Informe Anual 2010
Annual Report 2012
Likewise, in July 2012, the Group participated as a host, “Aquí
Estoy” (Here I Am) at the summer camp organized by the
same institution in Monterrey. The workshop was attended by
young people and adults with an intellectual and/or motor
disability, and throughout the four days that it lasted, Banorte-Ixe
volunteers used simple and fun ways to explain to participants
the importance of saving and how easy it is to make it a habit.
With the participation of 11
Banorte-Ixe volunteers, 345
people benefited directly,
and more than 1,300
people indirectly.
Financial Education Week
In 2012, Banorte-Ixe joined forces with CONDUSEF, SHCP and
ABM in the National Financial Education Week from October
1 st to 7 th .
The week included “Chats with the Experts”, a forum in which 3
company directors gave presentations about: Credit, Retirement
Savings and Investments, which were broadcast nationally
through BanorTV. Their speeches were rebroadcast on different
days and at different times to the whole of the Banorte-Ixe
community so more people could listen to them and Human
Resources published the presentation materials on its Intranet
for employees to review.
Thanks to the generosity of the Banorte-Ixe family, in 2012 we
supported 9 institutions through in-kind donations (construction,
equipment, renovation, etc.) for a total of Ps. 1,603,994.46, and
Fundación Banorte donated Ps. 500,000 in cash.
Red SumaRSE Nuevo León 2012
To reinforce the commitment with community development that
characterizes Banorte, and as mentioned in our 2011 Report,
in February 2011, Fundación Banorte signed a cooperation
agreement with Red SumaRSE made up of Monterrey-area
foundations and companies with the aim of rebuilding the social
fabric of communities in the state of Nuevo León affected by the
natural disaster “Alex” (La Ermita in Santa Catarina, El Realito in
Guadalupe and Capellanía in García in Nuevo León, México).
In February 2012, the first activities report was published
which mentioned the methodology that will contribute to the
reconstruction of the social fabric and the generation of civic
capacity as a as part of the continued growth of this initiative.
The second stage, to be developed in 2013, will consist of
implementing actions to strengthen the following components:
Resilience, Civic Skills, Social Cohesion and Collective Action,
all of which have a bearing on the initiative’s objective.
Súmate Trust
Súmate is a trust comprised of donations from Grupo Financiero
Banorte employees who voluntarily contribute a percentage of
the salary they receive every two weeks to social causes. This is
supplemented by a cash donation from Fundación Banorte to
causes chosen by the Selection Committee, which is composed
of GFNorte volunteers, and which contributes its expertise to
the operation of the program.
