 [102-3]

We are a leading organization in the lipids, nutrition and frozen bakery sector, which seeks to contribute from its experience in order to Nurture a better tomorrow with value solutions that generate a positive impact on our employees, customers, consumers, suppliers and our environment.

OUR HISTORY

Formed by the union of six companies producing vegetable oils and fats with more than 75 years of experience in Colombia, we develop innovative, different and relevant products, services and technological solutions, where through lipids, we make a difference and generate value for our customers and consumers.

 

What moves us as an organization, and why we get up every day with conviction, is to nurture a better tomorrow. We work for this purpose by guaranteeing sustainable processes with positive impacts on the development of our society, leveraged on a culture of innovation in which growth is aligned with the strategies of the nine business units in which we are organized and each of our four strategic business groups (SBGs): Team Solutions, Team Foods, BredenMaster® and Team Caribe.

[102-4; 102-6 ; 102-7; 102-8; 102-41; 102-15; 102-10]

Team Caribe was created in 2021, with the objective of having a strategic coherence that will allow us to continue growing and being closer to our clients and consumers and to the value chain in the Caribbean region. We are convinced that this new SBG  will lead us to continue our growth path.

This would not be possible without the support and contribution of all Alianza Team® employees who stand out for being innovative, reliable, optimistic, entrepreneurial, agile, transparent and safe people; starting from the example set by our shareholders and our Board of Directors, permeating the entire organization, firmly believing in living and reflecting the principles and values stated in our Policy Guidelines.
