The Covid crisis in Brazil: Making a difference

Description
Hydro has 6,000 employees in Brazil and a big role to play in the communities where we operate. With 16 million cases there and nearly 500,000 deaths, Brazil is one of the hardest-hit countries in the world. When the Covid-19 pandemic struck Brazil in the spring of 2020, Hydro launched a plan to help relieve the effects of the virus on our employees, their families and their neighbors. Those efforts continue to this day. Nina Schefte, Head of CSR (corporate social responsibility) in Hydro in Oslo, and Luana Carvalhosa in Belém, Brazil, who is responsible for social programs, discuss how these efforts were rolled out and how they have been received in our communities.
