Thank you.
We've had successful operations in Honduras dating back to 1997, so we've been in the country for an extremely long period of time. Our positive experiences there have really allowed us to expand our operations to the point we have built up, as I mentioned in my presentation, a $500-million investment, with four textile facilities, two sock manufacturing facilities, and four sewing facilities.
We believe that one of the greatest methods to improve conditions in countries such as Honduras is to develop their economies. That's really what our focus has been. We employ 20,000 people in the country. We're the largest private sector employer in Honduras. We participate actively in the communities in which we operate. Again, we have made a significant investment in our CSR practices, in educating our employees, and in putting forward safety measures for our employees, including awareness campaigns to ensure their public safety in carrying out their day-to-day lives.
The working conditions that we offer—the on-site medical clinics, the subsidized meals, transportation, the overall benefits that we offer them to allow them to earn a living wage that is over and above the industry minimum standards—has made our experience positive. I think that's demonstrated by the rapid increase in the investment we've had in the country since we opened our first facility there in 1997.
