Coping with the pandemic
The emergence and evolution of the Covid-19 pandemic highlighted the rele-
vance of health as a fundamental theme of Brazil's sustainable development.
Aware of its responsibility as an active agent of the sector, Viveo quickly ex-
panded and adapted its operations to support the country's health institutions
in serving the population. Among the actions developed in this regard, there are:
Production of its own gel alcohol and masks: When the pandemic be-
gan, in 2020, gel alcohol was not part of Viveo's product portfolio, but be-
gan manufacturing it to support tackling the pandemic. Disposable masks
however were imported from China. Production of the Company's own
masks allowed it to maintain supply with fair and adequate prices to the
domestic market - high demand led to a rise in prices of the order of 20
times on the global market. Between 2020 and 2021, to meet the demand
with agility, Viveo invested R$ 2.9 million, including the importation of Ger-
man machinery with a production capacity of 3 million masks per month.
By the end of 2021, the monthly production of these items, by Cremer,
reached the mark of 5.9 million.
Donation to health institutions: In 2020, the totality of masks and gel
alcohol from the first week of production of these items was donated to
healthcare institutions to help fight the new coronavirus. Several other
donations were later made, which totaled about R$ 1.55 million by the end
of 2021.
Strengthening logistics operations: To ensure capillarity and agility in
serving the population, we expanded our distribution centers and fleet of
trucks, essential to deliver essential items at times when air traffic was re-
stricted at the beginning of the Pandemic, there was an 80% reduction
in domestic flights. In that period, we also chartered planes from China to
import 13 million surgical masks and deliver them to more than 110 hospi-
tals in all Brazilian states.
Prevention support: Through Cremer, we offer vending machines for masks
and gel alcohol at Metro stations in São Paulo at affordable prices in order
to expand the preventive care of the population in the largest city in the
country.
Import of anesthetics: In the most acute phase of the pandemic in Brazil,
experienced in the first half of 2021, we organized a robust supply opera-
tion in the national market with the import of almost 2.5 million units of an-
esthetics, which were in shortage and were fundamental to the intubation
procedure of patients. Navigating a highly complex process. Viveo was able
to import these medicines from Europe in record time (10 days), through
aircraft with refrigerated containers, fulfilling all the special licenses neces-
sary for this type of operation.
