Human Rights Due Diligence Process
As part of our commitment to the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, we have established comprehensive human rights due diligence processes to identify, prevent, mitigate, and, when necessary, remedy potential adverse impacts on our employees and local communities.
The due diligence methodology is applied consistently to four key stakeholder groups: local communities, company personnel, suppliers, and security providers. This approach is strengthened through participatory social diagnostics, where both men and women participate on equal terms which help identify and prioritize human rights risks specific to each operational context. These diagnostics are the basis of the Social Management Plans, which includes project designed specifically for women.
We maintain an open and permanent grievance mechanism through our Support and Attention Center (SAC), which serves as a two-way communication channel between the company and surrounding communities. This platform allows individuals to raise concerns, particularly those related to human rights, ensuring timely, confidential, and effective resolution.
Furthermore, we uphold strict policies and procedures to eliminate any risk of child labor, forced labor, human trafficking, or violations of freedom of association and collective bargaining. These policies are enforced across all operations and are aligned with applicable national regulations. In addition, Grupo México endorses and implements the Children’s Rights and Business Principles, developed by UNICEF, the UN Global Compact, and Save the Children, to ensure that business activities do not negatively affect children or vulnerable groups.
