OUR OPERATIONS AND THE
community
THE SOCIAL IMPACT OF EACH OF OUR UNITS IN THE COMMUNITIES WHERE WE OPERATE ENTAILS THE CREATION OF FORMAL
EMPLOYMENT IN A COMPANY THAT OFFERS CONSTANT DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES, A WIDE RANGE OF PRODUCTS AT LOW
PRODUCTS -THUS ALLOWING THEM TO SAVE MONEY- AND THE OPPORTUNITY FOR LOCAL SUPPLIERS TO GROW WITH US. THESE
IMPACTS ARE ENRICHED THROUGH A COMMUNITY SUPPORT PROGRAM THAT IS ALIGNED WITH THE MISSION OF OUR COMPANY
IN EACH COUNTRY WHERE WE ARE PRESENT, LETTING US DIRECT THE STRENGTHS OF THE BUSINESS IN FAVOR OF THESE
COMMUNITIES AND AFFIRM THAT WE CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE FAMILIES IN ALL THE
COUNTRIES WHERE OUR COMPANY OPERATES.
The community support program is based on defined criteria, in terms of the
strategic alignment of the business and its capacity to generate value:
a. Supporting nutrition through food banks. Given the fact that food items
represent 60% of our company, it is fundamental for countries with high
food poverty rates to make good use of any merchandise that is suitable
for human consumption but not suitable for sale. Moreover, associates have
priceless experience that serves to offer advice to food Banks in the efficient
handling of food products.
We have worked daily with more than 330 food banks and institutions
that receive and distribute food products and general merchandise to those
who most need, benefiting over 160,000 people. In collaboration with other
companies in Central America, six food banks have been set up in Guatemala,
Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and El Salvador.
In Mexico we focused on reinforcing data management through a new
system and processes on the social impact of donations we have given
said institutions, thus enabling us to improve productivity and lend a hand
towards achieving greater professionalization.
