Grupo Bimbo is a leading Mexican company in the bakery industry worldwide. It is present in 33 countries in 4 continents and has annual sales of 15 billion dollars. Corn is one of the company’s most important raw materials.

Care for the environment is a priority for Grupo Bimbo and to guide the processes in its supply chain in a sustainable manner, it has created different Global Policies focused on agriculture and risk inputs. The sourcing of sustainable and responsible raw materials is one of the main focuses of these policies. For this reason, with the support of the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), the project “Sustainable Agriculture” was created, which since 2017 supports its corn suppliers in the implementation of good agricultural practices to reduce the environmental impact and improve the quality of the corn produced.
