Our commitment is reflected in our support for a wide range of cultural expressions — from theatre to circus, from cinema to the visual arts. Through strategic partnerships, we invest in projects that enrich cultural production and strengthen the connection between art and community.
In 2015, in collaboration with Teatro Viriato — of which we are patrons — and Teatro do Vestido, we presented the play Viajantes Solitários ("Lone Travellers”), a unique production that gives voice to the life stories of lorry drivers. Based on carefully gathered testimonies, this piece transformed personal experiences into poetic drama, offering a deep and sensitive portrayal of lives shaped by constant movement.
The performance captures the essence of a life lived across kilometres of distance, transient nights, and an intimate knowledge of roads, motorways, roadside restaurants, and temporary lodgings. More than a narrative about physical displacement, Viajantes Solitários is a portrait of Portuguese restlessness: the desire to leave, the longing to return, and the relentless need to keep moving forward.

The WellCare Project, developed by Patinter, was created to promote the overall wellbeing of our employees, aligning health, balance and satisfaction. With this programme, we aim to provide a safe, healthy and inspiring working environment, where each employee feels valued and in harmony with their personal and professional goals.
Inspired by the World Health Organization’s definition of health — "a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” — WellCare embraces a holistic approach to each individual. Our commitment is to support employees in an ongoing process of life enhancement, by encouraging healthy habits, positive behaviours and attitudes that help unlock their full potential.
The project is structured around four key areas of action:
Curative and Preventive Health: Ensuring the necessary care to prevent illness and support recovery when needed.
Ergonomics and Physiotherapy: Implementing solutions that improve posture and comfort in the workplace, reducing the risk of injury.
Workplace Exercise: Promoting targeted exercises to relieve tension and improve wellbeing throughout the working day.
Psychology and Nutrition: Providing emotional support and dietary guidance to foster a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
These focus areas have been carefully selected to ensure that each employee has access to resources and tools that support a higher quality of life — both professionally and personally.


As one of Europe’s leading players in the transport sector, Patinter embraces road safety not merely as a set of measures, but as a deeply rooted culture — a mindset that shapes our daily operations. We are constantly assessing our performance and seeking initiatives that help reduce both the frequency and severity of road accidents. Our commitment is clear: to protect what matters most — the lives and wellbeing of our employees and all those who share the road with them.
This investment in safety has consistently proven to be a successful strategy. Over the years, we have seen a steady decline in accidents and related costs, reinforcing the credibility of the service we provide and strengthening the trust placed in us by clients, partners and the wider community.
"We believe that implementing a Road Traffic Safety Management System, and achieving ISO 39001 certification, allows us to formalise and structure this commitment. It also sets an example for others in the industry. We strive to make a positive contribution to the image of the transport sector by promoting a safety-first culture and elevating the value of the professional driver.”
