Every Step Counts

Learn about the history of this solidarity movement, now in its 4th edition

From internal pilot to national movement

The Every Step Counts initiative was born in 2021, during the Covid-19 pandemic, in the form of an internal challenge to Galp employees to combine physical exercise with the social purpose of supporting those who need it most. 
The simple mechanics of participation still apply today: for every kilometre walked, run or cycled, Galp delivers a meal to vulnerable families supported by the Rede de Emergência Alimentar (Emergency Food Network). Thanks to the "steps" of its employees, Galp was able to donate 10,000 meals in the space of a month.
Before long, the initiative "took to the streets", urging all Portuguese to join this solidarity movement. Between April and July 2021, the 1st edition of Every Step Counts reached the mark of one million meals.
