MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTORS
We have also initiated in Spain a
Project of expansion of the brand
Pizza Hut.
And because growth comes with added
responsibility towards the environment,
we achieved a significant reduction in
power consumption throughout 2016,
keeping in mind the comfort of the
customers and the employees, as well
as productivity gains, and with savin-
gs to all restaurants in the Group. We
experienced a 5% cut in global con-
sumption of electricity. Equally relevant
is the fact that the Group was able to
avoid the emission, in total and indi-
rectly, of approx. 11.5 thousand tons of
CO2 throughout the year.
From a social perspective, Ibersol
worked hand in hand with the civil
society once more to promote a new
edition of the fund raising campaign:
‘Thanks to Many we Make Smile those
Who Need the Most’. This initiative is
developed through a partnership with
the Portuguese Federation of Food
Banks Against Hunger, which aims to
engage people in fighting the scourge
of hunger in Portugal and give support
to the population in need which is ser-
ved by 21 Food Banks Against Hunger,
both in the mainland and the islands.
The Board of Directors welcomes the
record achieved of 58 thousand euro
raised with the support of our custo-
mers and de dedication of all the tea-
ms! Thank you all for this success!
And this is the course we want to
follow: anchored in a strategic mana-
gement capable of steering the busi-
ness towards sustainable development,
based in processes defined having in
mind a responsible risk management,
transparent forms of communication
and relationships, always focused in
serving the customers, as leaders of
the modern foodservice industry.
