The controlling family shareholder, the
directors and the officers of Bonduelle unite for the common good
during the Covid-19 crisis
The controlling family shareholder, the
directors and the officers of Bonduelle want to support those who
have suffered the most from the crisis: thus the Bonduelle SCA
General Partner, Pierre and Benoît Bonduelle SAS, will propose to
the December 3, 2020, Shareholders General Meeting in respect of
the dividend for the 2019-2020 fiscal year, to reduce by 20% the
usual group's distribution ratios, which proposal is supported by
the Supervisory Board. The members of the Supervisory Board of
Bonduelle SCA and the directors of Bonduelle SA have decided to
waive 20% of their attendance fees. In addition, the members of the
Chief Executive Board have cut their fixed compensation by 20%
during the quarantine.
These sums help to fund the bonus being given to
the employees who have continued to staff the plants and have
demonstrated a proud commitment to their work, setting aside their
legitimate concerns in order to guarantee that everyone has access
to food. The sums collected also help offset the lost wages of the
lowest-earning employees, and they go toward assisting employees
who are facing challenging medical situations.
These actions show that the civic engagement of
the group and its teams in combating the coronavirus extends beyond
the role of a responsible player in the food chain. This engagement
is visible both inside and outside the company, at all levels, and
it aims to touch as many people as possible, both on an ad hoc
basis in response to emergencies and over the long term when
different situations require it.
For everyone, by everyone, and around the world,
initiatives and joint efforts continue to be created and organized
to best respond to local needs and the daily challenges of
healthcare workers. In the United States, Canada, France and
elsewhere in Europe, local community-oriented efforts are
proliferating to help those who are most in need. American families
in difficulty, Food Banks of Quebec, Lille students, homeless
people in the Île-de-France French region and charities of all
types, among other examples, have received product donations thanks
to our employees' extraordinary dedication.
In addition, from mid-May to the end of August,
Bonduelle is offering free access to Cabaletta salad vending
machines in the hospitals in Lille, France, giving healthcare
workers round-the-clock, unrestricted access to a balanced
diet.
One thing is certain: although the Covid-19
crisis will have created challenges, it will also have offered,
however, an opportunity to resoundingly affirm the values of
solidarity and community integration that the employees of the
Bonduelle Group so cherish.
