Aldesa, through its Mexican concessionaire CAS, has been recognized as a Socially Responsible Company (ESR) by the Mexican Center for Philanthropy (CEMEFI), within the framework of the 17th Latin American ESR Meeting, whose central theme was “The impact of the ESR distinction on business models.”
This year marks the first time that CEMEFI has awarded the ESR distinction to more than 1,000 large companies from 30 states across Mexico under the New Measurement Model, based on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria, in addition to assessing the maturity of social responsibility management.
CAS stands out as one of the 104 companies receiving the distinction for the first time and as one of only five companies in the state of Chiapas. It achieved a score of 2.82, exceeding the average in all four evaluated areas (environmental, social, governance, and global context), both at the subsector level (Road Transport–Related Services) and at the industry level.
Receiving the ESR distinction not only enhances CAS’s public image, but also builds reliability and trust among stakeholders, representing a significant advantage for attracting investment capital from investment funds.
Aldesa is the reference shareholder of CAS, a concessionaire in which Ainda, Energía & Infraestructura, also holds a stake. CAS is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Tuxtla Gutiérrez–San Cristóbal de las Casas (46.5 km) and Arriaga–Ocozocoautla (93 km) toll highways in the state of Chiapas, Mexico. These are two of the main transport corridors in Chiapas, handling approximately 12 million toll transactions per year. Grupo Aldesa’s concession portfolio in Latin America also includes other road infrastructure projects, such as the 195-kilometer Ruta 5 Talca–Chillán highway in Chile.
