SUSTAINABILITY ACTIVITIES

CARSO COMPREHENSIVE HEALTHCARE PROGRAM

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the Carlos Slim Foundation, has continued with its comprehensive actions – through the Carso Comprehensive Healthcare Program – to maintain its healthcare of the persons who form a part of Grupo Carso.

The Carso Comprehensive Healthcare Program is active and implements the MIDO (Medición Integrada para la Detección Oportuna) digital health strategy in 1,671 workplaces of 19 work groups of companies of the Carso Group, in order to systematically evaluate the health situation of the workers. In 2023 health checks were carried out on almost 80 thousand employees, establishing thereby that 24% of them are smokers and that 55% of them lead a sedentary life style, both of which are risk factors for the development of disease. Additionally, we now know the prevalence of obesity (29.5%), diabetes (8.8%) and high blood

pressure (17.9%), and we also now know which workers are pre-hypertensive or pre-diabetic and need simple measures to avoid the progression towards illness. With this information the companies can address their efforts towards specific actions to improve the health of their workers.

But not only that: we also identified more than 11,900 persons who had diabetes or hypertension and didn’t know it, and they were sent to receive treatment in a timely manner; we also implemented the control of diabetes and hypertension in more than 5,600 employees to avoid complications.

In the development of this work 716 employees, specifically
trained in courses, practical workshops and live sessions
participated and received adequate training in order to

become agents of change in their workplaces. Additionally, a direct communication channel with each person was established via the utilization of the intelligent Health application that promotes self-care and self-monitoring, and that provides personalized recommendations to each person, in accordance with each person’s state of health in order to promote a healthy diet, regular exercise and to avoid nicotine addiction. More than 82,000 workers are now utilizing this application.

Finally, the program has an important component consisting in the monitoring of risks, and in the promotion of actions for the prevention of disease. During the past year, multiple campaigns were launched for the prevention of risks associated with natural events such as extreme temperatures in Summer and hurricanes, such as hurricane Otis in Acapulco. In this latter case, a response was coordinated with Telmex to mi-

tigate the effect on the health and safety of the employees after the passing of the hurricane through Acapulco and its neighboring communities. Recently we have been monitoring events in Latin America that could represent a health and safety threat in Mexico, specifically, the increase in cases of measles and dengue fever.

CONSTRUCCIÓN, ELEMENTIA Y FORTALEZA

In 2023, as a result of the application of the Corporate Policy of Environmental protection, 22 work centers of the Grupo Condumex companies of the cables and automotive parts sector maintained a certification in the ISO 14001 : 2015 Standard. The Infrastructure and Pipelines sectors maintained this international standard effective to August 02 and December 17 of 2024, respectively.

The Grupo Carso companies are carrying out actions in which the technological advances that offer advantages in the use and care of natural resources are used, while allowing the realization of substantial savings in water and energy.

In Carso Infraestructura y Construcción all the construction projects have experts on environmental management at hand, ensuring the compliance with the mitigation measures established in the environmental authorizations for the projects in question.

Throughout the year, the Grupo Condumex work centers recorded a total energy consumption of 144,492,017 kWh, of which the clean energy consumption was 81,304,685 kWh, avoiding the emission of 12,545 TonCO2 and additionally with a self-supply of photo-voltaic solar energy of 2,320,469 kWh, avoiding the emission of 1,146 TonCO2e. As for the consumption of water, in the 25 work centers, a total

consumption of 416,462 m3 was recorded.

Continuing with the implementation of the Residues Management Plan, which diminishes the volume of residues sent to land fills and which limits their operating capacity, during 2023 in the sectors of Elementia/ Fortaleza, Infraestructura, Pipelines and central offices, as well as in the work centers of the cables, automotive parts, CIDEC Jurica and CT, a total of 8,285,516 kg of residues requiring special handling were collected and recycled, with various environmental benefits, since the recycling 25,010 kg of paper and 1,061,806 kg of cardboard avoided the cutting of 18,772 trees and saved the 28,259,083 liters of water that would have been needed to manufacture new paper, and avoided 3,260 m3 of residues being sent to the sanitary landfill. As for dangerous residues, in 2023, in the same work centers mentioned above, 1,948,160 kilograms of dangerous residues were sent for treatment and final disposal with an environmentally adequate management, complying with the provisions established in the General Law for the Prevention and Comprehensive Management of Residues (LGPGIR).

The “Pilotón” campaign was carried out twice in 2023 in the central offices of CICSA and in the Infrastructure and Pipelines sectors, managing to collect 41 kilograms of used alkaline batteries, which were disposed of by the company E-Weast, which has the necessary authorization from the corresponding environmental Authority.

In Elementia y Fortaleza Materiales, various laws and regulations are observed that have to do with health, the environment and safety and that regulate, among other matters, the production, sale, storage, handling, use, repair, disposal and transportation of dangerous materials; the emission and discharge of dangerous materials into the soil, atmosphere or bodies of water, as well as the health and safety of our employees. Permits from governmental authorities are required for the realization of certain operations. Additionally, certifications have been voluntarily obtained from national and international organizations for some of the production plants.
