Economic impact today

Today, FEMSA is a leader in Latin America, with operations in nine countries. We have a diversified portfolio of products that includes brands of soft drinks,  juices, and water. More than 100,000 employees make this possible.

We are aware that improving our environment means ensuring that our operations promote the development of our stakeholders. This is why we work towards bringing economic benefits to the places where we are present, by paying our taxes fully and on time, by working with suppliers and employees from the local community, and by generating direct and indirect jobs. For every direct job in the soft drink industry, we create five indirect jobs; in the Mexican beer industry, every direct job corresponds to four indirect jobs.

Below are a few examples of the ways in which we contribute to the economic development of our communities.
