As part of its Nourishing a Better World sustainability strategy, Grupo Bimbo has established a comprehensive plan to protect and preserve natural systems through its For Nature priority. This plan is structured around three key pillars: Net Zero Carbon Emissions, Zero Waste, and Regenerative Agriculture.

Through its Net Zero Carbon Emissions pillar, the company is implementing a range of strategies to achieve its goal of becoming a net zero carbon emissions company by 2050. One of these initiatives is sustainable mobility. Today, Grupo Bimbo operates more than 7,757 vehicles powered by alternative fuels. Of these, over 4,200 are electric, solidifying its leadership as the company with the largest electric delivery fleet in Latin America and Mexico.

Under its Zero Waste pillar, Grupo Bimbo reported that 94% of its packaging is now recyclable and reaffirmed its goal that by 2025, 100% of its packaging will be recyclable, biodegradable, or compostable. Additionally, in terms of waste management, we have 80 bakeries and production facilities that send zero waste to landfill.

Aligned with its Regenerative Agriculture pillar, the company has implemented these practices across nearly 300,000 hectares, with the goal of sourcing all key ingredients from land cultivated using regenerative methods by 2050.

Alejandra Vázquez, VP Global Sustainability at Grupo Bimbo, stated: “2024 was a year of great progress and significant efforts to continue generating a positive impact on the planet, in the lives of our associates, and in the communities where we live and work. We are very proud of these achievements within our Sustainability Strategy, as we continue to take firm steps toward our purpose of Nourishing a Better World.”
