00:00We have been preparing for this very highly dynamic environment that we are going through,
00:06mainly on the geopolitical side. We have been preparing for
00:10many different scenarios for the last three years. Plus, we have been investing on boosting
00:17our own resilience. First, by diversifying our supply chain and investing a significant amount
00:27of capital in getting our operations closer to the customers to be able to serve the local markets
00:38in the right way. We are very well positioned for compelling structural growth, profitable growth,
00:48because we, first of all, play in very highly attractive end markets. It's true that post
00:55pandemic, we have seen a number of headwinds facing those markets, but being a globally
01:01diversified company, both at our business level, what I call the multi-industry business model,
01:08and being geographically very, very well placed, I believe are the two major strengths that are
01:18going to allow us to deliver long-term profitable and sustainable growth.
