We positively impact people and communities by promoting social investment projects for sustainability.
OUR STORY
FEMSA Foundation was established in 2008 to create positive changes in the lives of millions of Latin Americans. As part of a company founded more than 130 years ago, we inherited the enthusiasm to transform every corner in which we operate. With strong conviction, we provide tools for a better future.

In Latin America we face complex social and environmental challenges. We must take action today to cause lasting positive effects.
We collaborate with experts who help us find the right approach to solve a problem.
We generate a shared vision of the solution, becoming articulators of multi-sector collaboration platforms.
We build learning and innovation mechanisms to focus, evolve, and improve our processes and programs.
We get communities involved to empower them with solutions, taking into account their context to better address their inclusion.
