More than 30 years creating total value

In line with our social origins, starting in 2020, we began work to clarify our sustainable management. We have been creating total value for more than 30 years, so this work seeks to align and maintain our management in accordance with the best global practices in the sector, in social, environmental and governance matters.

In line with our Strategic Sustainability Policy, we have defined the sustainability strategy. Progress will be reported periodically to the Sustainability Operating Committee. We will do our best to measure our impact and communicate it annually, aligned with international standards that are useful for both Gentera and our stakeholders, using a common language and with the transparency that characterizes us. We understand that sustainable management generates greater impact by teaming up with other entities in society. For this reason, we are members of the Sustainability Committee of the Mexican Banking Association and the Mexican Stock Exchange. Our participation allows us to stay abreast of relevant issues and to strengthen ties with companies that, like us, are committed to creating opportunities responsibly.
