In a context where water resource management represents one of the greatest global challenges, Coca-Cola FEMSA is driving a comprehensive strategy focused on operational efficiency, water replenishment, and access to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). Currently, the organization reports the most efficient water use ratio in its system, having achieved an indicator of 1.36 liters of water per liter of beverage produced during 2024. Operational Efficiency and Social Investment The company's responsible management extends beyond its production plants. According to company data, over 70% of its social projects are linked to water initiatives with community impact. Catherine Reuben, Director of Corporate Affairs at Coca-Cola FEMSA, highlighted that operating efficiently and caring for ecosystems is a concrete way to generate well-being and transform commitments into real impacts for the communities where they operate. Local Actions with a Regional Vision Coca-Cola FEMSA's strategy is materialized through projects adapted to the specific needs of each territory, executed in partnership with authorities and organizations: Panama and Costa Rica: Reforestation programs are being developed aimed at the active protection of water sources. Mexico: In San Juan del Río, an infrastructure project was executed that included the construction of a storage tank to improve water access for over 20,000 people. Colombia: Initiatives like "Filters that Give Life" and mobile water purification units facilitate access to the resource in rural areas. Argentina and Brazil: Through "Summing for Water," more than 6,500 people have benefited, while in Brazilian territory, water neutrality goals are being advanced with a potential savings of 452 million liters. With these results, the company consolidates water management as a fundamental pillar for sustainable development and resilience in Latin America, ensuring that operational growth goes hand in hand with the preservation of the natural environment.
