Promoting volunteerism among our associates. In Mexico and Central
America most of our associates are living in the same cities where they
work. This represents an opportunity and a responsibility for the company
of continuing its support for communities and, at the same time, influencing
our associates to be better and more committed citizens through a volunteer
program developed in each unit throughout the region. The program
encompasses different activities.

Providing assistance in natural disasters. We operate in 541 cities, all
of them potential sites for natural disasters. Therefore, in the case of an
incident of this type, our first priority is the safety of our associates and
our customers, reestablishing operations and with it the supply of products
needed by all, and using our logistics network and the proximity with its
customers to multiply help for disaster victims.
During the disasters in Mexico caused by hurricanes Ingrid and Manuel, we set
up 887 collection centers in our stores. With the Kilo by Kilo campaign, the
Foundation matched the 944 tons of food items donated by our customers,
thereby channeling 1,888 tons to the Mexican Red Cross. Our associates
affected by the hurricanes received support from the company, others worked
as volunteers with the Red Cross, and the use of the logistics network was
fundamental to these relief efforts, in addition to the response capacity of the
Center for Operations Continuity; with representatives from all areas of the
company, this center operates continuously during a disaster, ensuring the supply
of products to the stores in the disaster areas.
