It transformed a production plant into a COVID-19 vaccination center, created job fairs for people with disabilities, and distributed food made from barley flour. These actions reaffirmed its status as a globally responsible brand, making a positive impact on the community.
Business Challenge
María Esperanza Schorr, Legal Manager of AbInbev Chile, identified that the main challenge was to find a contract management platform (CLM) that would adapt to the company's specific needs, allowing it to be personalized and cover all service areas. The goal was to simplify contract management on a single platform to standardize the creation, revision, signature, and storage, thus improving the strategic collaboration with internal customers and suppliers and facilitating access to information for the entire organization.
Environmental impact
AbInbev has aligned its business strategy with social and environmental objectives, seeking a triple impact: social, ecological, and economic. The digitization of contracts with the contract management software Webdox CLM has contributed significantly to this approach of being ‘paperless,' allowing notable savings in paper consumption and supporting your sustainability goals.
"We have worked with Webdox, a vital strategic partner. When implementing a platform and, in general, when getting on the digital transformation bandwagon, one needs to have a strategic partner on the other side who understands what you want the consumer, which, in this case, is us."
