Ambev was selected for the Solidariedade Award, a special edition of the UN Action Award for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The recognition is due to the company's work in supporting the community during the COVID-19 pandemic. In partnership with the City of SP, the steel company Gerdau and the Albert Einstein Hospital, Ambev increased the number of beds at the M'boi Mirim Hospital, in São Paulo (SP), by 100 for the treatment of patients with COVID-19 .
With the Juntos à Distance project, the company also used ethanol from its breweries to produce 1.2 million units of alcohol gel, which were distributed in public hospitals in the cities of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Brasília. “We need hope, solidarity and creative and coordinated actions to achieve global goals. In the midst of the global health crisis, we see strong examples of solidarity between people everywhere”, says Marina Ponti, global director of the UN SDG Action Campaign.
