Marfrig moves to help refugees

14/10/2019
Packer and tanning group Marfrig has launched a programme to offer employment to refugees.

It began the initiative by offering jobs to 40 people from Haiti, Venezuela, Bolivia and Cuba at its plant in Várzea Grande, in the state of Mato Grosso.

Human resources director for the group in South America, Jairo Agosta, said on announcing the initiative that the presence of people from other countries at the plant has allowed Marfrig to construct a multicultural environment at the plant, “breaking down prejudice and discrimination, generating a healthy culture for  the company, as well as giving dignity and citizenship for people arriving in our country in search of  work and a better quality of  life”.
