ABOUT THIS REPORT
We are committed to transparency in all our activities and relations with stakeholders.
MATERIALITY
A study of materiality is a process whereby the social, economic, environmental, and ethical aspects relevant to a company –in this case, Gentera– are identified, both intrinsically and in terms of their effect on the company’s stakeholders.
We carried out this study in collaboration with specialized consultants of the agency KPMG, in the aim of even more closely aligning our sustainability strategy with the needs and expectations of our stakeholders and of identifying the priority public matters to be dealt with in this annual and sustainability report. The results of the study are presented in the following graph.
STAKEHOLDERS
We maintain communications and information media at the disposal of our stakeholders in order to offer prompt responses to their needs and requests.
PARAMETERS OF THE REPORT
This report, which deals with both financial results and sustainability, details the results, actions, and progress achieved by Gentera S.A.B. de C.V., formerly Compartamos S.A.B. de C.V., in the course of 2013.
The structure and contents of the report were determined by the materiality study carried out during the year reported on by KPMG. The following areas of the company are covered: economic and financial matters, relations with stakeholders, relevant operations in Mexico, Guatemala, and Peru, the principal dimensions of the companies that make up Gentera (Compartamos Banco, Yastás, Aterna, Compartamos S.A. –Guatemala–, and Compartamos Financiera –Peru), the environment, social actions, and community links,
The report has been prepared in line with version 3.1 of the international methodology of the Global Reporting Initiative, a methodology which has been used by the company in reporting annually since 2008.
All of the figures and information presented has been obtained through interviews, meetings, and surveys with the different areas involved. The report has been validated in collaboration with Gentera’s internal audit department and collated with the data of the companies audited financial statements in order to ensure that the information reported is accurate and consistent, year over year, and that no significant changes in coverage or scope exist with respect to the data reported in 2012. The entire process has been carried out with the support of McBride SustainAbility.
The report was externally verified, as regards correct application of the methodology, by REDES SOCIALES S.A. DE C.V.
