Coca-Cola FEMSA is the largest Coca-Cola bottler globally by sales volume. It operates 56 manufacturing plants and 256 distribution centres, serving approximately 276 million consumers daily across Latin America.
Why does this matter for supermarkets and FMCG supply chains?
Beverage producers are under growing pressure from retailers to meet stricter sustainability benchmarks, particularly around packaging compliance, water usage and carbon reporting.
For supermarkets, ESG performance increasingly influences supplier selection, private label partnerships and long-term procurement contracts. High CSA scores can strengthen a supplier’s credibility within retail sustainability frameworks.
In Latin American FMCG markets, where beverage volumes remain structurally dominant in store traffic and revenue mix, sustainability performance directly affects distribution efficiency and regulatory alignment.
What happens next?
The Sustainability Yearbook recognition reinforces both companies’ positioning as ESG-aligned operators heading into 2026.
Retailers and procurement teams will continue to monitor sustainability metrics as environmental regulation tightens globally. Packaging circularity, water stewardship and supply chain transparency are expected to remain core performance indicators across beverage and convenience retail networks.
