Code of Ethics: The Code of Ethics and Conduct governs the guidelines and actions that FIFCO expects from internal audiences that maintain a business relationship with the company; therefore, it applies to all subsidiaries, departments and collaborators and is shared with suppliers. An updated version of this code was launched in 2017.
Financial Statements: In order for investors and stakeholders to have access to the company’s financial information, FIFCO presents quarterly Interim Financial Statements and annually Audited Financial Statements.
FIFCO’s Objectives: FIFCO has a strategic map defined for the year 2020 guided by the “North Star” or main goal, where we want to “Enrich every beverage consumption occasion”.
Share Ownership: Currently, FIFCO does not issue shares to place in the stock market. To date, no shareholder, alone or through an intermediary, has more than 10% of the outstanding shares.
Transactions with related parties: Good Corporate Governance practices emphasize the proper management of entities, prevention and management of conflicts of interest, transparency and accountability; that is why FIFCO discloses in note 25 of the Financial Statements, the detail of transactions with related parties.
Relevant facts: Page 38 of the 2016 Integrated Report shows the relevant facts or main situations that have materialized or have positively or negatively affected the achievement of the business objectives.
Compensation policy: Compensation policies have been established according to the different levels of the organizational structure.

At the Management level (Directors of strategic business units) and managers, the general compensation plan establishes a scheme composed mainly of base salary, medical and life insurance, and annual bonus for the achievement of objectives, in cash and in shares. The shares used in the performance-based compensation plan are purchased in the secondary market. This scheme works as a retention plan, because the shares are assigned to the beneficiaries in a 4-year term.
