MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
With great pride, we present our second Sustainability Report in accordance with the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) methodology for our operations in Honduras, thus fulfilling one of the most important commitments on the road to sustainability: accountability.
This report shows our company’s commitment to continuous improvement as a new way of doing business. Also, it displays our environmental, social, and economic achievements and goals.
I would like to thank everyone who is a part of this great family for their commitment and effort. The actions reported here would not be possible without their daily contribution.
In the last two years, the environment and society have presented us with new challenges, demanding innovation, increasingly strengthening the quality of our products, opening new markets worldwide, caring for the well-being of our employees and communities, respecting human rights, and the protection and conservation of the environment.
At Dinant, we are firmly committed to generating a positive impact in each of the communities where we operate. During the reporting period, we strengthened our Sustainability Management System throughout the organization, attaining significant achievements for the development of our country.
We received multiple national and international recognitions, such as our incorporation as a full member of the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights Initiative. In addition, through the Occupational Health Program, we inaugurated our first Honduran Social Security Institute (IHSS)-certified lactation room at the Snack Plant in San Pedro Sula, thus creating safe and healthy environments for the benefit of our employees and their families.
In our Agribusiness Division, we are developing good practices and principles from production to marketing. We displaced 99% of fossil fuels in the oil palm extraction plants by increasing the use of renewable energy from 79% to 84%.
As a company, we assume a conscious, responsible, and fair role with our environment, promoting and supporting education, decent work, equal opportunities, inclusion, and spaces for integral growth for our employees, communities, suppliers, independent oil
palm fruit producers and other stakeholders.
Ethics, integrity, and corporate responsibility continue to be the basis of our actions to build a more sustainable future.
I encourage everyone who is a part of the Dinant Family: communities, strategic allies, consumers, suppliers, contractors, and others, to continue working as a team, to be agents of change, and to commit to transforming our environment for the benefit of society.
