IBERSOL | 2019 Sustainability Report

SOCIAL PERFORMANCE “Junior Achievement” As part of the “Porto de Futuro” project, the Junior Achievement Por- tugal Association challenges schools in the region by holding training programmes focused on entrepreneurship with support from partner companies, which provide training for students from year 1 through to year 9. In 2019, 2 volunteers from Ibersol trained 20 pupils from the António Nobre school cluster focusing on the theme “Family”. “Innovation Challenge” The Innovation Challenge challenges pupils to solve real-life prob- lems that companies are usually faced with. During the day, high school pupils are put into teams to work on these challenges, aided by volunteers from various consulting companies. In 2019, Ibersol was represented by 2 volunteers, who advised teams participating in the competition. Visits - “Open Kitchen” The kitchens of the brands that make up the Ibersol Group continue to regularly welcome visits from groups of children and adolescents, giving them the opportunity to take a closer look at the teams’ dy- namics and the discipline involved in food preparation procedures. Below are some of the visits that took place in 2019 as part of the “Open Kitchen” initiative. The Central Production Unit, where (mid to high-range) food is pre- pared on a large scale, is the perfect place to encourage learning and acquiring skills for students from hotel and cookery schools. This led the Unit to open its doors to the Porto School of Hospitality. These field trips are an exchange of synergies between both institutions and helps train students and integrate them into the job market. 74
