Context

In both the Brazil and Australia divisions, all employees benefit from collective bargaining agreements, ensuring tailored employment contracts that encompass salary adjustments, benefits, and other specifics. Similarly, in the Latam division, 100% of employees in Uruguay are covered by such agreements, while in Argentina and Paraguay, the coverage stands at 93% and 40%, respectively. Employees not covered by agreements in these countries are governed by individual contracts in accordance with local labor laws. Meanwhile, in Colombia, all contracts adhere to local labor legislation, as collective bargaining agreements are not in place.
* In Brazilian units, 100% of employees and non-employee workers are covered by collective bargaining agreements which have terms relating to salary levels and frequency of salary payments. In Paraguay, this percentage is 39%. For the other countries, the indicator is not applicable.

We also rely on donations made through the Minerva Solidário, Alimentando a Solidariedade and Banco de Alimentos campaigns, among others.

We are also continuing the work of updating the Stakeholder Engagement Plan throughout 2023, with a view to making a diagnosis of the current relationship scenario with our stakeholders.

Context

Potential impacts related to the communities surrounding Minerva Foods operations include, but are not limited to, the following: economic effects in cases of temporary or permanent shutdowns, given that our employees and the majority of our suppliers are locally hired; the utilization of natural resources for production in our facilities, which can indirectly affect the local population through resource scarcity or pollution; environmental impacts resulting from chemical spills and untreated effluent discharges; and the impact on communities due to truck traffic, employee commuting, as well as odors and noise from our processes. Key programs developed in 2023: Open Doors – Children’s Day, Educate to Transform, Inclusion of People with Disabilities, Trawler Project, Cleaning Actions and Support for Education. Over 21,000 adults and children were impacted, over 7,500 items of clothing collected and over 27 tons of protein donated.
