Separated by distance, but united by the heart
We believe that putting your heart into everything we do, has never made so much sense. Ours are committed to doing the best right now. But while all this is not over, we need to put into practice, in the now, the world we want to live, starting with ourselves. In this first phase, we are providing approximately BRL 5.4 million to contribute to two major causes: fighting hunger and supporting public health.

We also have the support of Ibratec, one of the largest packaging companies in Latin America for packaging development.

FOR OUR
WORKERS
We are a food industry and, more than ever, we are committed to the country in the face of the coronavirus crisis: our products need to reach consumers' table every day. And, to answer this call, part of our teams remains strong in the work in our Units and in the market. All to ensure that our quality, flavors and energy help the Brazilian people to fight this battle that belongs to all of us.
Coronavirus crisis management commission
Every day, a multidisciplinary team meets to define prevention strategies and initiatives that have the least impact on the areas' work routine, in addition to receiving and analyzing doubts from employees.
Alcohol in gel (sanitizer)
All our Units expanded the common points of alcohol in gel, and the product was also made available in the work areas and in the trucks and vehicles of our fleet.
Reduced trips
One of the first measures adopted by the company was to reduce business and training travels, congresses, etc. Since travel has been reduced, employees are conducting alignments and virtual meetings.
Working from home
All to reduce the number of people circulating in the company: employees who perform functions that can be performed from a distance and have internet at home now work from home.
Health monitoring
Setting of health monitoring protocols for all employees, under the leadership of the company's Corporate Medicine service, with referral of symptomatic professionals to telemedicine appointments, exams and hospital follow-up, if necessary.
Distribution of fabric masks and face shields
Fabric masks and face shields have been delivered to all employees since March. Priority was given to professionals active outside the home, that is, who are working on site at our Units, in activities related to the distribution of products and supplying the market. All others will be covered as they return to physical work at the company.
Taking the temperature
All professionals who come to our Units - own or third parties - undergo a temperature testing procedure with an infrared thermometer, 100% safe. Those with a temperature above 37.5o are advised to return to their residence for the necessary medical guidance.
Environment disinfection
Adoption of new disinfection routines for internal and external areas, with an effective action agent against the virus, intensification of daily disinfection routes for door handles, doors, handrails, guard rails and other contact surfaces inside and outside the factory environment, and increasing the frequency of sanitizing and washing equipment and production utensils.
In order to honor our workers who are on the front line, we created an internal campaign "Our heroes don't wear capes" and invite their families to leave messages of encouragement and recognition for their effort so that Brazil does not stop.
