In 2009, around 10,000 hours of training were provided to 1,100 employees through more than 60 activities, in topics related to the procurement chain, manufacturing, administration, finance, sales, and distribution, among others.

Health and wellness

Healthy Space and Health 100
A gymnasium was built at the Alcorta Plant in Coca-Cola FEMSA Buenos Aires. It encourages healthy living habits and physical activity among our employees, giving them access to exercise facilities and equipments at their work place. A number of internal communication campaigns, like Health 100, led more than 200 employees to take advantage of the space.

Environmental care

Supporting the community through paper and plastic cap recycling
To raise funds for the comprehensive development of the Garrahan Pediatric Hospital and raise awareness about environmental care, Coca-Cola FEMSA joined the campaign to collect waste paper and plastic caps. In 2009, our operations collected a total of 120 metric tons of paper and 2,500 plastic caps from soft drink and water bottles.

Reduction in water consumption
Through the introduction of new technologies and the concerted efforts of our manufacturing areas, in 2009 we succeeded in reducing the amount of water consumed in our operations by 6.5% compared to 2008.
