Quito, February 26, 2021. Tonicorp, a company owned by Arca Continental and The Coca-Cola Company, signed with the Global Compact a leadership agreement for Sustainable Development Goal 2 in order to work in tandem with public and private organisms to end hunger and reduce the malnutrition gap in Ecuador.
The event was attended by representatives from several trades and chambers, led by the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Food Program (WFP), who explained the
country's malnutrition problem, sharing data and inputs to help adequately understand nutrition conditions and the social and economic impact they have in Ecuador.
