Colleagues at Rosa Branca, our flour brand in Brazil, recently organised a charity event in the riverside #community of Palmeiras on the banks of the Acará river, 70km away from Belém, the capital of the Pará state. The initiative, named “Fornada de Carinho” (Batch of Affection in English), aimed to provide support to the community through the donation of basic food baskets and activities such as a cooking course, a product tasting and a lecture on awareness and safety in river transport. It was an enriching and rewarding experience for our colleagues in #Brazil, and was a great example of our commitment to making a positive impact in the local communities we operate.

Colleagues from Viterra Italy recently organised a beach volleyball tournament as part of its Vitality programme. Sixteen colleagues gathered after work at a nearby sports centre to enjoy an evening of volleyball and teambuilding. The activity ended with a winning team and a celebration dinner. Following the footsteps of our Rotterdam office, Viterra #Italy established its #Vitality programme last year to cultivate colleagues’ physical and mental #wellbeing through sports and other outdoor initiatives. So far, colleagues have been able to participate in activities such as yoga sessions and kayaking. The programme will continue to offer new experiences each month for everyone to enjoy together.
