Atento Provides Update on COVID-19 Response

Atento S.A. (“Atento” or the “Company”), the largest provider of customer-relationship management and business-process outsourcing services in Latin America, and among the top five providers globally, today announced that, in response to the global spread of COVID-19, telework capabilities have been extended to approximately 46 thousand agents, nearly forty-percent of total, as part of the Company’s efforts to rapidly implement health and safety measures and to maintain business continuity, taking into consideration that its services or its clients services have been designated as essential in most regions where it operates.

Atento has implemented strict health and safety measures at all of its operations and which meet or exceed WHO COVID-19 guidelines and local regulations. In addition to enabling employees to work remotely from home, telework reduces the number of employees at facilities and call centers, helping maintain minimum distances between workstations, among other safeguards that have been implemented across the Company and which are overseen by special regional and global committees.

Carlos López-Abadia, Atento’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our priority is the health and well-being of our employees while maintaining service levels for our clients whose products and services reach more than 500 million consumers in Latin America, the United States and Spain. Our technology and operations teams have worked tirelessly to rapidly ramp up telework capabilities for Atento employees, enabling end-customers to access services from the safety of their homes during the current global crisis. Most recently, we launched COVID-19 call-center services for the governments of El Salvador, Guatemala and Peru, which comprise technology infrastructure and logistics support. Telework at Atento is also being facilitated by the digital transformation process that we have been undergoing since last year, which has included re-skilling and digital recruiting, among other forms of employee development that have been strengthened during the past few weeks.”
