Introduction MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD AND FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER Dear Friends We are pleased to deliver the ﬁfth Sustainability Report from PRONACA. This document covers an integral vision of the activities we conduct in our organization. The report deals with the economic, environmental, and social aspects of our business. Each one of the chapters presents information related to our co-workers and other stakeholder groups with which PRONACA has on-going relationships. The most noteworthy fact in this report is PRONACA’s role in promoting development in agriculture and as a supplier of quality food for all members of Ecuadorian society. A very important aspect of PRONACA’s business model is its development of integrated farmers that work with us not only with corn and ricebut also with broiler chickens, artichoke, and heart-of palm. In essence, this integration system consists of helping the farmer obtain the necessary credit and ensuring a market for his products. In addition, we establish a cooperation triangle betweenthe credit, the farmer, and the delivery of his crop at agreed-upon prices, while some funds are retained in order to pay back his loans. This integration system produces a win-win situation for the farmer, for agriculture and for agroindustry, whereby all parties obtain a reliable market based on a reliable vendor. In this manner we can build lasting, long-term relationships where everyone wins.

For over 25 years PRONACA has been a company that exempliﬁes its commitment with the goals of food safety and food sovereignty. It is very important for Ecuador to know how to feed itself. There are farmers in the ﬁelds to whom we can teach new technologies through agricultural extension programs that should be carried out by both the public and the private sectors. There are fertile lands and there is a climate that allows many products to be harvested, such as corn and rice, among others. We should highlight the support we provide to corn farmers through the incorporation of new technologies, with quality seeds and technical processes so that, through our joint efforts we may all achieve the goal of turning Ecuador into a country that is self-supplying in corn by the year 2015. All of this while simultaneously taking care of nature for future generations and meeting all the environmental regulations adopted by the government. The work performed by our co-workers and with communities in the areas near our operations, also deserves a special mention. We are convinced that the only path towards mutual growth and success is one in which the Company, with its entire staff, together with its suppliers and clients, is the only way to ensure a future for all us. We trust that by reading these pages you will obtain a perspective of the work performed by a company that prides itself in being Ecuadorian and that strives to play a positive role in Ecuador’s present and future.

Sincerely,

Luis Bakker Jr.

*The data of the economic exercise of integrated poultry farming belong to each one of their ﬁnancial exercises.

2011 was a very good year for poultry farming integration. The production results attained have surpassed those of previous years, and the proﬁts obtained have fulﬁlled the expectations of over 80% of those integrated ones. Poultry farmers have been made aware of the importance of improving biosafety practices, conditions of infrastructure, and equipping of their sheds. Training workshops have been organized in order to share corporate responsibility practices with them.

Integrated corn farming The integrated corn program (large, medium, and small) is focused on training corn farmers in order to achieve a more efficient and qualityoriented production following the standards that the company maintains. PRONACA has liaised with government agencies in order to generate long-term development in the fields, which has motivated trust and new opportunities for growth, especially for farmers with less than 10 hectares. Among the most noteworthy results, there are the leveraging of small farmers in knowledge and techniques on corn farming with adequate technologies, and in corn, bean, sorghum, and sunflower cultivation in order to determine the feasibility of planting during the summer through irrigation systems.

Another important aspect is that we set up a simple goal: to have good production. I have always grown corn, but about 6 years ago, I started to put more heart in growing corn. I was about 28 years-old when this happened. I put more dedication into this process by trying not to depend too mucho on the workers. That’s when I realized the importance of my spending more time at the plant, of understanding how it works, and of constantly verifying whether the products applied are producing good yields”.

Generating positive relationships with the communities. PRONACA implements initiatives that seek for the well-being of stakeholders and communities with which it interacts. During 2011, the company worked hard at consolidating good relationships with the various stakeholders from the production chain. It excelled in managing joint work with authorities and providing information on issues that the company handles. In speciﬁc cases, visitors toured operational centers from PRONACA operations. Relationships with stakeholders were concentrated in the three regional centers: Coast, Highlands, and Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas. PRONACA strengthened communications channels with communities and speciﬁc stakeholders at the local level.

Wellbeing and health of neighboring communities The most relevant aspects of the implementation were as follows: PRONACA delivered updated information to the network of integrated poultry farmers from Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas concerning changes on legal norms of the area. The company held training workshops for small business owners on proper feed processing. Work with the Poly Ugarte Foundation in campaigns for breast cancer prevention in communities of operations of the Coast. PRONACA led an awareness-creation campaign on the importance of having a timely medical checkup. With the support of the Municipality of Bucay and of the IESS (Ecuadorian Institute for Social Security), PRONACA assisted 1,522 women aged 15 to 70. in collaboration with the Municipality of Guayaquil and other private companies, we assisted a total of 15,000 women. PRONACA created medical brigades designed to prevent diseases and promote health. Within this context, we vaccinated 65 children under the age of two against polio and the inﬂuenza virus. The Company implemented a campaign in Bucay for the prevention of alcoholism and drug addiction through community speakeasies held with local zonal leaders. PRONACA
