Colgate-Palmolive to Leave Mexico City: The company became the second major firm to announce that it will leave Mexico City because of concerns that it is contributing to pollution in one of the world’s most contaminated cities. However, company Vice President Salvador Martinez said it had privately conducted tests that show that the plant’s emissions are within federal limits, and workers will install new pollution-control equipment in June, according to a report in the daily El Universal. The company will move most of its operations to a site in the central part of the country. The move is expected to take up to three years and cost $50 million.
