Every day, we dedicate ourselves to making people's lives more flavorful by offering freshness and nutrition through our brands. In the year we celebrate 80 years of history, we have decided to go further and bring our brands to add more flavor to local communities. Thus, we launched the Sumol Compal Volunteer Program, which aims to engage Our People in initiatives that promote well-being, citizenship, and solidarity.

Employees will have up to eight working hours per year to participate in activities that support causes related to nutrition, hydration, and well-being in the areas surrounding our main facilities.

In recent days, 18 employees took part in the first volunteer activities carried out in partnership with the Ronald McDonald Children's Foundation, a home that represents hope for many families with children undergoing hospital treatment. Earlier this year, we established a protocol for regular donations of food products to support them.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Ronald McDonald Children's Foundation for their warm welcome and for allowing us to take part in their daily efforts, to the volunteers who, beyond preparing meals, brought empathy, good energy, and their culinary skills, and to our administrators, Duarte Pinto and João Nuno, for their unconditional support and for inspiring our teams to make a difference!

This program will continue to bear fruit through initiatives carried out across the country, in the communities where we are present. A total of around 20 actions are planned for 2025.

We remain committed to making a difference in the lives of those closest to us.
