Keeping our employees and those of our clients safe is our top priority. That is why we have set up a team under my leadership to track the progress of the virus and adapt our operations accordingly. We have implemented a series of preventive measures in the last few days, including improving hygiene measures in our offices, stopping all non-essential business travel and encouraging the use of available technological tools as well as telecommuting to lower risks of contagion.
