STRENGTHEN OUR COMMUNITIES
Aware that this objective requires the work of many actors and alliances, we put our grain of flour in favor of the welfare of people and communities where we operate through our Good Neighbor, Volunteer work, and Social-Donations Investment programs. We also donate to food banks and provide support in disaster areas.
We want to create a positive impact and give back to where we operate. The Social Investment program and partnerships with Civil Associations allow us to respond to the commitment, by supporting and promoting the sustainable development of communities.
Through teamwork, dialogue, and collaboration, we strengthen our bond with the communities in which we develop programs for the well-being of all. The transformation process generates positive results for all stakeholders.
Our associates, family, and friends proactively participate in virtual, hybrid or in person volunteer activities, whether in-person, virtual, or hybrid. They donate their free time, in-kind resources, or monetary donations. They also share their personal or professional skills by doing pro bono work.
We offer financial assistance to our associates when they are affected by disasters or humanitarian contingencies.
267 Good Neighbor projects.
More than 533 thousand people benefited from the Good Neighbor Program implemented in 31 countries.

We achieved: More than 2,800 students have access to water captured and reused water. More than two million liters of water can be collected annually, reducing dependence on external sources.
