CTT and Sonae have complementary competences that will leverage the creation of an e-commerce platform to provide integrated services for the intermediation of commercial relations between sellers and consumers.
This initiative aims to benefit from the size and potential for widespread growth of e-commerce through (i) a positioning based on proximity, (ii) a simple, safe and convenient shopping experience, and (iii) a comprehensive online offering of products and services by a growing number of companies.
This project is part of the operational transformation strategy defined by the Company, with a strong focus on business diversification and development of the Express & Parcels growth lever.
The conclusion of this agreement is conditional on the authorisation of the competent competition authorities.
