IBERSOL | Integrated Management Report 2022

After two years in which the activity was affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, 2022 was marked by the start of the war in Ukraine at the end of February, which triggered an unprecedented escalation of the inflation rate and the increase in costs of our activity. Despite this framework and all the economic uncertainty generated, resilience and adaptability were once again the watchwords for Silva Carvalho Catering and Palace Catering. In a year that started in con- finement, the two brands held around 630 events, serving more than 370,000 customers, unequivocally consolidating our presence in the domestic market. We were the elected caterer for 28 congresses in 2022, of which we highlight the OCC Congress, lasting 3 days and about 5,000 partici- pants per day, the Herbalife event, lasting 3 days and 1,150 partici- pants per day, and the TRA, lasting 5 days and about 1,450 partici- pants per day.
