Operations during a pandemic.

After the initial shock of the pandemic, we soon found ourselves surrounded by many doubts and very few answers. Only one certainty prevailed: that it was necessary to continue, to move forward. After all, our activity fell under the category of essential services.

The big question was how to do this in a way that would guarantee the safety of our most important asset, our employees?

At our factory in Monte Alto (SP), we adopted some important measures such as keeping employees from the at-risk group away from work, as well as pregnant women who have been staying home since the beginning of the pandemic; we made more buses available for commuting, thus facilitating the recommended social distancing. In addition, we increased the operating shifts at the factory and also in the cafeteria to avoid crowding. We reinforced hygiene procedures and offered an additional amount to help with household budgets. And to assist our customers, we postponed payments for 60 days.

This is a time for solidarity, for partnerships, and for knowing that when all this is over, we will emerge stronger and more confident that together, we will always go further.
