His Excellency Andrés Manuel López Obrador


Presidente Constitucional de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos
Plaza de la Constitución S/N,
Centro Histórico de la Cdad. de México, Centro, Cuauhtémoc,
06066 Ciudad de México, CDMX, México

Dear Presidente López Obrador:

As the leaders of companies with manufacturing facilities across Mexico, we appreciate


the critical steps that Mexico is taking to slow the spread of COVID-19. It is in that spirit that we
come to you, your government, Mexican state governors and local leaders as partners
committed to taking all necessary measures to protect the lives of our employees across Mexico
amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

We are, however, deeply concerned about the health emergency decrees issued by
Mexico’s Ministry of Health and state governments that have resulted in the forced or
threatened shuttering of our companies’ essential manufacturing facilities, as well as those of
our suppliers, imperiling our ability to deliver critical supplies and daily essentials to citizens in
Mexico and across North America.

This is a pivotal moment. We are working with urgency to arm our health care providers
and other COVID-19 frontline workers with the resources they need to save and protect the lives
of our fellow citizens. The shuttering of our companies’ and suppliers’ facilities in Mexico,
however, threatens to undermine that effort.

We urge Mexico to recognize and reciprocate, for the purposes of determining if a


manufacturer is designated as essential and critical, the guidance issued by the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA),
as a baseline, to the maximum extent possible. By doing so, Mexico will help ensure that (a)
manufacturers of essential and critical products and components can continue operations in
Mexico and (b) disruptions to the North American manufacturing supply chain are minimized at
this critical time.

We assure you that the health and safety of our employees and communities in Mexico
is our highest priority and that we are deploying every possible best practice procedure and
process, including appropriate physical distancing and the utilization of personal protective
equipment. Our employees recognize the important work that they are performing to support our
critical infrastructure industries and essential services, and they are committed to delivering the
very best products and services at this important time.

We stand ready to work with you as we respond collectively to the COVID-19 pandemic,
and we look forward to our continued partnership in the days ahead.

Sincerely,
His Excellency Andrés Manuel López Obrador
