• Located in Vitoria-Gasteiz, the logistics centre will supply supermarkets in the Basque Country, Navarre, La Rioja, Cantabria, and Burgos.

Its goal is to continue to improve its work-life balance measures, an area in which Mercadona already leads the way, and this new initiative has been trialled in 31 of its stores.

• This measure, which will enter into effect as of the 3rd of August, is a milestone for the company and for the distribution sector as a whole, as workers will now have 2 full days off a week and they will also enjoy 8 long weekends a year.
• The work that has been carried out by the Collective Agreement Observatory, which was created by the company alongside union representatives in 2019 to promote these kinds of measures, has played an essential role in streamlining the implementation of this initiative.

Pursuant to Art.10.2 of Spanish Royal Decree 463/2020 declaring the State of Alarm to address the healthcare crisis caused by Covid-19.

• Mercadona, with the objective of protecting the health and safety of our customers and employees as well as ensuring the supply of our stores, is updating the measures adopted last 16th, 19th, 23rd and 26th March, 3rd April, and 11th and 14th May, supplementing them with another that will come into force on Monday 1st June, underlined below so as to be more easily identified.
