- 4 Cargill 2020 Annual Report Message from the president GRI 102-14 We responded to the challenge brought on the efficiency of Brazilian producers by processing a much greater quantity of grains than expected We have a lot to celebrate with our victories along 2020, an exceptional year for our company in terms of results. However, it is inconceivable to celebrate without stopping and looking at the unprecedented global scenario we faced in 2020 extending into 2021, caused by the covid-19 outbreak. The pandemic, which caused thousands of lives to be lost and degraded social and economic conditions, totally changed our way of living and working. We deeply regret the lost lives. We crossed highly complex moments, but kept our faith in our principles of placing people first and doing what is right, while we worked non-stop to nourish the world in a safe, responsible and sustainable fashion, as can be seen throughout this report. Essential activity Amidst the pandemic, the Brazilian agribusiness achieved a record grain production volume and the country reinforced its importance as one of the main food producers of the world. We were able to respond to the challenge brought on by Brazilian farmers' efficiency, and processed an amount of grains much greater than expected. The increase in total originated, processed and sold volume throughout the year led to a growth in revenue of 38% when compared to the previous year. The financial results in 2020, ended on December 31, indicate a net operational revenue of R$ 68.6 billion, with R$ 918 million invested in the country along the year. Our commitment and performance were only possible due to the dedication of our employees, whose health and safety are our main priority. Even with the company working non- stop, we kept our employees safe and extended care to the communities connected to our units throughout the country. We could not interrupt our operations, since we act in the food sector, considered an essential activity. Many people at Cargill fought to keep operations thriving, which contributed to the food safety by keeping a steady supply of our prod- ucts throughout the country and the world. We had to face a global tragedy such as the pandemic to recall that there is a social function in the resilience of the food chain and how we depend on it. Commitment to sustainability The 2020 challenges demonstrated the importance of sustainability for corporate resilience. Among our strategic pillars, sustainable practices have become a decisive matter and source of differentiation. At Cargill, social and environ- mental issues are evaluated and considered in all initiatives developed by our business. These are a fundamental part of our strategy and impact our financial result. The pandemic taught us that digital transformation and collaboration have a critical importance for the safety and well-being of our society
