In a report by ECO, the company assures that it has “a general policy of hedging market risks” for raw materials, in order to “mitigate” exposure to price fluctuations and guarantees that it is “trying to minimise” the impact of prices for consumers.

“We are living through a very worrying time and we are monitoring the evolution of the situation to understand its real impacts”, said an official source from the group that owns the brands Super Bock, Somersby, Água das Pedras, among others, adding, however, that “ the current context, which already has as one of the known consequences the increase in the costs of energy, transport and raw materials, made some occasional adjustments inevitable“, in the products sold.

Despite not giving the percentages of increase “for reasons of competition law”, the Super Bock group guarantees that it is “trying to minimise” the impact of prices for consumers and points out that “the information available does not indicate reasons for ruptures or shortages of products".
