    BINGO BPA: THE RESPONSIBLE GROWER’S BINGO

    With the goal of strengthening knowledge of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), División Exportadora developed Bingo BPA, an initiative that transformed traditional training into a dynamic and interactive experience designed to make learning different and more engaging.

    By using bingo as a learning tool, our certified producers reinforced key concepts related to GAP, farm safety, and continuous improvement, demonstrating that learning can also be an enjoyable experience. The prizes awarded during the activity included personal protective equipment and safety kits to support their agricultural work, providing valuable tools for their daily activities on the farm.

    We would like to thank Global Fresh Trading for their support and commitment to this initiative.

    At Palmar, we continue promoting innovative initiatives that strengthen our producers’ knowledge and contribute to the development of safer and more sustainable agriculture.

    MURALES CON HISTORIA

    We celebrated Children’s Day with the initiative “Murales con Historia,” an experience that brought together the children of our División Agrícola employees in a day filled with art, learning, and creativity.

    During the activity, children discovered new painting techniques alongside students from UTMACH’s Visual Arts program, transforming color and imagination into a way to express Palmar’s history. This initiative, aligned with the fourth Sustainable Development Goal (SDG): Quality Education, aimed to create spaces that encourage learning and foster the creative development of children.

At the end of the event, three employees were recognized for achieving the best times.

    On June 1, the third edition of Palmas Unidas took place, Palmar’s Corporate Social Responsibility Program aligned with the 4th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG): Quality Education. This initiative is designed to promote reading, creativity, and learning among children aged 5 to 12, encouraging values and knowledge that contribute to their development and personal growth.

    Launched in 2023, Palmas Unidas seeks to strengthen children’s education through content connected to the SDGs, promoting critical thinking, leadership, and an awareness of their environment.

    In its third edition, the program succeeded in delivering 300 books to children in rural areas through a two-stage process. The first stage was an open digital campaign that gathered 150 books with the enthusiastic support of employees and the general public. These books were donated to the children of our allied producers’ employees.

    The second stage was carried out in person, with 150 more books delivered directly to the children of our field workers during a special event that included dramatized readings, playful activities, and learning spaces.

    “With small actions, we are transforming lives”,
    said company representatives.

    It is worth highlighting that the booksdelivered were written by Krupskaya Pereira, a renowned author from El Oro, reaffirming Palmar’s support for Ecuadorian talent. Palmar extends its gratitude to the local brands, collaborators, and individuals who made this initiative possible, and reaffirms its commitment to education as a driver of change. We invite more organizations and citizens to join this collective effort that plants the seeds of a brighter future for the next generations.
