Dear shareholders, collaborators and friends,
At RLH Properties, a company incorporated on February 28, 2013, in accordance with the laws of Mexico, listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange on November 5, 2015, which carries out its activity through itself, as a holding company and through its subsidiaries, we are firmly committed to the highest standards of corporate governance, integrity and transparency.
In accordance with the applicable local legislation, our bylaws and observing the principles and best practices of corporate governance worldwide, RLH Properties has defined an organizational structure focused on achieving superior corporate governance, integrity and transparency. The management of our company is in charge of the board of directors, executive committee and general manager, supported by the management committee.
Our board of directors, currently comprised of eight proprietary members and four independent members, defines the strategic direction, oversees operations and approves the management of RLH Properties. To guarantee due attention and appropriately facilitate tasks, there are two auxiliary intermediate bodies – with participation from independent directors: (i) the audit and corporate practices committee and (ii) the nominations and compensation committee
The executive committee, together with the general director, is in charge of administration, management, conduct and execution of the company’s business, in accordance with the guidelines, strategies and policies approved by the board of directors.
The function of administration and, specifically, those of management, as it relates to conduct and execution of the company’s business and of the legal entities that it controls, are the responsibility of the CEO, who is in charge of the daily operation of RLH Properties, supported by the team of directors.
In addition to the above, and given the commitment to fulfill our mission and achieve our vision in the right way, the management team, CEO and all governing bodies have implemented, and will continue to work on, evolving strategies. Furthermore, RLH Properties will continue to consolidate, grow, improve performance and achieve objectives and goals, always guaranteeing our shareholders and stakeholders a transparent and sustainable operation.
During 2020, the ethics committee and internal audit function were created, which implemented a code of conduct for employees and third parties, among other actions, to support strong company performance. The function of the compliance officer has also been reinforced and great efforts have been made in consolidating our internal control.
We are firmly committed to continuing to build a culture of excellence, integrity and transparency, as we believe social responsibility and corporate integrity are the foundation of a company destined for success.
