Grupo Our Financiero Corporate Banorte Responsibility Strategy
At Grupo Financiero Banorte sustainability means maximizing the profitability and growth of
the institution, seeking at all times a balanced development among the financial, economic,
social and environmental aspects inherent to our business, particularly in four main areas: the
association with the IFC and the Equator Principles; the adoption of the GRI methodology;
the measurement of our carbon footprint and the UN Global Compact with an emphasis on
education and awareness, with a vision and with actions that ensure that these conditions
remain constant to ensure the permanence of our institution in the long term.
We achieved this through work based on four pillars:
Environmental Responsibility
The responsibility to act with awareness of the environment, conserving the resources
used by the company and undertaking actions that generate environmental
awareness in society.
Community Commitment
The responsibility to support the growth of and to interact with the community,
through actions that take into account its interests along with those of the company.
Equality and Governance
The responsibility to create working conditions with ethical standards that foster
both personal and professional development within and away from the workplace.
Value Chain
The responsibility to offer quality products and services and to encourage suppliers
to adopt more sustainable practices.
These four pillars provide orientation for maintaining a balanced portfolio of high impact
initiatives that define the internal and external strategies that GFNorte implements in its daily
operations with our stakeholders.
In this way we meet our Corporate Responsibility in MAKING MEXICO STRONGER.
Our overall objective is to ensure that being
socially responsible people is
part of Grupo Financiero Banorte’s DNA.
