MESSAGE FROM

OUR CEO

[102-14,102-15,103-2,103-3]

2020 was a turning point in our history as a result of the public health crisis that has affected worldwide, driving major transformations that have had a significant influence on the way we behave, work, communicate and, of course, in the way in which we look at the future.

Without a doubt, it was a year that put our company to test in different aspects, which is why we had to efficiently and quickly implement steps to adapt our operations to the demands of the new normal. Above all else, it was a year that motivated us to come together as a company and to give our very best.

It is a great satisfaction that we can say that our company not only successfully overcame the challenges that faced throughout 2020, but also grew to become a more flexible, cohesive, resilient, competitive,

and united organization.

Throughout this report, we will focus on the steps that we took within our operations in Mexico and in the United States, which reflects our growing commitment to sustainability and the creation of

programs that add value to our stakeholders.

Our mission of offering healthy and nutritious food to families became more important than ever before, which is why, during the public health crisis stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, we strived to bolster our internal principles and guidelines,

in addition to strictly complying with official regulations in every area in which we operate, with the goal of maintaining the continuity of our operations and

safeguarding the health and well-being of our employees.

We work in line with best corporate practices to offer a positive work environment for our team and to maintain the highest standards of quality in our products. A clear reflection of the work we have done is being ranked 16th in the Top 100 Companies with the Best Corporate Reputation by MERCO Mexico, and we were also recognized as one of the Best Places to Work in Mexico by being included in the 2020 Super Companies ranking published by Expansión magazine.

Furthermore, as part of our efforts to support our stakeholders and establish em- pathetic communication during the public health crisis, we decided to temporarily modify our slogan from "With You Every

Day" to "With You Every Day, Now More Than Ever Before".

During this very challenging year, a year in which solidarity, recognition and support played a fundamental role in our society, we rolled out our Apoyo de Corazón and Caldito de Apoyo programs, through which we provided food to those who were in need, in addition to provide a message of support to the people of Mexico. Through these programs, we have benefited more than 3.5 million people by giving 93,000 containers of chicken soup in different states within Mexico, including Mexico City, Guanajuato, Nuevo Leon, and Puebla, among others.

In terms of our environmental responsi- bility, we continue striving to improve processes at our company in order to have a positive impact on the planet. This year we continued installing solar panels at our production centers, and we bolstered our electrical cogeneration project with natural gas for self-consumption, helping to achieve outstanding results in the area of energy use.

Furthermore, in our operations in Mexico, we rolled out logistics and transportation projects to help reduce fuel use and mitigate our environmental footprint, in addition to decrease CO2 emissions.

On behalf of the entire organization, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to each and every person on our team, thanks to whom we turned a difficult year into a positive one.

At Bachoco, we know that times like these bring with them both challenges and major opportunities, which is why we will continue investing in becoming a more sustainable company every single day as we generate more value for all.

Rodolfo Ramos Arvizu

CEO of Bachoco
