In 2011, we grouped all of the actions and programs that we undertake to benefit our society at large under the concept of Sustainability. This concept not only integrates all of our operations’ social, economic, and environmental aspects and actions, but also paves the way for our company’s sustainable development now and far into the future.

Introduction

Our firm commitment to sustainability was recognized by the Mexican Stock Exchange for its new Sustainable IPC—its first index of companies that met international standards for environmental and social responsibility and corporate governance. We were one of only 23 companies selected for this exclusive listing.

For the fourth consecutive year, we applied the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G3 Sustainable Reporting Guidelines, and, for the first time, when applicable, we used the Food Processing Sector Supplement to produce our 2011 Sustainability Report, achieving an application level of A, the highest level available.
