years, Fundação Dom Cabral has established itself as a benchmark school in management and the development of executives and organizations. We work with the firm purpose of being useful to society. We believe a school is guided by the social dynamics of its time, while simultaneously being responsible for illuminating new routes and better paths, promoting knowledge and expertise.

As we approach 50 years of history, we reaffirm our commitment and recognize that we have a continuous mission, which imposes on us the need to reflect on the challenges of current times and those that lie ahead.

The last century has been a period of intense innovation having had a profound impact on human life. In this period, humanity has developed information and communication technology, advanced in medicine and biotechnology, expanded human rights and democracy. However, these achievements have also brought new challenges such as the management of natural resources, cyber security, bioethics, social inclusion and global governance. The new times place new expectations and demands on private, public and social organizations. The leadership of the 21st century needs to reinterpret persistent dilemmas and create ways of thinking and acting that can lead us to more desirable futures. Organizations must reinvent themselves so that they are more than just means of economic production, but also agents of social well-being.

The FDC 50 Fund arises precisely from this reflection on the urgent need to imagine new possibilities and build better paths. It enables the expansion of educational power to develop skills and capacities, innovate business practices, create governance and cooperation formats needed to address the major global challenges of the next 50 years. FDC 50 is based on the belief in education as a transformative force for enabling positive impact initiatives and reducing barriers to the sustainable development of organizations and society.

FDC 50 is, above all, an invitation to those who believe in the power of people and the strength of education and are aware of the urgency of action.

Imagine, inspire and invest in building new possibilities and desirable futures.
