Over its three years, the program distributed 45 kits in the munici- palities of Três Lagoas, Selvíria and Aparecida do Taboado. In the latter, the technology was implemented in an institution that cares for un- derprivileged children and adoles- cents, with the organic produce be- ing consumed by the very program participants. In February 2016, Eldorado started acquiring organic produce planted in the settlement Pontal do Faia in Três Lagoas for use in the factory restaurant. In June, the company also began to buy produce from the Alecrim settlement in Selvíria for the restaurants in its forestry units in Inocência and Selvíria.

At the Canoas settlement, a limestone donation to enrich the soil was also concluded. In 2017, five protected cultivation units will be provided for producers in the Pontal do Faia and Alecrim settlements. Practical benefits The social matrix results are used in the definition of company strategy to drive positive impacts, reduce, and mitigate negative ones. Each stage of every project focused on local development is monitored and perception of its effectiveness is measured among the communities involved. Specific action plans are developed in case any need for adjustment or im- provement is identified. One of the measures undertaken by Eldorado in 2016 offered pro- fessional training in the Garcias district of Três Lagoas, meeting a community demand. In partnership with Senai, a 360-hour course on brickwork and building was offered for residents. At the end of the program, participants were given the mission of remodeling the local community center, where the main leisure and entertainment activi- ties in Garcia take place and which could be used for future training courses. The company enabled the execution of the course and pro- vided the building materials for the remodeling of the center, inaugu- rated in August 2016. > Infrastructure improvements at the school Escolinha Master Clube Recanto do Galo, in Três Lagoas, which organizes sporting activities for underprivileged children; > Vocational baking and dressmaking courses in the Garcias district of Três Lagoas; > Donation of vehicle to transport organic produce from the PAIS project in the Pontal do Faia settlement; > Donation of a school bus to transport children in the Selvíria rural zone; > Donation of a bus for the Três Lagoas Court, aimed at ensuring access to justice for low- income families in the city; > Donation of materials for the old people's home Lar de Idosos - Grupo da Fraterni- dade Espírita José Xavier, in Três Lagoas. > Donation of an ICU ambulance to the Santa Rita do Pardo Municipal Health Department; > Expansion of the clinical area in the Hospi- tal Auxiliadora, in Três Lagoas.
