Leadership that drives our vision with transparency

Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring the highest level of corporate governance.
Members are proposed and elected at the Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting through separate votes by Series A and Series B shareholders, electing 12 and 2 directors, respectively. Directors serve three-year terms and may be re-elected indefinitely.
The Board maintains the following committees: Directors’ Committee, Executive Committee, Culture, Ethics and Sustainability Committee, Audit Committee, Governance, Compliance and Integrity Committee, and Digital Transformation Committee.
Strengthened Commitment to Risk Management
In January 2025, a specialized training session was held for the company’s Board of Directors, aimed at further consolidating an organizational culture focused on effective risk management. Led by the consulting firm ICEBERG, the session covered the following topics:
-
The current context in which organizations operate and the main risks they face.
-
The role of risk management in creating and protecting value.
-
International standards, models, and tools for effective implementation.
-
The risk management approach applied at Coca-Cola Andina.
This initiative strengthened the Board’s strategic vision and aligned its practices with the highest international standards.
As part of this ongoing commitment, a regional meeting was held in April in Rio de Janeiro, bringing together over 15 professionals from the Risk Management teams of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Paraguay, along with representatives from the Compliance area. This week of collaborative work enabled further alignment of objectives, enhanced regional integration, and facilitated the exchange of key insights that support the development of increasingly coordinated and effective management practices.
Additionally, the Risk Management team achieved certification under the ISO 31000 standard—an important milestone that reinforces the company’s commitment to solid, coherent, and regionally aligned risk management.
