Cafe Select
Coffee is one of the most frequently consumed products in our stores, so we are continually working to offer customers the highest quality beverage. We work closely in tandem with Mexican farmers to promote sustainable practices through strategic alliances.
Through these, we provide farmers with inputs like fertilizers and various varieties of coffee plants, so that they can produce coffee with the quality we require. These initiatives also contribute significantly to the economy of local communities. Additionally, these initiatives contribute significantly to the economic development of the communities.

We continued to use coffee cups made out of agave fiber, which were 100% recyclable.
We also sell refillable mugs, which reduce our environmental impact by cutting down on disposable cup waste.

cups of coffee we brewed in 2023 was sold in a refillable mug, equivalent to 112 tons of paper saved
We also continued to phase out glass coffee carafes in our coffee shops and replace them with thermoses, which keep coffee fresher and better tasting for a longer time, avoiding waste.

7-Reserve Campaign
In 2023, we launched 100% arabica coffee from El Salvador, certified by the Rainforest Alliance, to improve the experience of customers who consume our Cafe Select, protect El Salvador’s rainforests and natural resources, and support coffee growing communities by helping them improve their standards of living.

Biodegradable Disposable Products
We strive to offer products with less environmental impact through our biodegradable disposable portfolio which includes various products available to our customers, including spoons, forks and napkins.
We continued to build awareness about avoiding single-use plastics, selling reusable tote bags in our stores and encouraging customers to use these instead of plastic bags. This program was launched across the nation.
