This endorsement confirms that the company's practices and procedures adhere to the highest standards of health and safety protocols for its employees. It also verifies compliance with the guidelines and advice issued by health authorities, significantly minimizing the risk of virus transmission. Costa Food Meat has been awarded a certification for its COVID-19 response strategies by AENOR, recognizing the effectiveness and proper implementation of its measures. This certification underscores Costa Food Meat's adherence to the health and safety regulations recommended by the Ministry of Health for the prevention and hygiene during the COVID-19 pandemic. The certification process is guided by the latest advice from both national and international bodies, demanding a comprehensive reassessment of risk management related to COVID-19\. The audit includes an evaluation of the company's specific protocols for managing this virus and their execution. From the onset of the emergency declaration, Costa Food Meat has maintained its operations with a heightened sense of responsibility, ensuring the continuous supply of food to the public. This has necessitated the enhancement of safety and hygiene protocols, in alignment with the guidance from health authorities and international bodies, to protect the health of its employees, suppliers, and customers. To this end, Costa Food Meat has developed and enacted various protocols within its facilities during the different stages of the emergency. These measures include prevention, response, and lockdown procedures; education for employees on health authority guidelines to protect themselves and others; temperature screenings; an increase in disinfection stations at facility entrances; a strategic entry/exit plan for shifts to prevent virus spread; expanded worker spacing; the establishment of new communal areas to maintain social distancing; and the provision of necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) for all staff. Jorge Costa, CEO of Costa Food Group, expressed, "In these challenging times, we are all learning and adapting to manage this situation as effectively as possible. Our priority is the safety of our employees and reducing the risk of virus spread within our facilities to ensure the continuity of the food supply chain."
