Quality of life in the company

Plant visits
In order to promote that family members are familiar with the activities of our employees, Coca-Cola FEMSA Nicaragua held weekly visits to our facilities during 2009.

Back to school
In order to support the personal development of employees, the manufacturing area of Coca-Cola FEMSA Costa Rica, together with the Employees Solidarity Association, implemented the Back to School program. This initiative gave 34 employees the opportunity to finish their high school education.

Health and wellness

Health through sports
To promote health care and encourage physical activity, Coca-Cola FEMSA Nicaragua organized various activities in 2009, like the Soccer Tournament and an Aerobics program joined by close to 300 employees.

Get into the Game
In 2009, a program called Apúntate a Jugar (Get into the Game) introduced by Coca-Cola FEMSA Nicaragua and Panamá, in partnership with the Ministries of Education, encouraged physical activity among more than 2,000 schoolchildren through age-appropriate dynamics and games.

Environmental care

Fuel efficiency campaigns
To improve the fuel efficiency of our fleet of vehicles, a program of major engine repair was carried out in Coca-Cola FEMSA Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Nicaragua. In Guatemala alone this program saved more than 195,000 liters of gasoline, directly improving the amount of emissions produced by our vehicles.

Fleet upgrade
At Coca-Cola FEMSA Panama, we invested in upgrading our fleet of vehicles, bringing in new vehicles that optimize fuel efficiency, directly benefiting the atmosphere.

Planet Mission
Coca-Cola FEMSA Costa Rica supports the Planet Mission program, which focuses on recycling and the promotion of an environmental culture. In 2009, an important activity was the Beach Cleanup Day in the region of Tivives in Puntarenas, where 360 employees and their families participated, collecting 967 metric tons of PET and 2,300 metric tons of other waste materials (plastic, cardboard, wood, glass, and others).
