Grupo Bimbo held the seventh edition of the 2022 Bimbo Global Race, a race with a cause that brought together more than 341 thousand participants in a new hybrid model; in its in-person format in 15 cities from 10 countries, and in its virtual format in more than 100 locations.
For each person registered, the bakery committed to donating 20 slices of bread to help aid the fight against "Zero Hunger," one of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 2), and with it, help those who need it most in some of the communities where the company is present. Thanks to everyone who joined the 2022 Bimbo Global Race movement, Grupo Bimbo surpassed this year goal, and will donate a total of 6.8 million slices of bread to food banks.
Alberto Levy, Global VP of Marketing, commented: "Thank you to all who decided to be part of this race, not only to be physically active themselves, but also for their desire to help our local communities. The result of their efforts reinforces our purpose at Grupo Bimbo to Nourish a Better World through actions and not just words."
