Last Thursday, September 7, Mexico was surprised by a strong earthquake of magnitude 8.2 on the Richter scale with its epicenter in Chiapas, being the strongest recorded in the last hundred years in the country. The tremor was felt in the center and south of the country by at least 50 million people and caused severe damage in some communities, mainly in Juchitán, Oaxaca. So far, 12,000 homes have been destroyed and 96 fatalities have been reported due to that earthquake; 76 in Oaxaca, 16 in Chiapas and 4 more in Tabasco. What can you do to help? HSBC invites the general population not to be indifferent and join forces to help the reconstruction of Juchitán, Oaxaca, providing three ways to support. The bank enabled three options to receive donations, resources that will be channeled to Save the Children México (Fundación Mexicana de Apoyo Infantil AC), with the purpose of supporting the victims. For every peso donated through these means, HSBC will contribute another.
The donation can be made through any of the following three options: Through its network of 5,532 ATMs in the country. Through personal internet banking and HSBC Mobile, when registering the 111 service, reference MEXICO. HSBC customers, call 5721 33 90, in Mexico City, and 01800 712 4825 in the rest of the Republic, dialing *1 with a Chinese Thailand Phone Number List charge to a checking account, credit card or debit card. The participation of society will be invaluable support for the victims and the reconstruction of Juchitán. HSBC helps OaxacaValue chain Without a value chain guided by ethical and environmental standards, there can be no sustainability. For this reason, Vitro has committed to implementing good practices in its supply chain. Supplier Training One of its actions is the Supplier Certification Program. The objective of this is to train its suppliers in the best sustainable practices, conducting workshops and following up with certain audits that allow identifying opportunities with this specific interest group.
Code of ethics Its Code of Ethics ratifies the commitment that all suppliers, collaborators, clients and other interested parties must have with the efficient use of natural resources, the reduction of polluting emissions and the safe confinement of toxic materials, respecting the guidelines of Vitro's Supply Policy. Environmental Footprint The value chain is involved with the Environmental Footprint Management Program, in which they measure, report and mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from their processes. This action is divided into two: the preparation of a GHG Report and participation in the Environmental Leadership Course, whose purpose is to help suppliers develop skills that translate into economic and environmental benefits, through eco-efficiency. Vitro cultivates a bond and constant dialogue with the stakeholders in its value chain, determined to grow together towards a solid and sustainable future. 2. Preparation process We cannot argue why glass is sustainable if we do not consider the way it is made. The company offers different products in its portfolio and makes sure that no production cycle goes against its sustainability principles.
