Básicos de México, SmartFish and Abeja Reyna, are the three companies that come together as suppliers to offer items that, as our vision says, make a better day for the majority of people, generating a social and environmental impact in their communities. «This incorporation is very exciting for us, since it is the first time we collaborate with local Mexican suppliers. These social entrepreneurs have demonstrated their ability to address systemic problems and generate innovative solutions, adding value to their environment and promoting economic development.
