How many life stories make up History?

Port of Lobito, 15th March 1935. Aged twenty-one, Hans Sigmund Freudenthal disembarks in Angola, fleeing from a Europe hurtling towards implosion with the looming political, economic and humanitarian disaster that would change the direction of history while leaving wounds that still today have yet to heal.

In this work, we listen to the unpublished account of a German Jewish war refugee who transformed himself into the Portuguese João Freudenthal, an innovative entrepreneur and convinced Africanist, a resilient and visionary manager who insisted on surviving the ravages of his times through rebuilding his life and fortune in the Portuguese Overseas Empire.

The portrait of a decade of projects, events, activities and highly successful initiatives and the concrete results of the sustainable development policies, wide reaching and extending throughout Portugal, put into practice by some of the country’s largest companies (Sonae, EDP, Portugal Telecom, Grupo Jerónimo Martins, etc.).

With a clear focus on business sustainability, this book approaches this most diverse set of themes: not only operational efficiencies, protecting raw materials and managing risks but also the generation of value, corporate governance, stakeholder relationships and even through to recruitment and the retention of talent.
