Recently, local supply chains have been greatly affected by the difficult situation. In particular, the personnel allocation, logistics scheduling, and capital chain of enterprises have become particularly tense. The animal husbandry industry, closely related to people's livelihood, is facing the risk of supply interruption. As a key link in the food industry, animal nutrition enterprises are of great significance to whether downstream enterprises can stabilize production and whether consumers can get food supplements in time. Adisseo, a leading company in the field of feed additives in the world, has taken a series of health and safety measures to better ensure efficient operation inside and outside the enterprise. During the outbreak of the epidemic, it paid attention to local epidemic prevention policies and quickly started targeted measures to strictly prevent the epidemic and stabilize production, guarding the development of the whole value chain of the food industry.

Comprehensive care for employees by giving priority to safety

Safety has always been the top priority for Adisseo to achieve sustainable development. The health and safety of employees is the solid cornerstone for the stable development and long-term growth of Adisseo. Moreover, Adisseo's most firm and important principle is to ensure the safety of employees, production equipment, products, logistics, and the environment.

Since the outbreak of this round of epidemic, Adisseo's management has held epidemic prevention and control guidance meetings many times to timely formulate and adjust the latest prevention and control measures according to the epidemic development trend and local epidemic prevention requirements. The health and safety of employees and their families, as well as the stable development of production and sales, are ensured through timely disinfection and sterilization of the office and production environment, regular distribution of protective articles, and publicity of safety protection knowledge.

To reduce employees' worries, Adisseo China responded quickly and brought good hope to employees with the care mode of "spiritual food" + "material food". After the start of lockdown management, Adisseo Shanghai Labor Union actively communicated the source of goods and contacted the transportation. With the assistance of the Administrative Department, the Financial Department, the Logistics Department and the Human Resources Department, three batches of "living material gift bags" were sent to the colleagues in Shanghai on April 2, April 7 and April 16, ensuring that the employees can receive the most scarce grain, oil, vegetables and other materials. ??? ?

In the opening speech, Mr. Wang Hao, Executive Vice President of Adisseo Great China, cheered for everyone. He thanked everyone for maintaining high work efficiency when working from home and reminded colleagues to strengthen safety protection. Employees learning online also actively interacted and shared epidemic prevention experiences after the live broadcast classes, forming a good atmosphere of mutual assistance. At the same time, to maintain communication with each employee and timely understand the status of employees, the company also actively established communication channels, which facilitated employees who encounter difficulties to submit demands internally and relevant departments to organize resources for help, creating a caring and warm working environment for employees.

In the early stage of the outbreak in Shanghai, Adisseo's supply chain team quickly took measures to accurately identify and assess potential risks. Before the lockdown of major warehouses, the team enabled the supply chain system's normal operation through inventory optimization, protecting the fundamental interests of Adisseo and customers. The Party members of the Adisseo Nanjing plant took the initiative to set an example and achieved a distribution rate of 94.4% through sincere cooperation with the sales team, procurement team, and transportation suppliers. To ensure orderly production, operation, and business supply during the epidemic, Adisseo's plant in Nantong, facing the fierce epidemic, also made efficient arrangements for personnel stationed in the plant and goods moved to the warehouse.

Furthermore, with importance attached to the development of company informatization and digitization, Adisseo has formed a digital platform with wide coverage, rapid renewal and iteration, and professional demand response by increasing relevant investment. During the epidemic period, the digital platform played a significant role in helping employees' remote office and online cooperation, making it possible for office and plant employees to flexibly switch work modes and ensuring the healthy and orderly operation of all departments.

By strictly abiding by local epidemic prevention policies and reasonably arranging the personnel resident plan of each production base during the lockdown management, Adisseo made every effort in the logistics support for the resident staff by rapidly formulating the epidemic prevention plan and actively reserving food and necessities for daily use. Moreover, it took the health and safety of employees as the criterion to reasonably arrange the production and marketing work.

Ensuring customers' production needs in the form of innovative online services

Adisseo, who has an advantageous business layout and profound state-owned assets background in animal nutrition, is duty-bound at this time.

With continuous exploration in these fields, Adisseo has played an active role in animal nutrition supplements and feed alternatives. Moreover, Adisseo, with the hope of driving the overall development of the upstream and downstream of the value chain, is not only committed to developing high-quality products and solutions, but also focuses on the exchange and sharing of advanced technologies in the industry.

During the epidemic period, Adisseo launched an innovative online service form.
