8.1 Our stakeholders

(GRI 102-40, 102-42, 102-43, 102-44)

This report is CMI Capital’s sustainability report, the Energy Business Unit reports provided the initial basis for identifying the company’s main stakeholders. In addition to the identification, classification and prioritization of the actors of the Real Estate Development and Finance Business Units we updated the list. Precisely, the stakeholders with the greatest impact were selected to perform additional studies for the corresponding analysis. To achieve this, workshops were held with CMI Capital workers both in Guatemala’s offices and through virtual meetings in other locations. Each of these workshops was attended by representatives from different company areas. Also, each workshop began with an introduction on concepts of social responsibility, philanthropy and sustainability, as well as a description of some internationally recognized sustainable development tools. Videos were included and there was interaction with the participants, using tasks that had to be completed as formats with scores, in order to obtain quantitative data. These were applied based on the power, legitimacy and urgency tool of authors Mitchell, Agle & Woods. Interviews with managers and other workers were used. For suppliers and neighbors (including communities), spontaneous interviews were conducted through local visits, also looking at programs related to the environment. The stakeholders, although with different names, coincide in each of the business units as can be seen below, with a detail of the perspective of each of the chapters in this report.
