It's the highest governing body at Grupo Herdez®, responsible for overseeing ethical compliance, defining business strategy, and promoting transparency. It is supported by two main committees.
Oversees internal control, accounting policies, financial statements, and risk management.
Provides input on appointments, compensation of key executives, and related-party transactions.
They coordinate strategic matters such as finance, marketing, innovation, supply chain, IT, sustainability, and human resources.
We have secure mechanisms in place to report ethical violations and implement policies and procedures to prevent acts of corruption. In 2024, ten corruption-related reports were identified, leading to disciplinary actions including dismissals and contract terminations.
To ensure compliance with our policies, we have established control mechanisms at all levels: ongoing training, contracts and agreements, internal oversight, and reporting channels.
In 2024, we recorded an increase in training hours across all locations, with corporate offices and sales routes standing out with more than 100% growth in training hours. Plants led the effort with nearly 15,000 hours, averaging 2.2 hours per employee.
#WhatWeHaveWithin
guides us in every decision and enables us to build a culture based on trust, responsibility, and respect.
At Grupo Herdez®, we strengthen our culture of ethics and integrity through an anonymous and secure reporting channel. Each case is investigated using documentation, interviews, and internal audits. When irregularities are confirmed, disciplinary sanctions are applied or business relationships are terminated.
