PRONACA mira al futuro con optimismo y pensando en el largo plazo. Esa es la primera y más importante declaración sobre la sostenibilidad en nuestra compañía. Nos enfocamos en preservar nuestro entorno y sentar bases para que las próximas generaciones puedan continuar alimentándose bien con productos asequibles y de calidad. Otro elemento que define la práctica de la sostenibilidad en PRONACA, es aceptar que sin dejar de perseguir réditos económicos, es fundamental cuidar y resguardar el ambiente, incluyendo las especies animales con las que trabajamos y, tercero, mantener buenas relaciones con las comunidades vecinas en base a una escucha atenta y al desarrollo integral de las mismas. Esas son las columnas que sostienen nuestro propósito: “Alimentar Bien”. Esto abarca nuestro aporte al desarrollo social de las comunidades cercanas a nuestros centros de operación, nuestro trabajo en equipo con los Bancos de Alimentos a través de ayuda alimentaria y la alianza con la Red por la Nutrición infantil (REDNI) que da cuidados a mujeres en estado de gestación y sus niños de hasta dos años. Cabe añadir que lo anterior cobra sentido práctico cuando lo hacemos pensando en nuestros consumidores. Es allí donde nuestras prácticas de innovación resultan críticas para la supervivencia, pues el entendimiento de los mercados y sus tendencias nos permite descubrir oportunidades para servirlos siempre cuidando la accesibilidad y la calidad de nuestros productos, que son elementos diferenciadores al momento de la decisión de compra. Por ejemplo, consideramos esencial tomar en cuenta los alarmantes índices de malnutrición que aquejan a nuestra sociedad, donde destacan el sobrepeso, la obesidad y la desnutrición infantil. Por ello trabajamos arduamente para que nuestra empresa y nuestras marcas se enfoquen en aportar soluciones a estos problemas con acciones y portafolios innovadores.Labour
