welcome to our world

WELCOME TO LOGOWORLD 2016

My name is Lisa Hillburn and I would like to introduce you to LOGOWORLD: Logoplaste’s annual magazine – designed for our external audience of contacts & stakeholders.

LOGOWORLD is the perfect channel to help you un-derstand what it is like on the inside of a Company that hardly ever sleeps.

Back in 2008, we launched our first Logoworld, the flagship of our communication channels at the time and after 9 issues, we decided it was due a complete makeover in terms of look & feel. We wanted something that graphically portrays who we are, what we do and how we do it, across the world, so here is our revamped version.

As a multicultural Company, present in 16 countries and 3 continents, we make it our business to take care of our teams in all their daily endeavors, to ensure every day is a good day at Logoplaste.

In this issue we talk to the CEO of DPA in Brazil, we get to know a little more about our President, Marcel de Botton, give you an insight into our facts & figures, talk about our team’s experiences, and give an overview of our Plants.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our fantastic editorial team in Corporate HR –Vera Pires, Magda Merali & Sílvia Alves who make this happen.We hope you enjoy and your feedback is always welcome!

Multitasking in a Multinational CoMpanyWhen flexibility is the naMe of the gaMe

What i do “As a Regional Controller, I take care of administration, legal and procedure matters, finance, human resources and accounting. I also communicate with outsourcers, consultants, lawyers, auditors, local authorities such as customs and tax officers. Communication needs to flow smoothly among all parties, to avoid any misunderstanding.

Furthermore, with close interaction with the local team at the plants, I actively make sure that they are motivated and create good energy throughout the team.

Time management is the key to doing it all and doing it well. Planning, discipline and focus are also very important, especially when you work on several different tasks at the same time and you have deadlines to meet.

Another trick I use to organize my schedule is to plan my trips one or two months in advance, so I can prioritize

tasks effectively. Of course, when you travel it means that sometimes your days are long so that you get everything done on time.

the logoplaste WayAll this is easier than it sounds. Logoplaste gives me full autonomy to make my own decisions. Being responsible and having responsibility, gives you the advantage of time – which is precious especially with long time zone differences.

My Colleagues and MeMy relationship with my co-workers is very close. I am a people-oriented manager, open and transparent. Although when the situation requires result-driven action, then I actively cooperate and involve the team to deliver the best and fastest result.

I have always tried to balance between relationship and result-orientation. The book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” written by Stephen Convey, has been guiding me “effectively” on relationship management.

What i Most enjoyThe things that I like to do most at Logoplaste, besides doing my assigned tasks, is meeting new people from various countries and backgrounds, be it colleagues, suppliers, consultants, customers. This allows me to know more about their cultures, their experiences and stories, that most of the time impress me.

Work hard, learn as much as

you can and do not be calculative

MARCEL DE BOTTON

WHO’S THE MANBEHIND LOGOPLASTE?

A MAN cOMMITTED TO SuSTAINABILITy AND TO A BETTER WORLD

What is today a multinational operation, started in 1976 as a one-man show. That man, Marcel

de Botton, is today a leader in European Recycling Policies and Logoplaste’s Chairman.

Marcel de Botton has always led a double life, dedicated to both the production of rigid plastic

packaging and recycling.

MARCeL de BottoN

CAn you TeLL uS A LiTTLe AbouT DPA in brAziL?

DPA Brazil is a joint venture between Fonterra and Nestlé that began operations in Latin America in 2003. In 2014, there was a reorganization, with Fonterra taking a 51% stake and Nestlé 49%. DPA operates in the chilled dairy market in Brazil.

How DoeS DPA See THe yogurT mArkeT in brAziL? How DoeS iT ComPAre To THe euroPeAn AnD norTH AmeriCAn mArkeTS?

North America and Europe have mature markets in terms of consumption per capita, mainly growing through innovation. On the other hand, the Brazilian market has growth potential in both directions: consumption per capita and by innovation.

wHAT Are THe mAin CHALLengeS

wHen oPerATing in brAziL?

To operate in Brazil, a company needs to be ready to face important challenges, such as dealing with a deficient and expensive logistic infrastructure, under qualified work force, exchange rate vulnerability, etc. Apart from these, the recent political and economic instability is disturbing the business environment. However, Brazil is a market with

tremendous growth opportunities and DPA is betting on it.

How CAn LogoPLASTe HeLP

wiTH Some of THeSe CHALLengeS?

DPA Brazil is entering a strong expansion phase that should accelerate in the next few years. We seek partners and suppliers that can follow our growth, contributing with innovative products and solutions, having an excellent level of service at competitive prices; and always maintaining the expected quality levels.

wHAT DoeS DPA Seek in iTS SuPPLierS?

wHAT Are THe mAin ATTribuTeS?

To become a DPA supplier in Brazil, a company must go through an appraisal process called “Vendor Approval”. In this process, it evaluates the quality, the financial performance of the supplier, as well as its compliance with local legislation, including labor & environment laws. Only after the supplier has passed all stages, it is fit to do business with DPA. In addition, to stay competitive in such a dynamic market as the yogurt one, DPA expects its suppliers to be world class, constantly bringing innovation into their production processes and products, and to be aware of consumer trends such as environmental sustainability. Suppliers also need to permanently search for cost reductions and higher quality.


THe reLATionSHiP wiTH LogoPLASTe brAziL begAn in 1997 AnD HAS been SoLiD unTiL ToDAy.

wHAT mAkeS A reLATionSHiP LAST So Long?

An open and honest dialog between both companies is the keystone to the relationship between DPA Brazil and Logoplaste. It promotes the fulfillment of both parties’ expectations.

Long lasting partnerships are based on the alignment of business strategies, on sharing the same values and on conducting business the same way.

Our expectation is to continue this partnership with Logoplaste on the long run, as long as the above premises hold true.

DoeS DPA HAve oTHer in-HouSe oPerATionS? wHAT Are THe ADvAnTAgeS of HAving

A “THrougH THe wALL” SeTuP AS ArArAS?

No, DPA does not have other in-house operations. This category is extremely dynamic and requires great speed from all elements of the supply chain. An in-house operation allows for this dynamism and eliminates transaction costs.

How DoeS DPA See THe fuTure of yogurTS? wHAT Are mArkeT PerSPeCTiveS? AnD ProDuCT TenDenCieS?

The chilled dairy market in Brazil still has many growth opportunities. Although the category has a high pene-tration rate, the per-capita consumption is low (less than 7 kilos per person/per year), well below the average of neighboring countries.

Consumption occurs throughout the day, especially between meals. It is seen as a healthy and tasty snack, leaving room to promote more frequency in the consumption routine.

The market is still concentrated on liquid yogurts and basic pulps. After the launch of the Greek segment, (that DPA Brazil inaugurated in 2012 with NESTLÉ GREGO), the market is becoming more dynamic through innovation and new launches. Brazilian consumers were waiting for better quality yogurts with superior flavor and consistency.

In the next 3 years, we expect to see consumers migrating to higher added-value products, such as self-indulging and healthier yogurts (lactose free, gluten free, etc).

As Brazilians are eating more at home, we will also keep focus on the chilled dessert segment, which is still small in the country. The launch of CHANDELLE CHANTILLY is bringing new consumers to the segment, satisfying the demand for a ready to eat dessert that is not only convenient but also delicious!

Considering the economic situation, and the growth of channels such as Cash & Carry, we expect to see demand evolving to larger formats and multipacks, followed by promotions catching consumers’ attention and offering better deals and “Value for Money”.

LUCOzADE RIBENA SUNTORY SAYS IT ALL IN ONE SENTENCEINSPIRATION cAN cOME fROM LONG-TERM BuSINESS RELATIONSHIPS

“ While you may not have a great marriage without a partnership. We have proven that you can certainly have a great partnership without a marriage! ”

When Satvinder Dhillon, Head of Packaging Development at Lucozade Ribena Suntory, asked

her team to come up with a sentence to describe their relationship with Logoplaste’s Group,

the result was unexpected.

This is how one member of the LRS Packaging Team described the past 3 years working with

Chris Clarke, UK R&D Manager Logoplaste Innovation Lab and his team.

On March 9th 2016, both companies got together in Coleford for a Technical Meeting.

Logoplaste presented the results of the 6-month study which has used different oxygen scavenger materials.

A cross learning and information share to support future decision-making on packaging development.

ightweight Containers BV is the

company behind the KeyKeg and UniKeg brands. These unique lightweight kegs combine groundbreaking R&D and advanced production methods with a clear understanding of what the customers need. The result is two complete families of one-way kegs that stand out in the market due to their innovation, quality, convenience, safety and sustainability.

In May, Lightweight Containers issued a press release explaining the start-up:

“Lightweight Containers has started up a new production line to make KeyKeg Slimlines and UniKegs. The new line is in Joliet, Illinois (US). The fully automated computer and robot-driven line can produce the entire Slimline and UniKeg series depending on demand. Logoplaste supports and oversees the line’s daily production. With the new line, Lightweight Containers is preparing for the rapid growth it anticipates in the United States. Anita Veenendaal, CCO of Lightweight Containers, says, “In the last six years, our worldwide sales have grown by more than 40% a year. A production line in the US will en-able us to respond to the growing demand more quickly and flexibly. We also know that there’s broad support from the American society for setting up a factory there, since we’re contributing to the US economy.”

ConCentration on r&D, sales, anD marKeting The new plant was designed in close collaboration with the manufacturing specialist Logoplaste. Logoplas-te takes care of organizing the line’s daily production. Jan Veenendaal CEO of Light-weight Containers has this to say about this partnership: “Working with Logoplaste is enabling us to grow faster in the US, as well as to concentrate more on R&D, sales, and marketing. Logoplaste is a highly pro-fessional production partner who completely shares our views

on quality and continuity. The new production line is a logical consequence of our strategy of producing as closely as possible to our customers.”

the same langUage David Batey, Regional Commercial Director for Logoplaste NCEE: “Logoplaste and Lightweight Containers are both ambitious, successful family firms and we speak the same language. Besides that Lightweight Containers knows the ins and outs of both the production line and the manufacturing process through and through. Because of this we were able to round off the preparations quickly, professionally and successfully. The start of the fully automated production line went well and we’re now producing at full capacity.” Lightweight Containers is well known for the one-way 20- and 30-liter KeyKeg. The family-owned company, market leader in high-quality one-way kegs, develops, produces, and sells the KeyKeg and guarantees the continuity and quality of the KeyKeg concept.

This revolutionary and successful one-way keg develops and leads the market for one-way kegs and is available in 10, 20- and 30-liter versions. Breweries, wineries and other beverage companies prefer and use KeyKegs all over the world, as they are especially suited for carbonated and still beverages. KeyKegs are currently sold to clients in more than 52 countries. KeyKegs are produced in Germany, the Netherlands and the US. Further expansion of production plants is planned. Logoplaste Joliet is excited with this challenge and happy to be a part of the production of this innovative, sustainable concept.

The Jury’s statement on the project summarizes

the basic ideas that were taken into consideration

when creating ECOvER:

“Ecover Ocean bottle is the first bottle manufactured out

of recycled plastic to include 10 % ocean plastic waste.

The form of the bottle is the result of rigorously applying

the skeleton design principles of microorganisms in nature.

With the help of bionics, this design was able to reduce

the material usage by 20 % in comparison to conventional

plastic bottles – with the same level of stability

and functionality. The Ecover Ocean bottle is an excellent,

sustainable product that deals with the problem of plastic

waste in the ocean and brings the topics of recycling

and sustainability to a higher level. An exemplary solution.”

On April 18th in Brussels, Maria Eugenia Zacarias and Pedro Lopes participated in a workshop, where Pedro presented “PHB: Opportunities for Rigid Packaging.”PHBottle, funded by the European Commission, aims to develop a biodegradable material (PHB, polyhydroxybutyrate) by fermentation of food industry by-products (juice processing wastewater). This is where the raw material will come from.Logoplaste Innovation Lab will design the bottle and study the PHB conditions for both injection stretch blow moulding and extrusion blow moulding. The team will also be responsible of the industrial validation.

ack in 2009, Operation Clean Sweep

was set up to tackle unintentional spills from the plastics industry which is one of the sources of plastic pellets in the oceans.

“We have all experienced the potential for a small quantity of plastic pellets that can end up on the floor at any point during the plastic manufacturing process; pellets can fall to the floor from process, during cleaning of equipment or, in most cases at the time of delivery either from bags into bins or from the tanker delivery into our silos. These pellets then can find their way into drains and they make their way into the waste water systems, the risk of getting into the ocean increases and subsequently into the food chain.”

This year, a study to Quantity Pellet Emissions in the UK has been produced by Eunomia on behalf of the environmental charity Fidra. The report estimates plastic pellet loss at 0.001% to 0.01% of pellets handled by the processor. This estimate is based on reviewing existing studies on pellet loss.

To tackle this important issue, British Plastics Federation challenged its associates by inviting plastic industry companies to reduce the loss of pellets to the environment.

Although procedures were already in place to avoid spills and pellet loss in Logoplaste’s plants, Stephen Mancey* embraced the challenge and committed to ZERO% loss not only for the United Kingdom, but for all the NCEE Region.

The main objective of plastic industries is to protect the environment by having zero pellets entering the water systems and eventually the sea.

ogoplaste Innovation Lab, part of the

Logoplaste Group, felt that their current logo was not portraying what the company is today. It has matured with time, and gained more experience in the development of innovative packaging solutions that answer to Partners’ most challenging and complex requests. The company’s success is based on their 360 degree view of the package development process. All the variables of the innovation process are answered, human and technical factors are taken into consideration, as well as economic, environmental and social. The symbol, as whole, represents the 4 axis of the innovation process, always present in the development of any packaging, making the product relevant, feasible, viable and sustainable.Each curve is a variable: Human, Technical, Economic and Sustainability. The waves portray Logoplaste’s Innovation Lab flexibility and adaptation to new challenges and contexts.

The outer circle shows the company’s globality, supported by the European and United States hubs. 3 colours are used. Carlos Rego tells us what they represent and also explains the new slogan, “Packaging Solutions for Life”: • Orange – vibrant, creativity, ability to overcome our own limits• Dark grey – elegance, maturity, responsibility and discipline• Light brown – friendship, honesty, sincerity and authenticity

“Life” has a triple meaning: • Our solutions improve the quality of life of those who

use them• Our solutions are more reliable• Our solutions are more sustainable The new brand was developed by the Design team over the past year and half, a well thought out process, matured overtime.

SOcIAL RESPONSIBILITy

The transition from adolescence into adulthood faces young people with new situations and difficult choices. Young people with special needs have the same aspirations to being an “adult” as anyone else, yet their options are often limited, and they need more support to reach their goals.

For most young adults with special needs, graduating from high school brings them into a “no man’s land” of care provision, as specialized support is no longer provided, making most of the vocational training and employment opportunities unreachable.

Although there are no official statistics, within the population served by CADIn many young adults are in this situation. They lead extremely secluded lives without a meaningful life-project and few prospects for the future. Moreover, the overwhelming majority of these young adults go on living with their parents, with very restricted social networks and little contact with their age-peers.At CADIn we have been creating and implementing projects for these youngsters since 2005.

One of the first special projects created by CADIn is aimed at promoting socio-professional integration amongst youngsters with high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) or Asperger’s Syndrome. Many people with Autism or Asperger’s Syndrome achieve academic success, but struggle to find and maintain work, because of their deficit in communication and social skills. CADIn’s team works in two fronts to promote sustainable employment for them:

Helping young adults meet the needs of the labor market, through training in soft skills, job hunting and strategies for success in the workplace

Helping employers, as well as co-workers, embrace neurodiversity, through training focused on the characteristics of workers with ASD and workplace management

Nuno is one of CADIn’s long time clients, and a success story. Nuno had a previous job experience at a service station and finally found professional satisfaction, and integration, as an Administrative Assistant in the Department of Human Resources of Sport Lisboa e Benfica.

“A Par e Passo” is an idiomatic expression that conveys the idea of walking “in pairs” and “step by step”. This was the name chosen for yet another project, CADIn’s befriending & mentoring program for young adults living with neurodevelopmental disorders and other mental health problems.This project aims to fight isolation and to promote inclusion of young adults with special needs through the support of volunteer befrienders & mentors. In Pairs - each volunteer will work directly with a beneficiary, offering support and guidance

Step by step - supported by this relationship, beneficiaries take small steps to get out of their iso-lation, become more active, socialize, pick up old hobbies and discover new ones, as well as look for training and employment opportunities

Mónica, one of the volunteers has been a befriender to M. for 6 months. In their meetings they have goneout for walks, visits to museums and challenged their fears at a treetop adventure park. These are but two examples

of the many people whose lives CADIn, its corporate partners and volunteers, are helping to improve.

The fact is everyone is unique, so let us embrace people’s differences and give them a chance to live a meaningful and fulfilling life.

For more information on CADIn please visit www.cadin.net. Logoplaste’s Social Responsibility Program is fully devoted to CADIn.

CANADA hELPS OUT LOCAL COMMUNITIES

BY DONATING

Always alert to what they can do for their community, Logoplaste Edmonton and Logoplaste Burnaby, both contributed with bottles to help children build igloos.

Logoplaste Edmonton donated the milk jugs to a Boys and Girls Club in WETASKIWIN ALBERTA.

The Club runs a day care center that looks after local children. They also work very closely with social services providing care for disadvantaged children and children who have been taken into care.

Logoplaste Burnaby got 437 bottles together so that COMOX VALLEY CHAMBE OF COMMERCE could build an igloo for the children.

The igloo was built to be part of one of the children’s activities during the Winterjam festival that is held every January in the Comox valley. This festival is a 31-day multi-venue music, entertainment, food and winter sports spectacular.

igloo construction took 12 hours and provided tons of fun for the kids.

Both results were amazing:

perfect constructions for happy children!

NOvEMBER 2015

On March 8th Logoplaste Brazil paid tribute to all female employees, by celebrating INTER-NATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY in a special way.

In all plants across the country, for every shift, women were presented with chocolates, making it an unforgettable day for all, as they were not expecting it. THE HR TEAM WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THE RESULT.

/

Each year, in November, just before the THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY, Logoplaste Plainfield, Chicago, Racine, Logoplaste Innovation Lab and Logoplaste Headquarters collect food for a local Food Pantry.

The project involves not only the donation, but also working for a couple of hours putting together the holiday gift boxes for families in need.

It is a great challenge for the team to map out the most efficient process flow to building the gift boxes with the goal of beating the time record from the prior year.

This year, a team of 13, put together 69 boxes in 35 minutes! Since it was so efficient, the next hour was spent sorting donated food.

ocus Group meetings are an important part

of Logoplaste’s DNA, for it is where teams have a chance to express their ideas and concerns.

Each meeting, anywhere around the world, has employees as well as HR representatives. Meetings are informal, but every word counts.

Iberia shares the same HR Team, 5 dedicated professionals

that have the largest plant concentration in the world to take care of.

When it comes to planning their route, Iberian HR divides into groups and starts assigning plants.

As time goes by, HR has found that the two countries are not so different as one would initially think.

FIN MEETINGS, THE TEAMS SHOW SIMILAR cHARAcTERISTIcS

Since the majority either belong to Logoplaste’s origin or to the first internationalization phase, they can analyze the before and after along the company’s timeline Project the future, what are the next steps yet stay focused on the here and now

ChANGING NAMES SAME TEAM, SAME cOMMITMENT TO ExcELLENcE,

JuST A DIffERENT NAME

CPa - Contracts and Project analysis, has, after careful consideration, decided to change their name to PCm – Pricing and Contract management.

Why this change of name, well-established within Logoplaste? The reason is simple. It was noted, over time, in meetings with Partners that the previous

designation, CPA, did not lead to the immediate understating of the department’s scope. And at times, it created a certain confusion. As a Customer oriented department, PCM changed their name to avoid uncertainty and doubt. The team remains the same, as well as does the commitment level and effort towards internal and external clients. Only the name changed.

This year two Corporate Departments, seeded at Headquarters in Cascais, underwent a name changes to better portray what they do and who they do it for.

internal audits, an important part of daily life at the plants

The Logoplaste Performance Management (LPM) was created in 2008 to address issues regarding industrial performance. At the time the department comprised essentially of managing the industrial KPI system and initiated the preferred supplier initiative. Since the departments inception, the team has initiated and participated in many group projects while broadening its responsibilities and today, the team concentrates its effort on three key focus areas:

industrial Performance – monitoring the perfor-mance evolution of all plants and provide a platform to permit effective benchmarking.

asset Conservation – promoting effective asset conservation by implementing tools (SAP-PM) and developing methodologies to permit the good management of all maintenance and repair activities at the plants.

internal audits – measuring compliance against corporate processes (logistics), evaluating the effectiveness of controls and validating the reliability of the SAP against physical counts and other documented evidences

The internal audits are taking on an increasingly import role in the organization because these interventions not only measure and guarantee corporate compliance, but also afford the plants the opportunity to share and learn “best practices”, ensure that they have a good understanding of group

language (terminologies and concepts) and align their day-to-day routines, procedures and processes in their continuous strive to be “best in class”.

This year LPM decided to change its name to APM (Audits and Performance Management) to better characterizing the department’s mission/objective. Same team, same responsibilities, just a different name.

oggi, leading Portuguese brand for liquid yogurt, just announced its new bottle,

with a strong campaign focused on social media. Aligned with the brand’s strategy and values, Yoggi handles the little daily problems with humor, under the new signature “#Élíquido!”, which means “#It’s liquid!”

The project for the new bottle started in 2014, at Logoplaste’s Innovation Lab CAD Department, as a project to optimize weight. At the time Yoggi, was restructuring its communication strategy. It was a great opportunity to modernize the package’s Design Language, making it more distinctive, unique and relevant for both the brand and its consumers.

Lactalis accepted the challenge and Logoplaste’s Innovation Lab Design team presented 3 proposals for the redesign. To give the brand a “fresher” look, nothing better than the Refresh proposal to be chosen and developed until the industrial production phase, and of course, presentation to the market.

The solutions found by Logoplaste Innovation Lab alloweda weight reduction from 11 to 9 grams in each produced unit.

The reduction in raw material also encompassed the bottle’s sleeve – the label. Around 70 million bottles are produced a year, estimating a reduction in raw material of about 18%, which translated into about 140 tons.

For 30 years in the Portuguese market, “Yoggi continues to grow and innovate. As market leader in this segment, it is crucial to accompany the latest trends and be close to our target audience” refers Nathalie Julia, Lactalis Nestlé, Group Marketing Manager.

“The new bottle is out with a modern and appealing design, keeping Yoggi’s signature and quality taste. In the back, we innovated with over 200 positive as well as creative sentences, that will inspire and surprise teenagers.”

Last year Logoplaste’s Internal Communications Department had a big challenge: to launch a corporate television program for the plants.

Why television? Because is it an appealing way to transmit information. Broadcasted news looks good, information is short and straight to the point, strong images and exciting movies grab people’s attention. Content can be divided into programs, making it easy to organize the loop.

The objective was to deliver not only a global messages worldwide, but also to provide plants with a new channel for their plant specific information. As a multinational company, Logoplaste wanted to create more involvement with all its team, sharing the same corporate message at the same time. One year later the results are very good. Employees

enjoy the new channel and are always up to date on what is going on worldwide.

A universal corporate TV project, with a centralized back office, is powerful solution making it very easy to manage and update. Logoplaste has 12 official languages and broadcasts are localized for each country, but the message is always the same.

On top of the corporate loop, plants can upload their specific information which serves a double purpose. On the one hand, this content is relevant to the teams at that plant, so it makes the channel even more useful. On the other hand, people pay more attention to the global, corporate, information as they know the broadcast also contains content that is relevant to their day-to-day work.

orporate Finance Department hos-

ted 2 interns for their Summer Internships: a 1st year Business Management student and a MBA graduate. The experience each

is getting will shape their future career decisions. Sofia Meneses, Corporate Finance Director, believes it is not only important, but a responsibility, to help young adults as they prepare for their professional life.

C

Let’s meet the interns...

One of the MBA requirements is for students to internship. Manuel Lourenço chose Logoplaste, he applied and was accepted. With an exclusive background in Banking, this internship will help Manuel have contact, on the one hand, with business and industrial side of Logoplaste, and on the other, with the bank-company dynamics, from a client’s point of view.

So, we asked Manuel how is the Summer Internship going on different levels… • on a work level – “Luck was on my side, as I started my internship in a time when Logoplaste is about to undergo a major transformation in its capital structure. Change phases are always intense processes, great learning opportunities” • Team integration – “I was well received. The company is opened minded and informal, but at the same time strict and professional”• Personally – “I feel at home at Logoplaste. I have support to perform my tasks and structure from my superiors” • Impact on MBA studies – “Until the end of the MBA, students can choose their courses. This internship will help me pick in a productive and conscious way” Manuel believes this internship is essential for his last semester, helping him decided which elective courses to choose, where he wants to focus his efforts, and what he would like to do in the near future.

Mariana is enrolled in the CLSBE Mentoring Program and her Mentor happens to be Filipe de Botton, Logoplaste’s Co-CEO, so it was a natural that her Summer Internship be at Logoplaste.

A Summer Internship is always short, but it gives students hands-on-the-job experience. Currently Mariana is working on bank contracts and SAP.

Mariana likes being here: “The work environment is really good and everyone is kind as well as professional. I like what I am doing and have learnt a lot, by shadowing and by doing.”

As a 1st Year Management Student, Mariana finds that practical knowledge is important and well looked upon. She also likes to see how you apply in real life, what you have learned in the classroom. This experience will encourage to study harder, as she has seen it is useful in the near future.

On a persona level Mariana tell us: “It has been a challenge to come to work during vacation time, but it is worth it. This internship is making me grow as a person and as a professional.”

POLANDRETuRNING HOME

WITH LOGOPLASTE

After graduating from university and working in

the plastics industry in Poland, Tomasz Gerat and

Jakub Grzyb moved to the Uk 10 years ago looking

for a different experience and, at the same time, to

practice their English.

Both friends began their journey at Logoplaste Leeds

as operators, but wanted to develop their careers.

They studied hard and passed the NvQ exams –

UK National Vocational Qualifications, and after

a few years were promoted to Blow Moulding

Technicians. The Leeds team was always there to

help and share their knowledge.

When rumors of a new plant in Poland stared,

Jakub and Tomasz positioned themselves, letting

NCEE anagement know they were fully available

to embrace the startup plant. Returning to their

families, and homeland, was a dream that was about

to come true.

After 10 years, distance from their families was

reduced by 2.000 km, always working for Logoplaste.

Focus Meetings have a pivotal role in hearing

what the plants have to say.

In these sessions feedback is given to human Resources,

and actions points from previous meetings are followed up.

In the Uk, Focus Group Members get together

once a year with 2 purposes:

This year the gathering took place in center of the Uk

(Milton keynes), on March 1st and 2nd.

The first day-full of Team Building activities,was

lots of fun. The 20 members were split into

4 groups and the team leaders were asked to wear

funny costumes. They had wacky races competitions,

teams had to build a sledge and race it down

the slopes, ensuring the vehicle reached the finishing line

in one piece. Finally, they had fun tubing down the slops

and bumping into each other.

Annual Focus Meeting is also a way to say “thank you”

to all participants, not only for their time but for the

commitment in helping to build a stronger community

within Logoplaste employees.

For team building – where people from different

plants have a chance to meet and build stronger

relationships, as well as compete in various

challenges, where fun and skills are required

For brainstorm session – where important

topics, such as Welfare and Facilities,

Communication, Structure of Focus Group

Meetings, are analyzed and discussed,

vIETNAM AuDITS NOT TO THE PLANT, BuT THE kITcHEN In vietnam, Authorities require, after one year, a Food

Hygiene and Safety inspection to all in-house canteens.

As it has been a year since Logoplaste vN has had their

new canteen working, an audit was conducted with

complete compliance result. All was clear. To celebrate

this occasion the canteen supplier, Aden, gave the team

a special full-course meal.

Recognizing the importance of eating well at work, giving

our team the best experience and healthy meal every day

is one of our important goals.

An internal survey was conducted to find out

what employees think of the service and the food.

The results show that the team is happy with the

meal and service, with the acceptance per-

centage from 72% up to 96%. The survey also re-

veals the aspects for improvement, which

the plant team are working on with Aden, to make

sure all the employees have a great experience

at the canteen every day.
