Community

We are committed to nutritional health, reducing malnutrition levels, and seeking to reduce food waste.

   Zero Hunger

Casa Doña María Pons

Casa Doña María Pons is located in the Tlaxcala neighborhood, where the first “Doña María” mole factory was established. This project took 10 years from the original idea and, in addition to being a space that celebrates Mexican gastronomy, it also represents the industrial heritage restoration of the people of San Luis Potosí and Mexico.

Fundación Grupo Herdez

Fundación Herdez

For over 35 years, Fundación Herdez has been promoting, supporting, and sharing the richness of Mexican gastronomy both nationally and internationally through research.

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.

Compromiso con el desarrollo social de México Grupo Herdez

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.

Desarrollo y bienestar de los niños Grupo Herdez

Saber Nutrir

Saber Nutrir is Grupo Herdez’s social responsibility program, which contributes to improving the quality of life of Mexican families with food vulnerability, with the aim of contributing to the development and well-being of children in these communities.

We work in alliance with the Pro Mazahua Foundation in communities in the State of Mexico and Yucatan, to carry out child nutritional monitoring, as well as the installation of food security, safe water and marketing projects.
