GDI, one of the Best Mexican Companies
For the past 10 years, Deloitte, Citibanamex, and Tecnológico de Monterrey have promoted the Best Mexican Companies initiative, or MEM. MEM seeks to recognize and support medium-sized private companies in our country that stand out for their high level of performance in business management. Furthermore, Best Mexican Companies is part of the global “Best Managed Companies” program, which aims to recognize the operational excellence of private companies worldwide. Since our inception, at GDI we have been convinced that companies are one of the most important drivers of change in our society and our country. In Mexico, there are more than 5 million companies distributed throughout all the states of the Republic; of these, more than 4 million are small or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), contributing 52% of the GDP and employing nearly 30 million people. Today, we are very proud to share that for the third consecutive year, GDI Grupo Diamante Internacional has received the Best Mexican Companies distinction. As with every edition in which we have participated, MEM was a collaborative effort across all our departments and involved a thorough analysis of our entire business model. From preparing all the necessary documentation to receiving feedback from our coaches at Deloitte, Citibanamex, and Tecnológico de Monterrey, MEM helped us reaffirm our strengths, mitigate existing threats, and develop future plans to capitalize on all the opportunities available to us. This recognition keeps us excited about the challenges ahead. In the coming years, we will continue expanding our reach and improving every day to continue offering the best corporate image and security consulting services through uniforms and workwear to the most important companies in Mexico and Latin America. Finally, in a year as challenging as 2020 and given the uncertain economic and political landscape we are experiencing, this distinction reaffirms the excellent work we have done in recent years. Being recognized as one of the Best Mexican Companies of 2020 is the result of the tremendous work and outstanding effort of each of our employees, who every day contribute their part to provide a better tomorrow for their families and build a better Mexico together. To each member of the GDI family, to our people in Mexico City and Tehuacán, congratulations on this distinction! Without you, the journey we have undertaken would not have been possible.

Discover some of the socially responsible companies in Mexico
Companies that obtain the socially responsible label are having an increasing impact on the lives of Mexican society. Day by day, the role of Mexican companies is ceasing to be merely economic and they are beginning to have an impact on eradicating the most worrying social problems. This recognition is given to those companies that meet the requirements to be a Socially Responsible Company (ESR). Once companies receive the distinction, they are obliged to renew it every year. This encourages organizations to commit to continuing their social impact work. The 3 most socially responsible Mexican companies in 2020. These socially responsible Mexican companies have met a series of established standards that have made them deserving of this distinction. The work of these organizations is daily and cannot be paused since a part of social development depends on them. Below we will mention the first 3 socially responsible Mexican companies whose positive impact on Mexican society is unmatched. GRUPO BIMBO In 2020, Grupo Bimbo received the ESR distinction for the tenth consecutive year. If that weren't enough, it also won first place for being the company with the best reputation and for the socially responsible activities it carries out. COCA COLA FEMSA is one of the leading Mexican companies in our country, in bottling and marketing of beverages. In 2020, it was awarded the ESR distinction for the sixteenth time for its efforts in the area of sustainability. What distinguishes Coca Cola FEMSA is that its culture and strategy are aligned with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. Similarly, it is a company that looks after the integral development of its employees and the communities that participate in the production of its products. CINÉPOLIS Cinépolis is a Mexican cinema chain that throughout its history has distinguished itself by entertaining society while actively supporting it. This company directs its social actions through the Cinépolis Foundation. For the sixteenth time in a row, the company was recognized by CEMEFI with a special award. They earned this for being the company with the best corporate social responsibility practices. This recognition was awarded to him due to his impact in the economic, social and cultural areas. Especially in matters of inclusion, where Cinépolis pursues the goal of demonstrating that cinema is for everyone. The Cinépolis Inclusive Screenings program was the one that earned them this special distinction. With this initiative they manage to bring cinema to people with visual or hearing disabilities. They also reach people with sensory or intellectual disabilities. These are just the first three Mexican companies that list all the others, where you can also find Aeromexico, Nestle, Grupo Modelo, Walmart, among others. GDI is proud to be part of these companies; for 10 consecutive years we have continued our responsible work inside and outside the company. We have fulfilled and will continue to fulfill this distinction for many more years; it is a commitment and something we value. Just as we are proud to have the distinction, we are proud to work with companies that also have it, since we are a team for the country and its well-being. We are pleased to know that more companies are joining this list, showing greater concern for the well-being of their employees and the environment.
