TEGUCIGALPA, HONDURAS, 11 FEBRUARY 2021:

After extensive independent auditing, Dinant and its subsidiary Exportadora del Atlantico have been admitted to the Business Alliance for Secure Commerce. BASC was established in 1996 to develop supply chain security standards and to promote secure international trade in cooperation with governments and international organizations. The United Nations recently recognized BASC as an important security program in the Americas.

BASC certification was awarded to 12 of Dinant's major operational sites in Honduras, including its packaged consumer goods and agribusiness facilities. A further seven facilities will be audited in 2021.

Dinant spokesman, Mr. Roger Pineda, commented, "This certification - the latest in a long line of international awards that Dinant has received - is recognition of the professional management, security, and transparency of the Company's supply chain. BASC membership will further consolidate the view held by all staff and business partners that we have the ability to operate successfully and securely in all domestic and international markets."

Dinant has invested heavily over the last few years in significantly modernizing and expanding its operating facilities, and securing a range of international certifications, including ISO 14001 for environmental management systems, ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety, ISO 9001 for the use of quality management systems, and ISCC EU and ISCC Plus for the sustainability of its raw materials and

products, the traceability of its supply chain, and its control of greenhouse gas emissions. In April 2020, Dinant become an engaged member of the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights, a highly prestigious organization and internationally recognized benchmark that strictly governs how organizations vet, recruit and train their security men and women, and how they engage with local communities.

Mr. Pineda continued, "Dinant's strategy of raising standards is being recognized by our clients at home and abroad, allowing us to create more sustainable jobs and prosperity in Honduras. BASC membership is particularly satisfying given that the audit process was undertaken in the middle of a pandemic, and after Honduras had been hit by two hurricanes in 2020 with catastrophic consequences for the country."

TEGUCIGALPA, HONDURAS, 11 de Febrero del 2021:

Despues de una extensa auditorfa independiente, Dinant y su filial Exportadora del Atlantico han sido admitidas a la Alianza Empresarial para el Comercio Seguro (BASC tras sus siglas en ingles). BASC se establecio en 1996 con el objetivo de desarrollar estandares de seguridad de la cadena de suministro y promover un comercio internacional seguro en cooperacion con gobiernos y organizaciones internacionales. Las Naciones Unidas reconocieron recientemente a BASC como un importante programa de seguridad en la region de las Americas.

La certificacion BASC fue otorgada a 12 de los principales sitios operativos de Dinant en Honduras, incluyendo las facilidades de productos de consumo y de Agronegocios. Siete instalaciones adicionales seran auditadas en 2021.

El portavoz de la companfa, Roger Pineda, expreso: "Esta certificacion - la mas reciente de una larga lista de acreditaciones internacionales que ha recibido Dinant- es un reconocimiento del manejo profesional, la seguridad y transparencia en la cadena de suministro de la empresa. La membresia a BASC consolidara aun mas la vista que tiene todo el personal y socios comerciales de que tenemos la capacidad de operar de manera exitosa y sequra en todos los mercados locales e internacionales."

En los ultimos anos, Dinant ha invertido considerablemente en modernizar significativamente y la ampliacion de sus instalaciones operativas, asf como la obtencion de multiples certificaciones

internacionales, incluyendo la certificacion ISO 14001 para sistemas de gestion ambiental, la certificacion ISO 45001 para salud y seguridad ocupacional, la certificacion ISO 9001 para el uso de sistemas de gestion de calidad, y las certificaciones ISCC EU e ISCC Plus por la sostenibilidad de sus materias primas y productos, la trazabilidad de su cadena de suministro y su control de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero. En Abril del 2020, Dinant se convirtio en un miembro comprometido de los Principios Voluntarios sobre Seguridad y Derechos Humanos, un punto de referencia de gran prestigio y reconocimiento internacional que rige estrictamente como las organizaciones vetan, contratan y capacitan a hombres y mujeres de su personal de seguridad, y como estos se relacionan con las comunidades locales.

El senor Pineda continuo: "La estrategia de Dinant de elevar los estandares esta siendo reconocida por nuestros clientes en casa y en el extranjero, permitiendonos generar mas empleos sostenibles y bienestar en Honduras. La membresla a BASC es particularmente satisfactoria dado gue el proceso de auditorla se llevo a cabo en medio de una pandemia y luego de gue Honduras afrontara dos huracanes en 2020 con consecuencias catastroficas para el pais."
