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.
