AS S O C I ATE S : For the safety of our employees and customers, we implemented social distancing and face mask requirements, rigorous cleaning and disinfecting procedures, health checks before the start of shifts, and plexiglass barriers at check stands. To show our gratitude, we gave all front-line associates temporary Appreciation Pay, bonuses, and other benefits. Through the Albertsons Companies Foundation's We Care Fund, we also provided more than $800,000 to support associates experiencing unanticipated or unavoidable hardships. CUSTOMERS: Our stores offered senior citizens and vulnerable customers dedicated shopping hours to ensure all customers had the opportunity to get the items they needed. Additionally, we expanded our Grocery Delivery, Drive Up & Go, and Pharmacy Delivery services so customers could have contact-free shopping experiences. As of June 19, 2021, we have administered more than 6 million COVID-19 vaccines through our 1,700 pharmacies. We continue to offer our customers new resources to help them navigate this health crisis, including digital vaccine records and rapid antigen self-tests. COMMUNITIES: There has never been a more important time to help our neighbors than during the COVID-19 crisis. As hunger relief programs were stretched to capacity, we pledged $53 million and started a fundraising campaign through the Albertsons Companies Foundation Nourishing Neighbors program. Additionally, our generous customers donated more than $67 million to our Nourishing Neighbor hunger relief campaigns throughout 2020. We developed new partnerships to support businesses and their employees as companies had to close or scale back operations. We offered streamlined job application processes to employees that were furloughed or had hours reduced at other hospitality and retail companies. We purchased supplies from the restaurant and service industries to keep food from going to waste and ensure our customers could find the products they needed. COVID -19 Times of extraordinary need require an unprecedented response, and we’re thankful to our associates for their commitment to safety and supporting our neighbors during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their amazing work and dedication created hope within our communities during uncertain times. Ensuring the health and safety of our associates, customers, and communities was our top priority in 2020. 10 Environmental Social Governance Report 2020 11 Compassion
