Mexican Transparency and Mexicans Against Corruption and Impunity (MCCI) announced the third edition of the Corporate Integrity 500 (IC500) ranking , with information on anti-corruption from the 500 largest corporations in Mexico.
This 2019, this recognition raised some suspicions because it included the company Aleatica (formerly OHL México) as one of those that achieved the highest score in information on combating corruption.
This corporation was designated as one of the favorite companies of Enrique Peña Nieto's six-year term and its concessions of the Bicentenario Viaduct and the Mexiquense Exterior Circuit were under controversy, after telephone conversations of its directors were leaked in 2015, in which alleged acts were mentioned. of corruption.
Currently, Vanessa Silveyra is the Global Director of Sustainability and User Service at Aleatica, although she was previously involved with Transparency Mexicana in the position of coordinator of the Integrity Program in the Private Sector and was even involved in the launch of this list in 2017. , published in Expansión magazine .
The above generated conflicting opinions and criticism Chile Mobile Number List on social networks, due to a possible conflict of interest due to the confluence of the management positions held by the teacher in Public Administration and Public Policies from the Tecnológico de Monterrey (ITESM).
When consulting the company Aleatica on the subject, the response was that at this time no opinion on this situation will be disclosed.
For its part, Transparencia Mexicana pointed out that “there is no possible relationship or conflict of interest with Aleatica. Since 2017, Transparencia Mexicana has no employment or collaboration relationship with Vanessa Silveyra. Likewise, there is and has been no contact between Transparencia Mexicana and any Aleatica official, or any company, within the framework of the review carried out for the IC500.”
When asked about what actions Aleatica carried out to be considered the leader of this list, the Transparency spokesperson responded that: “the IC500 does not identify any company as a leader in the results table. In 2019, 10 companies recorded a result of 98 points out of a possible 100.
Mexican Transparency emphasizes that places are not assigned to companies but only report on the results obtained from the review they carry out of the public information available on the companies' websites.
IC500 results should not be interpreted as leadership in corporate integrity. The review is carried out on the existence and content of corporate integrity policies, which is the minimum required by article 25 of the General Law of Administrative Responsibilities, the organization reported.
In the list, Aleatica, Holcim México and eight other companies from different sectors of the economy occupy first place in the ranking, after all tied with a rating of 98 points out of a possible 100.
This research indicates that only 34% of the 500 most important companies in Mexico implement an anti-corruption training program, although that percentage is growing, according to an indicator of transparency policies.
“In 2019, an increase of 16% (to 34%) was recorded compared to companies that had an anti-corruption program in 2018,” indicates the IC 500 report.
According to this document, the most frequent rating was 5.88 out of 100 (78 companies, 16% of the total), which reflects an almost total absence of commitment to the publication of integrity actions of a significant group of companies evaluated.
This list showed that only 34% of the 500 companies implement any anti-corruption training program. According to MCCI, two-thirds of employees are unaware if the company they work for has agreed to bribes.
On average, companies in Mexico are among the lowest rated, with 48.9, which represents a particular challenge regarding open data.
