    Ambev’s Beer Innovation Centre in Rio de Janeiro will be powered by 100% solar energy The installation of over 2,000 solar panels at the BIC to generate clean energy was concluded at the start of the year; the project, developed in partnership with Enel X, marks another important step in the beer company’s quest to purchase 100% of electricity from renewable sources February 2019 – From the second half of March, Ambev Brewing Company’s whole Beer Innovation Centre (BIC), located at the UFRJ Technological Park in Rio de Janeiro, will be fuelled by clean and renewable energy through a project carried out in partnership with Enel X, the Enel Group’s business line specialised in advanced energy solutions, including distributed solar generation. At the start of the year, the installation of over 2,000 solar panels on the location’s roof was completed. Together these panels can produce up to 720 kWp, enough to supply 100% of the unit’s operations during the times of day with greatest solar irradiance. When the BIC’s energy consumption is lower than the capacity generated by the solar facility, excess energy will be made available to the distributor in charge of the energy supply in the region, which can lead to discounts on centre’s energy bill. The project marks another important step in the beer company’s quest to purchase 100% of electricity from renewable sources, a target the firm aims to reach by 2025. At the end of last year, the company announced the construction of a solar plant at the Uberlândia brewery, which will open this year and will have the capacity to supply the operation of all the 13 distribution centres run in the state.

Esta sobrerreacción a las noticias económicas negativas en medio del pánico (covid-19) es normal en el corto plazo, abriendo oportunidades de inversión desde un punto de vista fundamental para portafolios que quieran apostarle a la recuperación económica. Actualizamos nuestro universo de cobertura realizando diferentes ajustes a nuestra metodología de valoración, entre las que destacamos ajustes en la tasa de descuento, expectativas de crecimiento en los diferentes sectores económicos, al igual que nuevas proyecciones macroeconómicas para Colombia y los países de la región. Con base en lo anterior, concluimos que el mercado colombiano presenta un atractivo descuento fundamental, con un índice COLCAP que presenta un potencial de valorización del 38,9%. Es importante tener presente que ninguna compañía nos arroja un potencial de valorización negativo, en otras palabras, la recomendación de Subponderar obedece a que dichos activos rentarán un 5% menos que la expectativa fundamental del índice Colcap Nunca antes el trabajo de un analista fundamental había sido tan complejo, pues las compañías de cara a la coyuntura han dejado de dar su visión de expectativa de resultados para 2020, lo que incrementa el nivel de riesgo de nuestras recomendaciones.

  • Chapter 3: Business for Development
    Chapter 3: Business for Development Multinationals, telecommunications and development Foreign direct investment (FDI) flows have stepped up dramatically around the world since the mid-1980s. In Latin America, the 1990s were a period of accelerated FDI inflows, led by the entry of developed-country multinationals into newly privatised or liberalized sectors. The real change, however, is not in the game but in the players. Of worldwide FDI stocks, the share emanating from developing countries has increased by half, growing from 8 per cent in 1990 to 12 per cent in 2005. Latin American enterprises now also play away from home. Since 2006, the value of annual outward FDI flows from the major countries in the region has flirted with the $40 billion mark. This explosion of outward investment is largely the result of the rapid internationalisation of a small number of large enterprises, mainly from Brazil and Mexico. Indeed, in 2006, Brazil was a net source of FDI, with outward flows amounting to $26 billion, as compared to inflows of $18 billion. The largest Latin American multinationals are in primary commodities and related activities; Mexico’s cement producer, CEMEX, and Brazil’s Petrobras, in oil, and Companhia Vale do Río Doce (CVRD), in mining, are important examples. Services and final goods have also become key areas of multinational activity by Latin American firms, first regionally, and now, for a small number of very successful enterprises, globally. While these firms’ multinational growth reflects diverse corporate strategies, scopes and ambitions, it places Latin America firmly on the new global map of home countries for multinational corporate activity.
