Redes comerciales secas
- The Organization acquired a 51% interest in Atlantic Food Service, a company specialized in the commercialization of products in the institutional or food service channel in Colombia.
- We maintained the dynamism of our brands in the traditional channel with a 4.6% increase in value.
- The Organization kept its expenditure under the sales growth, contributing to the business productivity and efficiency thanks to the evolution of the commercial model and the optimization of the structure.
- We reduced the CO2 emissions from our distribution fleet by 35%. This was possible due to the efficient-driving efforts among the directly operated vehicles and to the adequate management of the vehicle fleet maintenance activities.
- We incorporated the first electric vehicle with a capacity of 4.5 tons and three natural gas-powered cargo vehicles. Additionally, we replaced 24 cargo machinery units and used electric tricycles for delivery activities with a lesser environmental impact.
- The Novaventa network closed the year with a total of 192,666 individual entrepreneurs, enabling direct access to almost four million Colombian consumers.
- We implemented a pilot program of commercial agents with exclusive dedication, which allows focusing the Organization’s efforts and a higher level of specialization in the topics associated with the segment.
