Vision
CONDURIL develops its activity in the field of Civil Engineering and its main goal, in both technical and economic terms, is to become one of the best Portuguese engineering companies (and to be recognised by the market as such), and, at the same time, to possess the following characteristics:

To be a great company at a national scale, both in technical and economic terms, capable of responding to any work of civil engineering both in the domestic market and abroad.

To be, in terms of the total number of active people, at a national level, a medium sized company, flexible and capable of responding to different market demands, and, with great technical ability be able to, above all else, have a solid base of support for its activities abroad.

Mission
Our mission is to create lasting wealth for our shareholders and the sustainability of the best working conditions for our employees, as well as their satisfaction, as the first vector of our social responsibility.

Values
We believe that we can only create value and wealth, that is, win in the right way. In other words: with honesty, confidence and accountability based on a culture of Integrity, which means: Honesty, Transparency, Justice and a strict adherence to the rules and regulations; these are our values and the foundations of all our principles.

CONDURIL Academy
CONDURIL Academy is a vocational training centre in the area of Civil Engineering and Public Works, duly accredited by the bodies that are responsible for vocational training in the countries it operates in. This academy is present in Angola since 2009, and in Mozambique since 2016. Its activity is fully funded by Conduril - Engenharia, S.A.

Although it does not receive any government subsidies by choice, the CONDURIL Academy works in strict and permanent collaboration with the Ministries of Education in Angola and Mozambique, as a facilitator in the process of literacy and school acceleration for its employees. This academy will continue its existence as long as CONDURIL may sustain its activity. It has survived and existed within a network of cooperative, interdependent and transversal work between all the departments that form CONDURIL.

The valuation of its human capital was always assumed as a priority for CONDURIL. In a specific context, such as Angola and Mozambique, with high illiteracy rates and low academic degree rates, the work basis of the CONDURIL Academy is to promote free access to an internal system of education and vocational training opportunities, generating the development of the human potential of our workers and their families.

CONDURIL believes that education/training is a structuring element of a country’s social and economic evolution, and, in fact, the CONDURIL Academy has a decisive role in its social responsibility policy and contributions it provides to the societies where it is integrated.

Scholarships
In 2019, the CONDURIL Scholarship Programme for Higher Education was started, which is intended for the children of Angolan and Mozambican employees, with more than 5 years of seniority, recognised professional performance and with a precarious economic situation. 10 scholarships were awarded for the 2019 academic year and in the next years, CONDURIL estimates the award of 12 scholarships for each new academic year.

Conduril Pension Fund
In 1989, the Conduril Pension Fund was created in Portugal, fully funded by the company, for the employees who retire and comply with the By-laws, increasing the retirement pension of each employee up to 22,5% of the last salary earned.

Since its foundation, in 1959, that quality is an essential principle for Conduril - Engenharia, S.A.

It is in this context that, in 1974, the LCC - Conduril’s Central Laboratory is created. At the time, it was considered an innovative internal system for quality control. In 2001, the laboratory obtains the accreditation by IPAC - Portuguese Institute for Accreditation. This accreditation includes several tests in soils, aggregates and concrete.

In addition to the technical coordination of several of CONDURIL’s work laboratories in Portugal and support to foreign laboratories, the LCC also performs tests and studies for external clients.

The technical competence and impartiality in test performance is ensured by the accreditation according to the standard NP EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005. The LCC’s activity is developed based on continuous improvement, in order to always meet the expectations of its clients.
