Sustainability Report 2020
About Portobello
Letter from the Chairman
of the Board of Directors
The consolidation of the Group's Busi-
ness Units, combined with the prioritiza-
tion of Portobello's position in the Retail
market and its ability to adapt quickly
and consistently to the adverse external
context caused by the pandemic, trans-
lated into significant results for the com-
pany in 2020.
The pandemic surprised us in March
last year and our attention has turned
to the protection and safety of peo-
ple, always intending to preserve jo-
bs, collaborating with the communities
where we operate, and implementing
safe alternatives to serve our customers
and partners.
We learned countless important les-
sons last year and, guided by our
purpose of transforming environments
and thrilling people, we made advan-
ces in the digitalization of the busi-
nesses, accelerating the connection
with our customers. We will continue
to overcome the challenges of the
pandemic, aiming to grow continuou-
sly, always together.
In 2020, we also advanced in the
company's governance by creating ma-
nagement committees connected to the
Board of Directors, with emphasis on
the Sustainability Committee. The ob-
jectives of a more professional manage-
ment in the Sustainability scope include
guiding the strategic vision, integrating
the Units' actions, and promoting a mo-
re effective and structured action to ge-
nerate positive impacts on the environ-
ment, society, and business.
Transparency and consistency, aligned
with ESG principles, should promo-
te greater visibility and accelerate the
actions for sustainability. We believe in
this evolution and, in addition to the in-
formation in this report, our commitment
to transparency is permanent.
I thank you all, employees and part-
ners, for the commitment to building a
safer and more humane environment
this year, which was such a challenging
year. And I invite each one to make,
together, the future as sustainable as
possible, as quickly as possible.
