In 2008, ASUR was certified as a socially responsible company for the first time by the Mexican Centre for Philanthropy (CEMEFI), a non-profit-making, independent, civil association, whose mission is to promote corporate social responsibility in Mexico.
This certification is the result of a detailed assessment process submitted to by the company, which is focused on four main areas:
- Quality of Life in the Workplace, including respect for the human rights of the company’s employees, such as the right to personal integrity, freedom of speech, collective bargaining, and non-discrimination.
- Business Ethics, including transparency and financial reporting standards, independent oversight of decision-making processes and the rejection of corruption in all forms.
- Environmental Protection, including the existence of formal procedures for reducing the consumption of resources, energy and materials, for handling waste and for minimizing environmental impacts.
- Support for Local Communities, including the role played by the company in stimulating regional economies and the support provided by the company for local social aid institutions.
