We are pleased to share with you the activities we performed in 2015 through FEMSA Foundation. This year, the path we have followed since we started operating seven years ago, has not only led us to results, but also allowed us to expand our vision into the future by fostering innovation and cooperation among different sectors in order to address more effectively water and nutrition challenges in the communities where we operate.

Under his leadership Imbera developed into the largest commercial beverage refrigeration company worldwide and PTM is now the Mexican leader in plastic products for materials handling.
Strategic Alliances
Close cooperation with partners that contribute with their efforts, capacities and knowledge to multiply results is at the core of our work. During 2015, we strengthened alliances that allowed us to have a positive impact on communities in Latin America and the Philippines.
Board of Directors
Thanks to the work of our Board of Directors, at FEMSA Foundation we have been able to outline a better future for the communities where we work. Every member of our Board has the essential job of directing our efforts. A way they do so is by considering the projects presented, after previous assessment, by both the water and nutrition areas in order to continue benefiting people.
Our Investment
At FEMSA Foundation, we aim to multiply the benefits we bring to communities. In 2015, we guaranteed over US $21.61 million in investments along with our partners. In other words, an additional US $3.42 for each dollar invested throughout the year.
