   Zero Hunger

Fundación Grupo Herdez

Fundación Herdez

We celebrated the opening of the new headquarters of Fundación Herdez in San Luis Potosí, also known as Casa “Doña María Pons”, located in Barrio de Tlaxcala, where the first “Doña María” mole factory was located.

As a result of the 25th anniversary of Biblioteca de la Gastronomía Mexicana, the Foundation prepared and exhibited just about an exact replica of El Cocinero Mexicano, the first book on cuisine of independent Mexico, published in 1831.

In addition, in an effort to contribute to the fulfillment of Sustainable Development Goal 02: Zero Hunger, 1,851.9 tons of food were donated.

Programa alimentación saludable Grupo Herdez

Healthy Eating Program

Through the Healthy Eating Program, we provide nutritional advice to our collaborators through healthy eating plans and follow-up on monthly appointments.

Currently, the program operates in Mexico City, the State of Mexico, Los Mochis, and San Luis Potosí.

In 2022, we had 1,265 appointments with collaborators in Mexico City, the State of Mexico, San Luis Potosí, and Sinaloa.

Thanks to the change in the eating habits of our collaborators, we achieved a total weight loss equivalent to 360 kg in 2022.

Corporate Volunteering

The commitment to contribute to the social development of Mexico is also reflected in the effort of our collaborators. Through corporate volunteering, we annually contribute close to 300 hours of work for the installation of the productive projects of Saber Nutrir.
