Grupo Bimbo, a global baking company, now operates over 7,757 vehicles powered by alternative fuels, including 4,200 electric vehicles.

The company added 1,779 electric vehicles to its fleet, which will help avoid the emission of an estimated 11,300 tons of CO2 per year in the distribution of products.

Grupo Bimbo also announced that 97% of its electricity used globally comes from renewable sources and sites in 28 countries already operate with 100% clean energy. 

The company launched the BEAR program (Bimbo Environmental Alliance for Reduction of CO2), where the goal is to measure suppliers’ impact to take concrete actions in reducing carbon footprints and promoting more sustainable practices throughout the value chain. 

Details were released in its 2024 Annual Report: “Actions that Transform,” which outlines business progress and advances toward its 2030 and 2050 Sustainability Strategy goals.

Through its Net Zero Carbon Emissions pillar, Grupo Bimbo is implementing a range of strategies to achieve its goal of becoming a net zero carbon emissions company by 2050. 

“2024 was a year of great progress and significant efforts to continue generating a positive impact on the planet, in the lives of our associates, and in the communities where we live and work,” said Alejandra Vázquez, VP Global Sustainability at Grupo Bimbo, in a statement. “We are very proud of these achievements within our Sustainability Strategy, as we continue to take firm steps toward our purpose of Nourishing a Better World.”
