The challenge of the campaign was to reduce accidents at work to 0 and to be a “Human First, Safety First” company. To do this, they launched the “1,000 Ways to Prevent” campaign, which aimed to inform and raise awareness about the importance of working safely.

For the campaign, a web-series of 9 chapters was prepared, where daily risk situations that are experienced in the store were humorously represented and explained how the workers should act.

A day in which key issues such as health and well-being, gender equality, responsible consumption, etc. were discussed.
