Dialogs that transcend

In Chile, the conversations between the unions and the Company are solidified with a vision of well-being that enables collaborative progress. Tresmontes Lucchetti, Grupo Nutresa’s Business Unit in Chile, has committed to establishing a closer engagement with several union groups related to the Organization. As a result of this, strengthened trust-based relationships have been solidified under the goal of ensuring the well-being of the em – ployees, their families and the Company itself.

Thanks to this commitment to human de – velopment and to the constant conversations that give way to perspectives for everybody and a union engagement model, they were selected as the winners of the Carlos Vial Espantoso Foundation in 2022, an acknowl – edgment to the most relevant labor relations in the countrywide context. Their excellence-lev – el practices, centered on people’s comprehensive growth and labor relations, based on closeness and trust, were key aspects in the process of being awarded such accolade. With an open-door philosophy, they have made progress in the two-way growth and well-being. The engagement with the unions has been the key: “We are building our enterprise project jointly with the union organizations. We have been able to solidify our conversations and deepen our mutual trust, with the firm conviction that we have a common future,” highlights Tomás Gumucio, Human and Organizational Manager. With a system that manages the day-today operating and particular needs, which also develops progress related to the Company’s most strategic and future-centered topics on a regular basis, and with the participation of Tresmontes Lucchetti’s CEO, they are able to deploy programs focused on mental and physical health, housing, education, prepara – tion for retirement and, in general, issues that are essential for the future of both the Organization and everyone that is part of it. José Pablo Lara Benavente, imports assis – tant at Tresmontes Lucchetti and Chairman of Union number 2, underlines that within this labor engagement system “trust is es – sential, because it’s ultimately about human relationships that need such trust to achieve mutual understanding. In this Organization, we are not just numbers, we are people.”
