The company achieved a score of 4.1 out of 5.0 in the FTSE Russell ESG assessment, securing its continued inclusion in the FTSE4Good Index Series.

“We are proud of the results obtained in the CDP and FTSE Russell ESG assessments, which show our long-term commitment to sustainability and transparency. While we celebrate our progress, we also continue to work on improvement across all areas of the organization. Because we know things do not just happen, we create them,” said Catherine Reuben, Corporate Affairs Director, Coca-Cola FEMSA.

According to CDP, the “B” rating represents the second-highest performance level within its evaluation system.

In water management, the bottler reported advances in governance, public policy engagement, risk disclosure, and target setting. These efforts coincided with business growth, reinforcing the importance of continued investment in water efficiency technologies. The company said it remains committed to optimizing water use and reducing its overall water footprint.

The company improved its score by 0.2 points year over year, exceeding the average scores of the Consumer Goods sector, the Soft Drinks subsector, and Mexican companies overall. The maximum possible score is 5.0.
