Our Commitment is with Everyone

May/06/2020

At Unicomer Group, we reaffirm our commitment today, more than ever, to the safety and well-being of our staff members, clients and the communities in the countries we have operations. We developed several activities, and deployed protocols focused on guaranteeing everyone's well-being, both in Latin America and the Caribbean. These measures were taken in our different work centers such as: offices, stores, service centers and distribution centers.

We placed additional hand sanitizer dispensers in all our work centers, increased sanitary regimes, and implemented social distancing protocols.

We are proud of the steps we continue to taking to maintain our leadership. #UnicomerProud

At Unicomer Group we recognize that thanks to our staff members work and dedication we continue moving forward, which is why we are adapting and evolving together in these new times.

Our staff members and their family's health is our priority, which is why the following services or programs were made available in all our countries in Latin America and the Caribbean:

COVID-19 Emergency Staff Member’s Fund

We created a special fund to support our staff members and their immediate families in the event the virus affects someone, and assistance was not available or sufficient.

Teledoctor Service

We are providing a free, six months, medical (primary care), psychological, and nutritional telephone assistance, with ambulance service as well, available 24 hours a day, to all staff members and their immediate families.

We have accompanied our staff members by creating different activities to do with their families, always promoting solidarity and union as a company:

Sewing Kits

Sewing kits were delivered so that our staff members and families can knit blankets, scarves and hats that will be delivered to the Benjamin Bloom National Children's Hospital and the San Vicente de Paul nursing home.

Painting Competition

A painting contest was designed for our staff members children where we promoted, they use materials they could find available in their homes, and draw a pictures with a message thanking all the heroes who are working in this pandemic, such as: health, delivery, water and food personnel, authorities, etc. The drawing with more likes will be the winner of a TV set.

Our staff members have always stood out for being supportive of our communities.

Blood Drives

In conjunction with El Salvador’s Red Cross, our staff members once again made themselves available to help in this noble cause and help the country with the blood shortage through our blood drive.

Basic Food Baskets

As a Group, we delivered basic food baskets in advance to all our Corporate staff members to help them out through this time. Several of them decided to donate their baskets to the communities that need it most.

When we saw that COVID-19 was approaching our countries, we began to carry out different types of prevention and education campaigns about the virus.

We strengthened our e-commerce platforms in Latin America and the Caribbean, such as www.lacuracaonline.com and www.shopcourts.com to continue meeting their needs. In addition, we included free delivery, since circulation is not allowed in several of our countries.

We created a team trained to provide personalized advice on their credits, so that each case can be evaluated, and solutions are offered that adapted to the needs of each client. The idea is to help individually, case by case, according to the situation in which they find themselves so that together we can move forward.

We stopped the generation of default interest for 60 days in our systems.

We opened different alternative payment methods in all our countries for the comfort and well-being of our clients.

We are a Group that believes in solidarity, not as a superficial feeling, but as a firm and persevering determination to work for the common good.
