 million unit cases, an 8.2% increase over the same period of the previous year, with Paraguay growing 12.0%, Chile 8.6%, Brazil 8.1% and Argentina 6.2%.

Our company values both financial results and sustainability †achievements, which are fundamental pillars of our purpose. In 2024, we achieved significant milestones that demonstrate our commitment to the environment and social responsibility. In December we were ratified in the Dow Jones Chile Index for the ninth year in a row, as well as the Dow Jones Sustainability Index MILA Pacific Alliance for the eighth year in a row. These accolades highlight our dedication and perseverance, establishing us as the best-ranked Chilean company in our industry and one of the top five globally. We'd also like to point out that we made our commitment to establish a carbon emissions reduction target for 2030 public this year by signing a commitment letter with the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), and we're currently validating targets for all three scopes. During 2024, we completed two significant projects that reaffirmed our commitment to sustainability. We opened the ReCiclar plant in Chile in August, in collaboration with Coca-Cola Embonor, to produce recycled food-grade resin that will be incorporated into our bottles beginning in 2025, preventing thousands of tons of plastic from ending up in landfills. In November, we reopened our plant in Mendoza, Argentina, with a modern production line for returnable bottles. This initiative, with an investment of about USD 40 million, not only reaffirms our commitment to Argentina and its returnability, but also helps us reduce costs and our carbon footprint. Regarding soft drink returnability, we closed the year with 45.3% in Argentina, 40.0% in Paraguay, 39.8% in Chile, and 23.3% in Brazil, all of which were consistent with the previous year, placing us among the top bottlers in the system globally in terms of this indicator.
