We have an Ethics area that reports directly to the Executive Vice President of General Counsel and Institutional Affairs for Mexico and Central America. This area is charged with the responsibility of disseminating and promoting a culture of ethical behavior and strict adherence to all legal regulations in the matter, which we consider one of the most important principles. In addition is the responsibility of handling all inquiries and ethics-related cases. The Audit Committee receives periodic reports from this area.
