Bringing teams together, aligning strategies and shaping the future. With this purpose, Alves Bandeira held the 9th edition of the AB Meeting 2026 at the end of February.

In a setting outside the usual work environment, the day was marked by reflection, knowledge sharing and strategic alignment, reinforcing a common vision: placing innovation at the center of Grupo Alves Bandeira’s activities.

In addition to the Management team, the meeting brought together Support Line, Commercial, Non-Fuel, Marketing, Audit and Operations teams, as well as area managers and service station team leaders. It was a cross-functional moment that once again united different areas and skills around a shared goal: to grow in an integrated, sustainable and consistent way.

"This meeting is essential to align our teams, on the one hand, with the Group’s culture and vision and, on the other, with Alves Bandeira’s strategic plan. Only with engaged and motivated teams will we be able to continue growing in a solid and sustainable manner,” highlighted José Fialho, Retail Director.

The morning session began with a welcome message from Rui Bandeira, Group President and CEO of Alves Bandeira, followed by José Fialho’s presentation of the results achieved and the main strategic projects underway, underlining the company’s ongoing commitment to the evolution and modernization of the sector.

Throughout the day, dynamic workshops were held focusing on identifying critical success factors and presenting new strategic initiatives. Each session concluded with an interactive quiz that tested the knowledge acquired and encouraged debate around future challenges.

The much-anticipated "Oscars Night” was once again one of the highlights of the event, recognizing performance across various categories and celebrating not only the goals achieved, but also the dedication, proactivity and team spirit that characterize one of Portugal’s 50 largest economic groups.

AB Meeting 2026 once again reaffirmed itself as a key annual milestone in Alves Bandeira’s internal dynamics — a moment of alignment, recognition and strategic ambition that demonstrates that the Group’s future continues to be built on vision, innovation and, above all, people.
