2020 was a year
in which we
were tested...
Dear
Shareholders:
I hope that you and your families are staying safe and healthy.
2020 was a year in which we were tested, confronted by the uncertainty caused by the proliferation of COVID-19 which required us as individuals, as a family, as a company and as a community, to rise to meet the great challenge of the pandemic with unity, creativity and dynamism.
While the pandemic put the whole world on hold, we at Grupo Bimbo worked with more determination than ever to feed our world, taking care of our associates’ health, our customers and consumers, and the communities we serve. We acted with focus, to transform and streamline our processes; with flexibility, to adapt to new ways of working; and with enthusiasm, to fulfill our Purpose of Nourishing a Better World.
Today we are
the global leader
in the baking industry
