Quote

“As a leader in the food sector in Mexico, we are committed to the United Nations 2030 agenda. Our focus is to ensure the preservation of essential resources thus maintaining a solid business base. As part of the CFO Coalition for the SDG’s we have a unique opportunity to tie sustainability growth with financial success in the Latin American region. Being the first Latin American woman to join this group, I am motivated to drive change using a fresh gender perspective and serve as an example for more women to join.”
