Management Report 2020

Management Report 2020 SLC Agrícola Actions to combat covid-19 pandemic All our 16 farms remained operational during even the most critical months of the covid-19 pandemic in Brazil. The production of grains was essential for keeping food production chains functioning in or- der to avoid the risk of shortages and of expanding the public health and economic crisis on all continents. Our operational continuity was ensured by effective and rapid ac- tions taken to ensure the health of employees and of all other people accessing our facilities. We drafted a guide to combat the disease that was distributed to managers at all units and established rigid protocols to be followed for avoiding outbreaks. The various initia- tives included testing employees for covd-19, measuring body tem- perature and evaluating the health conditions of truck drivers and other visitors, intensifying cleaning and hygiene routines in the workplace and making available masks, gloves and hand sanitizer. We adapted our systems so that corporate teams could work from home and provided training to all employees at our headquarters in Porto Alegre on the correct use of work tools during the physical distancing period. In April, we will launch the Mental Health Cam- paign, which is an internal initiative with lectures by external con- sultants on topics that cover the emotional phases of crisis manage- ment and combatting adverse effects, such as stress, anguish, fear and anxiety. In October 2020, we started procedures for resuming on-site activities in our offices, with the return of employees who volunteer and are not part of a risk group. In this first moment, only 25% of all professionals was authorized to return to our offices, which were adapted to avoid crowding and transmission risk. To support civil society in combatting the spread of the novel coronavirus, we donated, through the SLC Institute, R$1.6 million to 18 cities in six different states. Created in 2020, the SLC Institute consolidates the allo- cation of funds for private social investment (learn more on page 59). 18
