K E Y F I G U R E S 2,000 beers brewed with Malteurop malt are enjoyed every second worldwide 23 production sites in 14 countries 2.3 million tonnes malt production capacity SUCC es SFUL l AUN c H for Me O q UI 23,000 tonnes have been produced in Meoqui, Mexico, just a few months after the launch. The malt is made with barley grown by local farmers trained by VIVESCIA and Malteurop. How would you sum up 2022-2023? We saw improved results despite inflation, thanks to a strong customer focus, effective management of purchasing and pricing, and the ramping up of our Meoqui plant in Mexico. We rolled out the LINK by VIVESCIA sustainable development policy, and Heineken one of our biggest clients signed up to join VIVESCIAs TRANSITIONS programme. And on the safety front, we recorded the lowest accident rate in our companys history, proving that a culture of safety in the workplace is perfectly compatible with operational excellence. Malteurop seems to be prioritising large-scale partnerships centring on CSR Its true that our primary concern is to create value, whether that be for the business, the environment or for people. That's why we're developing a virtuous business model that inherently tackles CSR themes by improving efficiency, both in our production facilities and in upstream farming practices. We're accelerating this approach internationally, with Navarra 360 in Spain, for example. These collaborative ventures underscore our commitment to sustainability and innovation. What does that mean in practical terms? There are three pillars to our 2030 strategy: customers, innovation and CSR. As an example, were increasing our capacity to produce roasted malt in the US, and boosting production capacity in Spain. Were setting up an international open innovation network with commercial partners, research institutes and government agencies. With regard to CSR, were striving to extend the TRANSITIONS vision and principles to other clients, beyond Frances borders, and we will continue to focus relentlessly on decarbonising our malt production, and the procurement side of our operations, so we meet our SBTi FLAG targets.
