PetStar Sustainable Business Model

“The true road to sustainability in plastics is RECYCLING”. Jaime Cámara Creixell

What an encouraging feeling it is to know that our work, vision and values put us in a privileged, committed position: today we are a worldwide reference of excellence at the vanguard in Entrepreneurial Social Responsibility (ESR). That’s why at PetStar we form a family, a firm whose fundamental principle is sustainability. With the participation and commitment of our investors and allies –Arca Continental; Coca-Cola de México; Bepensa Bebidas; Corporación del Fuerte; Corporación Rica; Grupo Embotellador Nayar and Embotelladora de Colima in June 2013 we were recognized as the largest food grade PET recycling plant in the world, according to the prestigious British organization, PCI PET Packaging Resin and Recycling, Ltd. We will say it clearly: today we have the capacity to recycle 3,100 million bottles annually, which would fill the Azteca soccer stadium in Mexico City 2.4 times, to convert 50,000 tons of high quality food grade recycled PET. We have a business model that promotes the concept of inclusive recycling –we participate in the Inclusive Recycling Regional Initiative and our Collection Division developed the PetStar Inclusive Collection Model (MAIP)– 9 processes are presented in the appendices of this publication. To carry this out we have 8 collection plants strategically distributed around the country to provide certainty to scavengers and trash collectors who help the planet and the economy every day by picking up bottles; a revalorization plant for sub-products; and the recycling plant already mentioned. economics because our methods are aligned and integrated like the mechanisms of a clock; from the collection of a bottle to the incorporation of new bottles of recycled contents. Philosophically and conceptually we adhere, as you will discover in the following pages, to initiatives and organizations that define and sustain our profile: The Earth Charter; the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) –in its G4 version, Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), and the Principles of the Global Compact.

We can say clearly without hesitation that our operation generates social, environmental and economic value, essential components of sustainability. So, we don’t understand advancement or progress without the calibration and balance of these three pillars the planet needs when this concerns the responsible use of its geography. Finally, and as an introduction to the contents of these are shared by companies that are born and continue to attend the needs of their consumers. For us, PetStar is the possibility to do business profitably, favoring social inclusion, life in harmony with and respect for the environment.

Letter from the CEO There is no turning back. The planet demands a different business vision and at PetStar we know that it is imperative for us business people to operate and project examples based on the principle of constructing just democratic, sustainable, participative societies. That is why we offer you our First Sustainability Report 2016, a document prepared under the parameters and foundations of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), in its G4 version, the Earth Charter, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and The Principles of the Global Compact. Thus, we show our commitment to transparency and empathy for generating social value, environmental value and economic value for our interest groups, situated 100% in our country. We are pleased that 2016 was a year of challenges and good economic, social and environmental performance, through responsible and profitable management in which we continuously applied criteria of ethics and well-being, with special emphasis on the growth of the communities where we operate. After the expansion of our infrastructure in 2013 and the consolidation of production in 50,000 annual tons of recycled food grade PET resin in 2014, positioning us as the largest food grade recycled PET plant in the world, endorsed by “PCI PET Packaging Resin and Recycling, Ltd.”, in 2015 and 2016 we were able to demonstrate our economic viability by exceeding our EBITDA, Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization goal, in comparison to our Annual Business Plan. We are proud that thanks to satisfactory management processes we were recognized as a Socially Responsible Company by the Mexican Center for Philanthropy (CEMEFI) and the Alliance for Entrepreneurial Social Responsibility (ALIARSE). Similarly, as friends and promotors of the Earth Charter, mentioned above, we are commited and encouraged, as this is one of the principal references for our business practices because by submission to the essence of the document we declare our participation in the concert of the great community of life; the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG of the United Nations) and our adherence to the Global Compact, international initiative to which we reconfirm our solidarity and continuous and effective support. Through the implementation of our PetStar Sustainable Business Model we confirm our vocation to operate with full sustainably, as well as our conviction to achieve a more efficient Circular Economy –to lengthen the useful life of natural resources with recycling– since this practice is preeminent in the design of our policies of social responsibility and goes hand in hand with the Inclusive Recycling that dignifies and formalizes the work of scavengers, natural associates from whom we constantly learn in a virtual circle where we all win, especially, the planet and those who will inhabit it in the future. On another note, we share values and actions, such as providing decent work, combating inequality, mitigating environmental deterioration, and contributing to sustainable development. In short, we are interested in taking part dynamically in the changes necessary for this world damaged by the voracity of those who don’t believe in shared responsibility and collaborating to fulfill the 2030 agenda. So we celebrate the shareholders and all of our collaborators for the support and commitment they offered to make possible the achievements we share here. Thank you for being a part of a change in thinking that we feel is the only possible route to the territory we want to reach in the coming generations. Welcome to this report that expresses the best of a group of people: their desire to make history and demonstrate that we can build a luminous reality.

About this report This report is for operations in 2016 and presents the results of the company’s social, environmental and economic performance. It was produced under the Global Reporting Initiative’s (GRI-G4) guide for preparing sustainability accounts in harmony with the Earth Charter, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and the Principles of the Global Compact, all references that permit us to be in the vanguard and be part of an articulate, expert consensus on the subject of social responsibility. The document in your hands was audited by an independent third party and had expert guidance from Promotora ACCSE, S.A. in the preparation and design process. To define the content, an analysis of materiality was carried out in direct consultation with collaborators, clients and suppliers.

In gratitude,

Appreciation of our home, that is to say, of this land. Maturity, the vanguard, inclusion and capacity for change to generate new forms of social interaction; that is, to carry out an enterprise with another, who also receives a benefit, who complements us. That moves us and defines us. That is why PetStar is the largest food grade PET recycler in the world, and today it is the responsibility of leading firms to work and extend bridges so that everyone can travel to more just times in which the essential thing is to all be connected and grow.

MAKING PET CONTAINER SUSTAINABLE

Operating from this perspective has converted us into the largest bottleto-bottle recycling plant in Mexico. We are constituted as a mercantile society under the regulations as a variable-capital private equity firm. As a recent example, at the close of each year we recycle 50,000 tons of PET in just our state of Mexico plant, with an area of 23,735 square meters, in which we generate 300 direct jobs. Moreover, we have eight collection plants strategically located across Mexico in the following cities: Guadalajara, Monterrey, San Luis Potosí, Querétaro, Ecatepec, Toluca, Acapulco and Mérida.

2016 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT PETSTAR

There will be no turning back for us in our mission because we are concerned about addressing some of the factors causing climate change with the inclusive recycling and circular economy model –concepts that will be detailed below– for, according to the World Bank, Mexico is one of the countries most vulnerable to climate change: 15% of the territory, 68% of the population and 71% of the economy are exposed to the consequences of this global problem.

We are a sustainable project that uses vanguard technology, with the capacity to collect 80,000 tons of PET annually, of which 65,000 tons (about 3,100 million bottles) are processed and transformed into 50,000 tons of food grade PET recycled resin for the production of new bottles. So, we use a fraction of the energy needed for this process in comparison to the energy required to produce virgin resin.

Our generation is aware of the urgency of designing businesses that do not damage the environment that sustains it. We operate under the philosophy of corporate sustainability, that is met when we administer our entire collection structure through an inclusive recycling model with which we promote the recognition and dignification of scavenging –a word that in Spanish comes from Nahuatl and means “looking for serviceable objects in trash centers”–.

At PetStar, led by Arca Continental, Coca-Cola de México, Bepensa Bebidas, Corporación del Fuerte, Corporación Rica, Grupo Embotellador NAYAR and Embotelladora de Colima, we are a mirror of the kind of companies needed now: companies that contribute to creating a Green Economy at the global level. México

How did we achieve this kind of interaction? We offered certainty in payments to the scavenger by bringing them closer to the formal economy, by setting up a company which they feel a part of. A company that empowers them, recognizes and appreciates their work because in the supply chain we avoid intermediaries who add no authentic value to the process or don’t share with us the essential aspects of sustainability: social, environmental and economic. In this spirit we’ve developed a model of community collection centers in such a way that a productive complementary project for rural, indigenous, marginal or urban populations can be created. Yes, we proceed with a logic that designs business models that move us away from practices aggressive with the environment and its inhabitants. This is the case in the Alliance with the Proyecto Sierra Gorda association in Querétaro, a reality supporting the conservation of this important natural reserve. Similarly, we work in coordination with the Tláloc Foundation in various sustainability projects. One example of this collaboration is the Holistic Training Center in the

indigenous Otomi community of San Mateo Capulhuac, in the state of Mexico, which has a sewing center, one for handicrafts, another with computers and soon the equipping of a multi-purpose hall. In this community a local collection center has been set up so that people can complement their income by collecting PET, material gathered in situ via our collection structure. Thanks to the work of our people, the principal engine and heart of PetStar, we were able to extend the benefits of recycling to the scavengers’ children with models like the Community Childhood Development Center (CEDIC) in Chimalhuacán, in the state de Mexico, a project we developed together with Dibujando un Mañana Foundation, an organization that coordinated the efforts of different organizations, such as Un Mañana para la Comunidad, the Comedor Santa María, and HOPE, to offer integrated education, food and medical services. Thus, in 2016, 250 boys and girls were taken care of daily, and our objective is to replicate this model in other regions where we have a presence and where it is indispensable to operate these practices of obvious social value. In addition, at PetStar we have created the Social Investment Fund, a product of the sale of the waste generated by our own processes. This fund supports different social causes bringing in all the interest groups and base population of the recycling chain, as they are the ones we owe for a large part of what is collected in Mexico. Our contribution is more than 1% of profits before taxes, responding to the call from the CEMEFI and making us one of the 77 founding companies that assumed this commitment in our country in 2015.

It is important to emphasize that in October 2014 PetStar incorporated its philosophy of corporate sustainability into the Earth Charter, a declaration of fundamental principles for the construction of a more just, sustainable and peaceful global society in the 21st century. The transcendence of this initiative lies in the fact that it is the product of intercultural conversations on the world scene on common goals and shared values: it is a reliable, consensual compass, map, or route to respect the soil that sustains us. As we’ve mentioned, PetStar’s human talent is its main strength: each person is a wealth of enormous experience, and, as a result, we are developing an internal volunteer program so that those who take part can contribute with their personal background and job skills actively and powerfully. Examples of this include the World Recycling Day, The International Tree Day, and the World Day without Cars, as well as celebrations of popular traditions like the Christmas party for children who use the Santa Maria dining room of the CEDIC. We are happy to report that all these actives have contributed to our receiving the ESR Distinction in 2015 from AliaRSE and the CEMEFI, and we will continue to work to receive it year by year.

And just as we take care of our own house, it is important to note that we are attentive to the international agreements on sustainability assumed by the member countries of the United Nations. Consequently, in November 2015 we celebrated the worldwide presentation of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, a new global objective towards sustainability for 2030; PetStar takes on these challenges to play an active role in the necessary change. So we have committed to making a positive impact on reaching these objectives locally and regionally, as well as inspiring other companies, governments, societal organizations and people to do the same; the obligatory, solidarity and what should flow naturally in us to lift up this world coopted by disinformation and unequal opportunities. Congruently, with the actions we have shared until now, we can’t fail to mention that we have also negotiated our unconditional presence in the Global Compact, an important global network we will become a part of in January 2016, to collaborate in the promotion of sustainable management in companies. Finally, since 2013 we have received confirmation that PetStar “is the largest food grade PET recycling plant in the world” from the prestigious British publication and firm PCI (PET Packaging Resin & Recycling Limited). This European organization is the international reference for information about PET recycling. Of course, all these actions, projections and desires open a door for us that couldn’t be better: the world trusts us and, of course, we trust it.

Social Value

Environmental Value

Economic Value

Through social responsibility schemes and alliances with other institutions, we dignify the work of scavengers and collectors in the country with a fair, stable income and by offering training and inclusion initiatives.

Besides removing containers from the surroundings, PetStar collaborates in the generation of a cleaner environment. In the process of reconverting containers into food grade PET we reduce by 78% the emission of greenhouse gases. As of 2016, with the implementation of a wind and co-generation project, the reduction reached 87%, which is equivalent to stopping all automobile circulation in Mexico City for two days.

Our operation produces value in the supply chain of Mexican Coca-Cola bottlers and contributes to container with recycling. We have eight collections plants; a valorization plant; another one for recycling, and multiple collector associates at the national level. We provide employment for 1000 people and, indirectly, benefit over 24,000 scavengers and waste collectors in the country.

Inclusive Recycling “There is enough in the world for human necessities but not for the greed in people”. Mahatma Gandhi According to the Avina Foundation, linked for over 20 years to collaboration programs for sustainable development in Latin America and the Caribbean, it is estimated that in our region 4,000,000 people make a living by recovering and commercializing recyclable materials like paper, cardboard, plastic and metal. In this context, in 2011 the Regional Initiative for Recycling (RIR) composed of the Multilateral Investment Fund and the Inter-American Development Bank’s Division of Water and Sanitation, Coca-Cola Latin America, the Avina Foundation, the Latin American Recyclers Network and PepsiCo Latin America arose. The RIR sees the light with the objective of improving recyclers’ access to the formal recycling market in Latin America and the Caribbean by designing and implementing activities that allow for:

▶▶ Improving the socio-economic situation of base recyclers. ▶▶ Facilitating their access to the formal recycling market. ▶▶ Promoting the development of public policies of integral solid waste management with the inclusion of recyclers. With these actions, the RIR seeks to make the work done by recyclers recognized and valued through a platform of strategic multi-sectorial alliances that serve as a space for dialogue and action, increasing the capacity for coordination at the national and regional levels between government, the business sector and recycling organizations. At PetStar we take on this vision with a component of inclusion for vulnerable groups not only at the base of our chain, but also by creating opportunities for young people, indigenous populations, women, the elderly, the handicapped and, of course, for children who will change the state of things with a look to a convenient future.

We look to improve the condition of scavengers by giving them a formal role in the supply chain. Dignification and Recognition.

History ▶▶

1995

Our history is an example of transformations in the direction our country and planet need and that is our turn to care for. This adventure began in 1995 with the appearance of Avangard Mexico, a company dedicated to the collection and commercialization of post-consumption plastic waste, which in a short time became the principal collector of this type of material in Latin America, as we started recovering approximately 100,000 tons of material a year. So, a philosophy began and we can share significant moments that today conform and define us.

▶▶

2009

In 2009 the construction of PetStar’s first phase concluded, with the capacity to recycle 28,000 post-consumption bottles annually to convert them into 22,000 tons of food-grade, high-quality recycled resin annually. In 2009 the plant was inaugurated, with Enrique Peña Nieto present in his capacity as governor of the state of Mexico.

▶▶

2013

By the end of 2013 the expansion of the plant, together with the PetStar MuseumAuditorium, was finalized with a capacity to recycle 65,000 tons of post-consumption bottles and convert them into 50,000 tons of food grade recycled resin annually to be consumed by our shareholders, which made us the largest food grade PET recycling plant in the world, a fact validated by the prestigious British firm, PCI (PET Packaging Resin & Recycling Limited).

MAKING PET CONTAINER SUSTAINABLE

▶▶

2001

In 2001 we actively participated in the design and operational execution of ECOCE (non-profit civil association sponsored by the food and beverage industry to promote an ecological culture and the collection and recycling of packaging and containers. In 2002, Avangard Mexico became the operating arm of ECOCE with 14 collection plants at the national level.

▶▶

2011

At the end of 2011 PetStar’s shareholder participation was acquired largely by the Coca-Cola Bottling System, the second largest Coca-Cola bottler in Latin America. This is the birth of the commitment to expand the plant with the construction of a second phase.

▶▶

2014

In June 2014 a ceremony was held to inaugurate the museum-auditorium with the participation by Enrique Peña Nieto in his role as president of Mexico. In that same year, Mexico was recognized as the only county to reach the goal of achieving a recycled content of over 25% in PET containers, according to Coca-Cola’s global Sustainability Report.

▶▶

2006

In 2006, through an association between Avangard México and Promotora Ambiental (PASA), PetStar was established, with Avangard Mexico remaining as a subsidiary.

▶▶

2012

In mid-2012 the first stone was placed in the expansion of our plant with participation by Eruviel Ávila Villegas, governor of the state of Mexico. By the end of 2013. By the end of 2013 the expansion of the plant, together with the PetStar Museum-Auditorium, was finalized with a capacity to recycle 65,000 tons of post-consumption bottles and convert them into 50,000 tons of food grade recycled resin annually to be consumed by our shareholders, which made us the largest food grade PET recycling plant in the world, a fact validated by the prestigious British firm, PCI (PET Packaging Resin & Recycling Limited). governor of the state of Mexico.

▶▶

2015

In 2015, bottlers in the Coca-Cola system, PetStar shareholders, were able to incorporate into their containers the equivalent of 35% of recycled resin, a percentage superior to the 25% percent goal set by the Coca-Cola Company for that year.

Board of Directors Our strong desire is to rely on the best individuals to drive the core of PetStar. Consequently, our board of directors is the maximum management organism and is composed of ten members aligned to that philosophy that denotes us, each one of them as a deputy. These board members must be shareholders, partners, employers or functionaries of a shareholder, with the result that there are no independent shareholders nor do they receive any remuneration. The president of the board of directors does not occupy an executive position in the company.

Thus, we have three types of shareholders with the right to be named board members: I. Coca-Cola México has the right to have three members on the board. II. Arca Continental has right to have four members on the board and to name the board’s president. III. Bepensa Bebidas, Corporación del Fuerte, Corporación Rica, Grupo Embotellador Nayar and Embotelladora de Colima, may have three members on the board. The Auditing and Company Practices Committee has six members and adjuncts, two being designated for each of the different types of shareholders; the president of this committee is named by all of them. The Technical Committee is composed of four members and the director general. The four members are designated as follows: Coca-Cola México, one; Arca Continental, two; and the final member is designated by the remaining shareholders. In addition, the Communication and Social Responsibility Committee was approved, and is composed of four board members and the general director; designation of members is the same as for the Technical Committee. The Board of Directors is where compensation for upper management is determined, based on fulfillment of the previously authorized work plan. In the same manner, topics of communication are evaluated and the Sustainability Report is approved. The general director reports to the board of directors through a written monthly report and attends the trimestral board meetings at which economic, social and environmental impacts, risks and opportunities are analyzed.

“PetStar is a generator of innovative solutions that, thanks to leadingedge technology, transforms efficiently something that for many people is waste, converting it into a high added -value raw material. It’s an initiative that contributes to conserving the environment in benefit to present and future generations.” Alejandro Molina President, Board of Directors and Executive Technical Director, Arca Continental Supply Chain.

“PetStar’s principal value is that it surpasses the challenge of recycling in a completely integral manner, setting an international precedent that can make PET highly sustainable in a beginning and end cycle full of technical, economic, social and environmental virtues. For us it is a source of great pride and renews Arca Continental’s and the Mexican Coca-Cola industry’s commitment to the environment and the Mexican people”.

In the recycling process there are two basic elements:

33

100% of the raw material –the bottles we process– are collected with our collection infrastructure.

Collection Mechanisms

COLLECTION. Recovering recyclable materials from trash collection infrastructure, classifying it and leaving it in a suitable condition for recycling. In Mexico this process is labor intensive and has a high social component.

RECYCLING. Appraising that flow of materials with technology.

Collecting to be able to reincorporate into productive chains. This process is capital and technology intensive. These components, though very different, are indispensable for closing the VIRTUOUS RECYCLED CIRCLE.

MAKING PET CONTAINER SUSTAINABLE

DEPOT

Warehouse that buys recyclable materials where cardboard, metal, PET and others are concentrated.

LAND FILLS

Place where solid urban waste is delivered. It meets the environmental standard and can be administered by the city or a private company.

SEPARATION PLANT

Place where recyclables are recovered and separation of garbage, compost, etc. is carried out.

TRANSFER STATION

Area where waste is deposited and consolidated for subsequent transfer to a land fill. Separation is sometimes done by scavengers.

INDUSTRY

Generates post-industrial material and recyclable waste.

COLLECTION ASSOCIATE

Small establishment that collects recyclable materials, classifies them, processing them with equipment supplied by Avangard.

There were great challenges for us in 2016. We consolidated our collection strategy, permitting us to eliminate intermediaries, who in our case do not add value but do add cost, and allowing us to buy at a competitive price more beneficial for our associate collectors and their gatherers, and thus focus our efforts on providing excellent service in the punctual collection, payment and development of advice and training to our collection network beyond simply price and reorienting our collection model to favor the inclusion of our gatherers. We were also able to advance significantly in making our supply chain more efficient, achieving less waste and maximizing use of all the bottles web buy and the sub-products that this mixed lot generates.

PetStar’s Adherence to the Earth Charter “We do not inherit the land from our ancestors; it is loaned to us by our children.” Native american proverb

Economic Performance

We shouldn’t forget what sustains us: the planet that brings us together and offers us natural resources to create societies, communities, and countries, and prosperity. But what do we give back to the soil, the air, the water that sustains us? Considering the Earth as our home, in 2014 we signed an agreement to adhere to the Earth Charter, as it is the maximum initiative, arising from the international civic society and is the result of a dialogue that lasted a decade among representatives of different people and nations, as well as all the sectors of society, to constitute a document that would contain principles and values oriented towards the conservation of a new global society that would transition to sustainability. With this coalition, we formalize our commitment to contribute to global sustainability, acting locally and regionally as well as sharing this message with our interest groups, including the people who visit the PetStar Museum-Auditorium. Thus, we take on measures focused on the following principles and ways leading us to:

▶▶ Maintain at all times a conduct of ecological integrity. ▶▶ Keep the place where we live clean. ▶▶ Respect the lives of people, animals, and plants because all living beings have rights.

▶▶ Refrain from removing flora and fauna from the places we inhabit.

▶▶ Know and value the place where we reside. ▶▶ Live in a democracy, without violence and in peace. ▶▶ Collaborate so that everyone has what he/she needs to

live with dignity (education, health, rest and recreation). ▶▶ Take care of our surroundings. ▶▶ Recognize the need for everyone to understand and help. ▶▶ As human beings not make war or manufacture arms.

▶▶ ▶▶ ▶▶ ▶▶ ▶▶ ▶▶ ▶▶ ▶▶ ▶▶ ▶▶ ▶▶

Strive for peace in the entire world. Have social and economic justice. Obtain a life of peace throughout the world. Collaborate in erasing poverty for everyone. The same rights for men and women. Recognize that all children should have a school. Have only what we need and learn to share what we have. Respect and care for life. Know, treat well and respect people, animals and plants. Help others and share what we have. Make it possible for more people to enjoy the good, beautiful things that surround us.

In 2016, we trained 1,000 collaborators in the Earth Charter

“If you really believe the environment is less important than the economy, try holding your breath while you count your money” Dr. Guy McPherson

It is gratifying to achieve good economic performance that derives from responsible practices. To cite some important data, in 2015 we were able to surpass by 24% the financial objective stated in the Business Plan and in 2016 we surpassed it by 29%, but not just that. We also surpassed the results of the previous year by 69%. In addition, for the second year in a row our internal financial closure did not have any variation against the audited financial report emitted by EY. In addition, in both years we obtained the audited signed financial report on February 10 for presentation to the board; those accomplishments are the result of the planning and coordination of many activities throughout the year and give certainty to both the office of the general director and to shareholders, who were satisfied, recognizing that these are important, complex achievements. In 2016 we were also able to reduce the level of short-term debt by 75%, to completely liquidate it in January 2017, with the result that today we are in a very healthy financial state.

This program focuses on having the personnel get to know and better understand how different areas and processes function, and on identifying the impact and transcendence of their daily work to develop a deep sense of belonging. The great majority of the personnel said that after this experience their personal commitment to the company is “to do their job with responsibility, quality and a totally positive attitude and to work as a team.”

In all, we accumulated 19,316,626 steps equivalent to 2,454 hours of physical activity, a 12,951 kilometers run and 694,598 calories burned.

We believe it is impossible to move forward if we don’t systematically and congruently add those people who will succeed us in our work. In other words, the owners of tomorrow. That’s why –and with the objective of supporting technical or college students in the development of their skills through inclusion in our business processes– at PetStar we admit, train and encourage the professional internships of young people from different educational institutions. During 2016 we invested 479,000 pesos in the offer of economic support and services required by law to 22 young talents who took part in this new business vision. With pleasure we share with you the allies that educated these invaluable collaborators:

During 2016 several actions were taken to meet the annual Safety, Health and Environment Program. Examples include weekly five-minute talks, projection of safety capsules, reading of the Safety Creed at the beginning of the work day, the medical and vision campaign, and the active calisthenics pauses aimed at preventing muscularskeletal lesions. Thus, we reiterate the importance of protecting the integrity of all the personnel and continuing to work to offer a safe, healthy environment. Focused on attention to a possible emergency, at PetStar we organize groups of volunteers with an attitude of service to make up the Safety and Hygiene Commission and the emergency brigades in each plant that actively take part in the training and simulacrums to give a prompt response for help or prevention, in case of an occurrence putting our personnel at risk.

Ideas in Action Program

Accidents, as everyone knows, can happen. But with initiatives like the one we develop we have been able to protect and share responsibilities with our co-workers to maintain an extraordinary record in workplace safety.

Everything mentioned in this report would lack meaning if we didn’t listen carefully and with a sense of learning to those who collaborate with and make PetStar what it is today. In this spirit, Ideas in Action promotes and facilitates intelligent participation by all personnel through the generation, validation and implementation of ideas focused on obtaining common objectives.

The objective of this program is to recognize each plant’s effort in having reached zero accidents in over a year and motivating its personnel to continue to work at making the plant safe and healthy. These efforts contribute to reinforcing a culture of safety through the commitment of every member and their families to live the value of safety inside and outside the company with the conviction that the reasoning in a safe job should be a life style, making decisions and acting positively to prevent accidents.

This program at the forefront seeks to get at least 30% of the personnel to implement 30 ideas for improvement that should be executed in the course of a year; this process is one of the responsibilities of the human capital area and the resources assigned are part of the time the people who in the organizational structure of that area devote to it. 38% of our collaborators participate in this program.

“As a social force, one individual with an idea is worth ninety-nine with just an interest.” John Stuart Mill

Value Chain and Supplier Development At PetStar we are not alone. We understand that the professionalization and development of our suppliers will permit us to obtain quality raw material, opportunely. This is how we contribute to creating sources of formal, permanent employment. In 2016 we had almost 1,200 suppliers of material, people who carry out the function of basic material consolidators, through whom we serve close to 24,000 scavengers and trash collectors at the national level. Good relations with these suppliers are indispensable. At the collection plant in in Xalostoc, Ecatepec, state of de Mexico, we annually support through economic resources and payment in kind the celebration of December 12th, (the Virgin of Guadalupe day) and the Wasteco garbage dump’s Day of the Magi, which has allowed us to obtain 100% of the fill material for PetStar, as well as preferential prices in garbage reception material.

Similarly and with the same frequency, the company offers economic support for the saint’s day festivities in the town of San Pedro Xalostoc. In 2015 we donated 34,000 pesos and received greater community integration and better acceptance of the plant there, actions creating harmony and mutual benefit that fully align with the logic of responsible economics and solidarity. Additionally, and in a constant search to dignify the labor of scavengers, it is our intention in 2016 to have every collection center install a waiting room for use by the associate collectors; a space where they can receive payment in a comfortable pleasant setting in which they know and feel themselves to be an important part of our organization.

“If I knew the world would end tomorrow, I would still plant a tree.” Martin Luther King This is one of the initiatives we are most proud of because it is another example of caring for the environment and its components. In addition, it commits and defines us as agents of change in the context of the new business culture. Congruent with the concept of reuse, during the year reported we donated to our visitors plants in CocaCola bottles cut in half as flower pots.

Also, in our recycling plant in Toluca we set up a greenhouse that aims to assure the survival and reproduction of plants, by promoting the care and reevaluation of nature among visitors to PetStar’s Museum-Auditorium. The main objective of this greenhouse is to have a greater number of plants survive thanks to this facility that controls factors such as temperature, irrigation, humidity, solar radiation and others related to the favorable development and reproduction of the species. Before we had the greenhouse, an average of 40% of the plants was lost each year. On another note, the production of plants in the greenhouse makes it possible to prevent and control the effects of pillagers and plagues that destroy the plants in specific stages of vulnerability.

To achieve the above, a series of alliances led to the creation of a Community Education and Child Development Center (CEDIC) in Chimalhuacán, state of Mexico, that offers education, food and medical services, as well as the development of life skills, for scavengers’ children so that they can live fully the rights of childhood and improve their quality of life and their families’. This project is carried out in an Alliance with Dibujando un Mañana,–responsible for coordinating the efforts of various organizations to provide the services offered by Comedor Santa María –a recognized association that gives daily meals to 250 boys and girls; Un Mañana para la Comunidad, that takes charge of the educational part through an innovative playful model; and HOPE, that provides medical attention to the Center’s children and the community at large.

Social Performance At PetStar we are moving from social responsibility to corporate sustainability, addressing the following objectives: ▶▶ Improving conditions for scavengers by giving them a formal role in the supply chain. ▶▶ Improving living condition for the scavengers’ children by providing them with education, medical care, nutrition and skill development services. ▶▶ Implementing different strategies to make it possible to generate value in the restrictive sphere of social, environmental and economic systems where we have a presence.

Through the services offered by the CEDIC, 250 boys and girls associated with scavenging raise their academic performance, and have better health and nutrition regularizing parameters of size and weight; they internalize universal values and develop life skills that permit them to socialize and be in a position to decide, when the time arrives, if they want to work as scavengers —dignified scavenging— or continue in school to eventually do something else. This year over 2.0 mdp were destined to operating this Center and the comprehensive attention model was consolidating and enriched with the focus on Children’s Rights through workshops and a manual written for this purpose. Throughout 2016 work was done on the Center’s comprehensive planning, based on a master document that contributes to improving the coordination of the activities of the different social organizations supporting this great effort.
