31 Cargill 2020 Annual Report Innovation and digital transformation Material topic: Responsible management and innovation in agricultural practices Whether to integrate businesses and sustainability, help the world and our clients to prosper or produce more with less resources, innovation at Cargill provides the means to face some of the greatest challenges of the global food system. Our clients seek the technical expertise and global presence of the company to help them make their products and pro- duction feasible, promote more efficient processes, connect themselves to the supply chains globally or find a solution that becomes a pioneering innovation. With our strategy, we want to avoid the time and cost of reinvention and allow solutions to be more quickly applied by them. We have developed ways of working to leverage both our global expertise as well as our regional focus. The Latin American Innovation Center, installed in Campinas/SP, is connected to the other 13 food technology and innovation centers that Cargill has throughout the world. Having com- plementary competencies, all of them are available to our clients that intend to accelerate the development process of new products or processes. Since 2018, we have invested in Brazil approximately US$ 150 million to acquire new technologies. We have mod- ernized the Human Resources systems, from recruiting to performance evaluation, to simplify access to our 10,000 employees in Brazil, we have updated our management, manufacturing, transportation and distribution systems so that our clients have a better experience in the relationship with the company and a forecast of its transactions and we have reinforced the IT area team, which currently works with high performance systems and teams. These investments have also been applied to renew our cyber attack protection system. We count on the coupling of innovation with new technologies to deal with challenges related to the commitments we have taken on: transparency and safety in producing food for con- sumers; responsible trade, sustainable nutrition; and farmer prosperity. We consider that the technological innovations not only allow, but also change market dynamics. We know it is impossible for a single company, technology or platform to carry out this transformation alone. This is why we act in partnerships and whenever possible seek collaborative and open-code technologies. We share our lessons learned so that the entire innovation and new technologies ecosystem can benefit and contribute to leverage agriculture and food worldwide. SAUR
