In recognition of our efforts to reduce our primary and secondary fleet’s emissions, we earned the Clean Transportation Award from Mexico’s ministries of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) and Communications and Transportation (SCT) for the ninth year.
Currently, 18 of our plants in Mexico have obtained Clean Industry certification from the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (PROFEPA). Moreover, in 2021, 35 of our distribution centers in Mexico received air quality certifications from PROFEPA, the state of Mexico’s Environmental Agency, and Mexico City’s Ministry Secretary of the Environment (SEDEMA). These and other recognitions confirm our commitment to the environment and overall sustainability.
The good performance of our suppliers on sustainability is a very important issue for us, which is why we recognize all of those suppliers that incorporate sustainability into their own business’s DNA not only as a requirement for doing business with Coca-Cola FEMSA, but also as a competitive advantage and a means to become socially responsible. During 2021, we conducted virtual recognition forums for our Brazil, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, and Panama operations, where we recognized 64 suppliers from over 374 participating companies for their remarkable practices. Almost 400 companies participated in these events sharing their best practices. The following are some of the projects that we recognized:
“Leaderson the Move” - Daimler’s project;
“The sun will shine differently in Querétaro” - Siemens’s project;
“Multilateral Gathering Program: Clean Points Tulum” - Tetrapack’s project;
“Circular Economy - Stretch Film Heat Shrink Film" Packsys Mexico’s project.
“Fundación Miguel Torrebiarte Sohanin” - Luces del Norte’s project;
