Sustainability and Environmental Initiatives

Grupo Herdez demonstrated a strong commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.

This accomplishment reflects the coordinated efforts of their logistics, supply chain, and sustainability teams, as well as collaboration with strategic partners like CHEP.
