Gabriela Hernandez, President and CEO of GE Mexico, said: ‘We are convinced that the best way to contribute to the care of the planet, is leading by example. Through the participation and commitment of General Motors, GE and CFE contribute to the consolidation of a country and help accelerate sustainable environmental culture of our people.’
