Arca Continental S.A.B. de C.V. issued the following announcement on Sept. 18.
Arca Continental, one of the most important Coca-Cola bottlers in the world, continues to consolidate its performance and impact on corporate sustainability, reaching the highest international standards. Therefore, it was selected to integrate the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) in its 2019-2020 edition for Latin America (MILA), as part of the companies with the best results in its environmental, social and corporate governance management.
The DJSI, together with RobecoSAM, specializes in assessing the performance, environmental, social and corporate governance of companies, being pioneers in this area and the largest global benchmark for evaluating sustainable business practices.
