M.a.s Strategy
Since its beginnings, Moderna Alimentos has maintained a deep-rooted commitment to creating value not only for its shareholders, but also for society, incorporating community practices, ethical business conduct, and the comprehensive care of our personnel.
As actors in a dynamic business environment and our challenging self-criticism, in 2023 we adopted a more holistic approach to sustainability. We focus on identifying and managing the risks and impacts in our organization; in the same way that we execute programs that contribute positively to the environment and our key stakeholders.
This is how our m.a.s (Sustainable Moderna Alimentos) strategy emerges, focused on strengthening our relationships with customers, employees, communities and ensuring a comprehensive approach to our stakeholder groups.
Materiality
In 2023, we executed our fourth materiality study, which allowed us to identify the most relevant and significant sustainability topics that affect our business, society, and the environment, which allows us to make more informed decisions and develop effective strategies to be agents of change and influence in the environment.
