(102-29)
We are very pleased to present you this Integrated Annual Report for Fibra Danhos, which describes our performance in areas of environmental, social and governance (ESG) responsibility during 2020.
Clearly, the most important thing last year, during the COVID-19 pandemic, was to protect our employees’ health and well-being. We took measures to make it possible for them to work from home, and despite the economic cost of these measures to Fibra Danhos, we kept all their salaries and benefits unchanged.
This reaffirms the priority we place on offering our employees conditions that support their physical and emotional health, and fluid communication that fully demonstrates our commitment to their safety and their human rights.
Furthermore, because we want to make sure our properties are always a source of positive transformation of the environment and contribute to socioeconomic development wherever we operate, we incorporate socio-environmental criteria into all phases of development and operation, along with solutions and systems to measure and mitigate our impact.
In one way or another, this past year affected every type of business that operates in our development, so we are reporting much lower consumption of energy and water, and lower waste generation. These are the most material factors of our operations, which directly affect activities in the properties we manage. But we continued to measure them precisely and this report describes how we managed them.
The most important thing last year, during the COVID-19 pandemic, was to protect our employees’ health and well-being.
In 2020 we revised our Code of Ethics to incorporate aspects like quality, respect for human rights, diversity, professional development and training, occupational safety and health, and others, with specific policies for each of these.
On the matter of corporate governance, because this is the framework within all the other elements are managed, Fibra Danhos incorporates ESG factors into our decision-making. The committee in charge of this area is made up of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Investor Relations Officer, Chief Human Capital Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Marketing Officer. One thing worth mentioning is that in 2020 we revised our Code of Ethics to incorporate aspects like quality, respect for human rights, diversity, professional development and training, occupational safety and health, and others, with specific policies for each of these. With this we increasingly align our actions with the highest international ESG standards.
This was the third year in which we prepared our report in accordance with Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) indicators, almost all of which were covered this year, demonstrating our commitment to being a company that is not only profitable but socially and environmentally responsible as well. This is the first year we are incorporating some indicators of the SASB (Sustainability Accounting Standards Board) relating to the real-estate industry.
As signing members of the United Nations Global Compact since 2019, we support the Sustainable Development Goals and contribute directly to achieving seven of them. This report also serves as our first Communication of Progress (CoP) toward those goals.
These efforts earned us Socially Responsible Enterprise distinction from the Mexican Center for Philanthropy (CEMEFI).
We invite you to read this report on the progress, challenges and opportunities we encountered last year, which serve as the basis for us to continue on the path of becoming an increasingly better company for all our stakeholders and for our country.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Cherem Daniel
