W

e have achieved innovative, efficient and exceptionally good results from the work of people who are proud, committed, passionate and dedicated. There are 726 workers who apply our REIR values in all our operations. For us the managing human resources is extremely important, here we ensure the development of their skills and abilities, and at the same time, we encourage them and value their contributions.

3.1. HUMAN RIGHTS AND OUR REIR VALUES

(GRI 408-1, 103-1, 103-2, 103-3)(GRI 409-1, 103-1, 103-2, 103-3) (Global Compact - Principle 1, 6) (SDG 8.7, 16.2)

For us, the human rights of our workers and other stakeholders we relate to, are important. This topic is included and highlighted in our Code of Ethics which emphasizes our REIR values: Responsibility, Excellence, Integrity, and Respect, which our collaborators live by freely and voluntarily. We are convinced that these values must be lived both at the family and the work level, in order to be stronger and be consistent in their daily lives. To ensure knowledge of the Code of Ethics and our values, two in-person, four hour trainings are conducted each year, where all CMI Capital associates have access. In this code, the policies derived from each REIR value are explicitly stated. As far as respect is concerned, it states:

“Respect is the consideration that we give to the rights of others and the legal system that supports these rights. Respect implies understanding that every person has an intrinsic dignity, independent of the circumstances such as socioeconomic status, individual preferences, ethnic origin, educational level, or location in or outside the organizational structure.¨ Code of Ethics - CMI

With respect, CMI Capital promotes work environments free of threats or violence in any of its forms, to avoid actions related to verbal, physical harassment, intimidation, hostility, solicitation of favors or sexual behaviors. The following policies derived from Respect stand out: • Respect for the person and his rights • Respect for individual freedom • Policy against sexual abuse and harassment Although our REIR values include human rights at the general level, with respect to the value of Excellence, there is a policy to support the eradication of child labor aligned with one of the principles of the United Nations Global Compact. Thus, in Guatemala, at the end of 2019, we gave an award which recognized associates who live and represent our REIR values. The award was granted in public during our company’s Christmas party. The winners were chosen by all associates in Guatemala and the winners were those who obtained the most votes.
