It means being empathic, respecting opinions we don’t share, and having the openness to accept a contrary position as valid. For ALFA, diversity is a strength: we believe that the coexistence of diverse thoughts, customs, religions, genders, ideologies, will result in something innovative, plural, versatile.

We invite you to open your mind, invent a new box, dare to spend time with different people, to listen with a hunger to learn, get out of your comfort zone, and discover what’s out there, just a conversation away. Maybe you’ll discover that something you felt so foreign is actually more like you than you thought…

This issue of ALFA Live includes stories of how thinking in a diverse way led to success at Axtel; the huge catalog of products where Alpek takes part and you use every day; the unexpected people you can meet at Planetario ALFA; the wonderful foreign experiences lived at Nemak; how understanding diversity leads to tailor-made products at Sigma; the Netflix series and movies that show you a new angle and we test your knowledge about ALFA with an infographic.
