All this, as we continue bolstering our customer centricity to deepen our connection with our customers and improve their overall experience. As we enter the second half of the year, we are confident in our ability to maintain our growth momentum.
Finally, I want to congratulate our team at Coca-Cola FEMSA Argentina, which was recognized by The Coca-Cola Company with the Candler Cup 2022 due to its excellence in execution, talent, and culture. Working together as one single team with our colleagues from The Coca-Cola Company, our team in Argentina have made this recognition possible.”
