Operating in strict adherence to our values and code of ethics is a basic principal for Pochteca, and we transmit this information to all employees at the time they are hired, and regularly reinforce it after that.
In keeping with this principle, and in strict accordance with the law, we allocated the resources necessary to disclose and follow the appropriate legal channels regarding a case of corruption in Quintana Roo, involving an apocryphal labor lawsuit that was used to justify the freezing of more than Ps 4 million in company bank accounts.
This case, which is still under way, exposed a network of corruption among local conciliation and arbitration boards that had operated under the previous government of that entity.
92% of the company’s senior management is native to Mexico City, where they also perform their duties.
In all the regions where we are present, our personnel’s wages are above the official minimum set by the National Minimum Wage Commission. The range of salaries depends on the type of position and each person’s qualifications. In no cases are these wages determined on the basis of gender, age, ethnic origin or social condition.
