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. 333 FOOD BANKS AND INSTITUTIONS 160,000 PEOPLE BENEFITED THROUGHOUT THE REGION Å Ì Ò Ì Ò ¡ Ø Å Ì Ò ï Ï 2013 Financial and Social Responsibility Report 46 46
