MANAGEMENT
Operations and activities at Minerva Foods are done using the most modern procedures and equipment to optimize the use of natural re- sources. The Company complies with the legal requirements applicable to its operations by the means of instruments for the adept management of solid waste, liquid effluents and atmospheric emissions at all units. For the management and control of operations, supervisors use Logbook, a data tool in conjunction with an action plan gen- erator with all data being compiled so as to main- tain the monitoring and control of operations at a single location. 103-2 | 103-3
