Chedraui Fundation

Publish date: 2024-03-27

The Chedraui Foundation is an institution of great worth for the communities and areas in which the Group has operations and provides services, thanks to its contributions in the areas of education, nutrition, health, housing and support during natural disasters.

In education, it stands out the work of our three Liceos de Artes y Oficios, A.C. which are middle schools located in the cities of Xalapa, Villahermosa and Veracruz that were attended by more than two thousand students in 2012. These students had the opportunity to take courses for their diplomas or technical degrees and to attend numerous workshops and trade courses that will enable them to expand their educational and work horizons to the improvement of their quality of life. In addition, we are continuing our program of scholarships for outstanding students with few resources in Anáhuac de Xalapa University and Universidad Veracruzana.

In the area of nutrition, each of our business units does important work by donating food to thousands of poor families through various institutions. We donated more than 3.5 million kilos of foodstuffs in 2012.

In health, we provided support for the work of a number of institutions this past fiscal year. As in prior years, the aid to the Federico Gomez Children’s Hospital of Mexico in Mexico City stands out.

In housing through the Provivah trust, we helped hundreds of Mexican families with few resources so they could have dignified housing of their own; this year we provided 100 housing units in Matamoros, Tamaulipas and 414 more in La Paz, Baja California Sur.

Chedraui has an important presence in areas where the forces of nature provoke disasters. As a part of our social commitment, this is why we provided support for families with few resources that were stricken by natural disasters in the states of Mexico, Chiapas and Oaxaca.

The social investment of the Chedraui Foundation in 2012 was $21,398,157 pesos. If we add to that $3,525,486 in donations of food by our stores, $16,676,725 pesos that the Group invested in various highway projects that benefited the communities in which we operate, and $4,288,552 pesos collected in various round-up campaigns by all our stores that were fully turned over to various educational, health and social assistance institutions, the social responsibility activities of Grupo Chedraui come to a grand total of $45,889,920 pesos.

Accordingly, our Group is an important contributor to the subject of social responsibility and sustainability in Mexico.
