Anti-corruption
GMD is an organization that purposefully fights corruption, obscurity, and acts that violate the spirit of our company’s Code and values.
We maintain impeccable conduct and operate under a culture of ethics before our suppliers, customers, government entities, partners, and the community, where there is no room for fraudulent or dishonest activities. |

A Public Commitment to Uphold the Law
We collaborate with the relevant authorities for the performance of their duties and act in accordance with the law in a friendly and respectful manner.
We address their requirements and observations with diligence and efficiency so they can perform within the powers granted to them by law.

Bribery Policy
All of our negotiations must be carried out in a fair and transparent manner, ensuring the prevention of corrupt practices and compliance with all applicable laws.
Our company strictly prohibits participation, orders, authorizations, promises, conspiracy, solicitations, or assistance to engage in corrupt practices, either directly or through third parties.
Gifts Policy
Our policy clearly stipulates that employees are not allowed to accept gifts with a value exceeding 2% of their base salary, special treatment, trips, commissions, or any other type of compensation designed to influence a business decision.
Employees are also prohibited from offering the possibility of obtaining undue advantages or unlawful benefits of any type in our relationships with customers, suppliers, financial institutions, concessionaires, contractors, companies, authorities, or government representatives or any person or entity with whom we do business.

Ethics and Compliance Committee
We have a committee that tracks compliance with our Code of Ethics. It also receives information and claims submitted by employees, customers, suppliers, and residents in our community or with respect to our projects.

Anonymous Reporting Line: 800-248-0048
Dialing this number immediately transfers callers to a voicemail box so they can leave an anonymous report about inappropriate or unethical conduct at our corporate headquarters or by any of our subsidiaries.

|
Email
We also provide etica@gmd.mx for users to email anonymous reports. The Ethics and Compliance Committee meets to review emails, calls, and voicemail messages to address all matters promptly.
GMD wants this to be a user-friendly reporting method, and to ensure that all employees are committed to caring for the company’s resources and their conduct within our organization.

Penalties for Breach of the GMD Code of Ethics
Code of Ethics penalties range from a warning with a copy to the employee’s file to the immediate and final dismissal of the employee from the Group’s companies.
