In a global context that increasingly demands environmental, social, and governance (ESG) commitment, at FINSA—as one of Mexico's leading industrial real estate developers—we present our Third Sustainability Report, where we consolidate our strategy with measurable actions aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

“2024 has been a year in which we reaffirmed our commitment to driving a strategic evolution that strengthens FINSA and our initiatives toward a more sustainable future. We have accelerated our alignment with sustainability principles and are actively working to contribute to the fight against climate change,” said Sergio Argüelles González, President and CEO of FINSA.

Development of sustainable industrial spaces

We know that sustainable development begins with the way we design and operate our spaces. That's why, during 2024, we're aligning ourselves with SDGs 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and 13 (Climate Action), consolidating our commitment to responsible buildings.

We achieved five new LEED-certified buildings: Level 1 Gold, 2 Silver, and 2 Certified. We also achieved more than 131,547 m² of certified buildings by 2024.

This progress maintains our position as one of the main drivers of sustainable industrial spaces in the country.

Energy management: efficiency and transition to clean energy

Energy is one of the core pillars of our environmental strategy. In 2024, we took firm steps toward a more efficient and less carbon-intensive operation.

• We achieved a 28.8% reduction in diesel consumption.

• We reduced the generation of hazardous waste by 19%.

• We incorporate renewable energy into 5% of our operations, with solar panels and self-generation initiatives.

• We consolidated the measurement of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in scopes 1, 2, and 3. This includes emissions from goods, as well as those associated with purchased services, operational waste, business travel, employee transfers, and leased assets.

• We received the Bronze Medal from Ecovadis in recognition of our ESG practices.
  
  

“At FINSA, we embrace energy efficiency and the transition to clean energy as strategic pillars of our industrial development model. In 2024, we took firm steps by reducing our diesel consumption, incorporating renewable energy into our operations, and integrating GHG emissions measurement across all our scopes. These indicators reflect our real and measurable commitment to decarbonization and Mexico's sustainable future,” added Argüelles.

Water management: efficiency and conservation

Water is one of the most critical resources in the current context, and at FINSA we consider it a priority. This year, aligned with SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), we are moving forward with a clear strategy for its treatment, recovery, and responsible use.

• We began construction of a Treated Water Recovery Plant in the FINSA Santa Catarina I Industrial Park, with the goal of obtaining potable water, complying with the NOM-127-SSA1-2021 standard.

• 42% of the water used annually in our operations was treated, representing more than 53,000 cubic meters.

• We continue to promote a culture of responsible water use, both among employees and tenants, through awareness and efficiency campaigns.

These actions support the corporate goal of reducing water consumption by 20% by 2030. Additionally, FINSA promotes a culture of responsible water use among employees and tenants, with active awareness and efficiency campaigns.

"Water is one of the most critical resources in the current context of climate change. At FINSA, we are taking on this challenge by promoting projects such as the Santa Catarina I Recovery Plant and implementing mechanisms for rainwater harvesting," said Argüelles González, CEO of FINSA.

Social impact: education, gender and volunteering

We believe that industrial development has a deeper purpose: improving living conditions. Therefore, during 2024 we are also consolidating actions with social impact, in partnership with various organizations and communities.

Education

• Through the FINSA Foundation, we awarded 520 educational scholarships.

• More than 13 strategic alliances, including those with the BBVA Foundation and Drawing a Tomorrow.

• 108 university scholarships were awarded through alliances
  
  

Corporate volunteering

• We participate in 20 social and environmental support programs.

• We have contributed more than 2,100 hours of corporate volunteering.

• More than 9,000 people were directly benefited.
  
  

Gender equality

• We increased the participation of women in executive positions by 32%, reinforcing our commitment to equity and inclusion in the workplace.
  
  

“At FINSA, we understand that generating value goes beyond industrial development: it involves transforming realities through education, equity, and social commitment. In 2024, we strengthened our strategic alliances to expand access to educational scholarships, reinforced our participation in corporate volunteer programs, and advanced female representation in executive positions. This reflects our commitment to a tangible social impact aligned with major global challenges.” Sergio Argüelles, President and CEO of FINSA.
