Fibra Danhos develops, acquires, and manages iconic and premier retail and office properties in the metropolitan area of Mexico City and Puebla. Conscious of the impact that our properties generate, we give back to our stakeholders and communities by being an example in environmental, social and corporate governance matters.
Our first sustainability report presents a strategy that includes, among other important actions, our first materiality study which will allow us to manage economic risks with social, environmental and corporate governance impacts. In this way we protect our comprehensive business model, our brand value, and the interests of Fibra Danhos.
We are thankful to our team of employees, board members and shareholders for their support and participation in all our sustainable development activities.

In order to gain a thorough understanding of the needs and expectations of our stakeholders and the real estate sector, in 2018 we undertook a materiality study with the support of a team of experts in environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters. Our materiality study allows us to develop a report that demonstrates in greater detail information on major issues of interest to our stakeholders, and include the issues significant to our organization. Moreover, this study allowed us to identify trends, risks and opportunities.
We assess the risks represented by important players in the real estate sector such as socially responsible investors, social impacts, ONGs and institutions through an analysis of the indicators like the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). In addition, we review the public information of key companies in the real estate sector in order to identify their maturity level and determine the importance the sector needs to place on matters required by the regulating authority.
Our materiality assessment is integrated into our short, medium, and long-term strategies both, inside and outside the organization. This undertaking entailed a full understanding of the economic, social and environmental impacts inherent to our operations and our value chain.
The results obtained are shown in the following matrix. The necessary aspects quadrant shows the material issues for Fibra Danhos, the sector and the prescribers. In addition, we were able to identify the areas of opportunity which will be monitored in the medium term; these appear in the urgent issue’s quadrant.
