Since its foundation, HR Ratings has distinguished itself by focusing on generating added value and gaining the trust of institutions and investors who use our services for their decision-making processes.
In order to achieve this, we have established a number of policies and procedures that ensure the objectivity, integrity and independence of our ratings, as well as the ethical conduct of those involved in the analysis and evaluation process. These policies comply with the guidelines set forth by the National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV), the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO).
These policies are established in our Code of Conduct, which outlines the standards of conduct and professional practices for all employees, directors, stockholders and board members at HR Ratings. Through those, we aim to comply with the highest ethical standards of honesty, integrity and objectivity.
