In June 2013, Naldo spoke out about the protest in Brazil, supporting the protestors, saying: "The people here love football. The protest is directed against politics and not against the FIFA World Cup itself. I think the protests are good and important. It is right to demonstrate for a fairer Brazil so that everyone is better off. Brazil needs more clinics and schools. More money has to flow into the social system." In March 2017, he was appointed as the integration sponsor of the Bundesliga Foundation.
