Summary of GRI Content 57 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2 INTRODUCTION In this report Grupo Bolsa Mexicana de Valores presents the advances ,during 2014, in the field of sustainability of each of the companies in the group. We recognize the importance of keeping our stakeholders informed on the internal activities and projects that promote the adoption of new corporate governance practices and the relevant actions within the social context and environment. The BMV Group, composed by financial services companies, identifies that the main environmental impacts of the group are in the use of paper, water and electricity. For the preparation of this report, it was used as a reference the methodology of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), version 4, which responds to current trends and is the internationally most widespread method for business social responsibility reports (Responsabilidad Social Empresarial, RSE). This report is published annually and is available on the page www.bmv.com.mx Ramón Güémez Sarre [email protected] T: +52 (55) 5342.9000 3 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT BMV GRUPO 2014 Jaime Ruiz Sacristán LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD Today, we know that investors make decisions by evaluating other aspects beyond credit quality, where responsibility, social and environmental, incurred by corporates is a key value to consider. In this context and taking into account that stock exchanges play an important role in the economic and financial development, we recognize the BMV Group is in a unique position to promote a culture of sustainability and corporate responsibility to ensure the economic growth and long-term business that will raise the level of investment practices. In the global financial sector in order to encourage responsible investment approaches and corporate transparency, various initiatives have emerged as Sustainable Stock Exchanges (SSE) of the United Nations. To the respect I am pleased to report that the Mexican Stock Exchange is integrated in this initiative to strengthen our strategy and commitment to sustainability, aligned with best market practices. Another effort at the global level, where the BMV Group confirms its firm commitment, is the Global Compact of the United Nations; which establish a platform for dialogue and learning in the field and provides a practical framework for organizations committed to sustainability and responsible corporate practices, framed in the ten principles universally accepted, which are grouped into Human Rights Standards, Labor, Environment and Anti- Corruption. SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 4 José-Oriol Bosch Par LETTER FROM THE CEO The role of the BMV Group within the national financial system is of great importance as a mean of financing for Mexican corporations looking to grow and strengthen its operations, generating employment, economic growth and social welfare. Moreover, with the recent structural reforms and particularly the energy reform, there are new opportunities for the group to develop innovative investment vehicles to meet the new needs of the sector. We consider it important to promote activities that provide efficiency in the internal processes and are focused on improving products and services that the market demands. In this sense, BMV Group, has worked to develop the sustainability strategy of the group in proximity to interest groups; we emphasize, that together with our authorities, launched a program to facilitate the listing of new companies on the Stock Exchange, we promoted the trading culture with events such as the award of financial markets and the entrepreneurial student. Also, we have launched a campaign to spread the code of ethics and conduct within the BMV Group employees through the “Group BMV, a group with values” program. Similarly, from the Mexican Carbon Platform, MEXICO2, we continue to promote the development of environmental markets promoting with corporations the neutralizing of greenhouse gases emissions (GGE). Finally, I would like to point that the Mexican Stock Exchange continued to be of the sample of corporations that make up the Sustainable Index, a fact that fills us with satisfaction and pride while committing us to continue working and strengthening our sustainability strategy with all companies and employees of the BMV Group; supporting actions to promote a culture of corporate responsibility, social and environmental, in the Mexican financial market. 5 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT PROFILE OF THE ORGANIZATION BMV GRUPO 2014 PROFILE OF THE ORGANIZATION BMV Group Companies BMV - Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, S.A.B. de C.V.
