Our Board of Directors is at the head of FEMSA’s corporate governance system, guided by what is in the best long-term interests of our company’s shareholders and other stakeholders. Our Board is responsible for approving our corporate strategy; advising management on significant issues; defining and overseeing the implementation of our key values and vision; and reviewing and approving related-party transactions and transactions not in the ordinary course of business.

In addition to our executive team, our Board of Directors is supported by its committees: the Audit Committee, the Finance Committee, and the Corporate Governance Committee. Our Board appoints and supervises these committees, which assist and make recommendations to our Board in their respective areas of responsibility.
