How does Grupo Éxito promote sustainability?

In Grupo Éxito, we are committed to sustainability. In each of our actions, we work so that our activities leverage the growth of the country within a framework of good corporate governance, transparency, equity, strengthening the institutional framework and respecting the law, considering the expectations of our stakeholders and acting in line with the principles of the Global Compact, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and global sustainability standards. The Sustainability Policy is led by the company's Presidency and implemented by the Vice-Presidency of Corporate Affairs. The Sustainability Department coordinates and operates the actions. Within our corporate governance, we have a Board of Directors Committee. Guidelines are created at the organizational level related to the sustainability strategy. To guarantee an adequate articulation of all areas, we have a management model where there is a Corporate Sustainability Committee led by the Operational Presidency of the company and integrated by the different vice-presidencies and the Éxito Foundation. Additionally, in each of the six sustainability challenges, we have a committee that allows constant dialogue and aligns actions with the corporate strategy.
