We are convinced that our employees, consumers, clients, suppliers, and shareholders expect our growth to have a positive global impact.
Today, choosing responsible growth means pursuing and continuing to make the best possible choices, and focusing on health, safety and respect for the environment. It means improving the way we take care of our employees, the quality
of the meals we serve and the services we provide, as well as our actions as a corporate citizen. Better Tomorrow 2025 guides our actions and directs our progress on our most important social, societal and environmental issues.
