3 Message from the CEO THIS IS WHO WE ARE Dear friends, FEMSA believes that the sustainability of our business is responsibility of the company s more than 270,000 employees; people who, day after day, accomplish our mission of creating economic and social value. I am glad to share with you FEMSA s Mid-Year Sustainability Report 2016 entitled This is who we are; This is how we are doing. This report shows the progress we have made in the programs included in our Sustainability Strategic Framework. I hope this publication helps you gain more knowledge about us and our way of doing things. Our sustainability framework is based on our ethics and values, and consists of actions that focus on our people, our community, and our planet. FEMSA Foundation creates social value in the same manner, acting as an instrument for social investment that focuses on water and nutrition projects. Fulfilling our mission demands us to make our best effort, day in and day out; working to improve the way we create value. I would like to invite you, through this report, to learn more about how we focus our actions to achieve this mission, and I encourage you to become part of FEMSA s Actions creating Value. The following are some of the most relevant examples of the progress we have made during the first semester of 2016: THIS IS HOW WE ARE DOING Our Ethics and Values The Business Code of Ethics is the foundation for our daily behavior; therefore, we updated the following issues: Political Contributions, Relationship with Suppliers, Relationship with Communities, and the Whistleblowing System. Our People We strengthened talent management to ensure every one of us takes responsibility for boosting our own, and equally important, our team s professional growth. Our Planet The efforts made by FEMSA Logística represent one of the most significant advances made in this pillar; the coordination of its services with the different Business Units has allowed for a reduction of our operations environmental impact. Our Community We started deploying MARRCO (Model for Addressing Risks and Relations with the Community) at the work centers. This methodology will let us know in depth the interests and needs of our teams, improve communication, and above all strengthen the work we carry out together with the communities where we are present. FEMSA Foundation We channel social investment, focusing on the conservation and sustainable use of water and on improving health among the communities residents using applied technology, science, and education.

5 Sustainability at FEMSA THIS IS WHO WE ARE For more than 125 years, FEMSA has had the purpose of creating economic and social value through business enterprises and institutions; today, this is our mission. The concept of sustainability is a vital element to carry it out; and so it is that we use the Strategic Framework to help us make decisions and perform actions that create social value. What Sustainability means FOR FEMSA? For us, Sustainability is the ability to create the social, environmental, and economic capability necessary to operate today and grow through time in harmony with the environment; with actions based on the company s ethics and values, focusing on our people, our planet, and our community. How are identified the Sustainability related issues that bear relevance for FEMSA? In 2012, we performed an analysis to define the most relevant issues relating to sustainability; not only concerning the company s operation, but also concerning our stakeholders (actors with whom we relate and communicate every day because of our operations). What is the Sustainability Strategic Framework? As a result of analyzing the issues relevant for the company, we defined FEMSA s Sustainability Strategic Framework. This scheme allows us to focus our actions, programs, and initiatives on issues where we can maximize the creation of value. vision Action Areas Pillars Core Foundation 3

6 THIS IS WHO WE ARE serve as the foundation of the strategic framework, which branches into three pillars: We promote the professional and personal development of FEMSA s employees. We aim to reduce our operations environmental impact as much as possible. We contribute to the development of communities, helping them become sustainable. 4

13 Highlights THIS IS WHO WE ARE Talent Management An ever-changing environment and our accelerated growth strategy drive us to strengthen FEMSA s Talent Management even more. There has been a shift in what motivates the newer generations, in our current employees needs, in the ways we use to attract better talent, and in the work models. Thus, we are making an effort on becoming one of the best places to work. Furthermore, we keep encouraging people to become responsible for their own development and for growing together with the business, acknowledging that they are our company s main differentiator. What we do We develop capabilities through processes, technology, and infrastructure so we can boost our people s talent to its highest potential and walk hand in hand with the business strategy. We implement strategies to enable employees as owners and promoters of their own and their team s development.

During this first half year term We carried out assessments and diagnosis to evolve the role of Human Resources within our company, which will allow us to improve the Talent Management processes, creating the conditions for our people to develop and grow at a personal and a professional level. We continued deploying training and development programs to help employees become promoters of their own growth. 11

15 THIS IS WHO WE ARE Operating and growing in harmony with the environment means that we need to promote actions in favor of a culture of conservation and an adequate management of natural resources, as well as investing in technologies that allow us to decrease the impact on the environment. The pillar we call Our Planet focuses on these action areas: Water Energy Waste and Recycling We optimize water usage in order to decrease our water footprint. We endeavor to reduce CO 2 emissions in our operations. We optimize waste management and decrease the impacts coming from our products and services. Indicators THIS IS HOW WE ARE DOING 1.75 Liters of water used per liter of beverage manufactured at Coca-Cola FEMSA 6, Tons recycled by the Waste Management Plan (OXXO) 70% of Imbera s production of coolers uses CO 2 coolant and propane, which decreases environmental impact.

16 Highlights THIS IS WHO WE ARE Sustainable Logistics Management FEMSA serves over 350 million people in 12 countries. The products and services we deliver every day require an efficient and effective logistic system that minimizes environmental impact. This is made possible by having FEMSA Logística as an expert, which designs, operates, and brings results through comprehensive logistic services and incorporates best practices and procedures. In addition, it gives our operations a competitive advantage and a sustainable focus. What we do: We understand the challenges of each of our businesses logistic processes and, together with FEMSA Logística, we develop solutions that optimize fuel consumption and mitigate the emission of pollutants, integrating elements such as: Using specialized vehicles according to route type, equipped with state-of-the-art technology. 24/7 Control centers monitoring operations. Drivers certified in safe and eco-efficient driving techniques. Technicians certified in the proper management of waste. THIS IS HOW WE ARE DOING During this first half year term, throughout our operations: We keep on participating actively in Transporte Limpio (Clean Transportation), a voluntary program developed by Mexico s Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT, for its acronym in Spanish) in which we have been founding members since With this program, we prove our commitment to the environment, adopting strategies, technologies, and best practices that make our transportation operations safer, more efficient, and more sustainable. 14

17 For six consecutive years, FEMSA Logística has undergone assessments carried out by SEMARNAT, reporting the environmental performance results of the Primary Distribution fleet we manage for Coca-Cola FEMSA which has been recognized for its outstanding environmental performance, while Coca-Cola FEMSA s and OXXO s Secondary Distribution fleets have been recognized for their good performance. During this first half year term, throughout our operations: We continue operating under the Sustainable Mobility program, which we use to assess the technical, operational, financial, and environmental feasibility of integrating new technologies and alternate fuels to our operations. During this first half year term, we continued testing using LP and natural gas in utility vehicles as well as natural compressed gas in delivery vehicles; we also carried out liquid natural gas testing for trucks. What s next? During the second half of 2016, we will kick-off operating specialized vehicles in mountain routes, which will let us optimize logistic services by mitigating Carbon Dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions into the atmosphere. This is in addition to the specialized vehicles for flat routes already in operation. The work carried out by FEMSA Logística, redesigning traditional units and providing specialized training for its drivers, is reflected in a continuous improvement and evolution; making it one of Coca-Cola FEMSA s strategic and trusted suppliers.
