MSN’s work was conducted as part of a review of five Mexico corporations (Walmex, Petróleos Mexicanos, Telefónica, S.A., CEMEX, and Industrias Peñoles) coordinated by Red Puentes Mexico. Each company’s report was assessed by a different team of researchers, using a common methodology. The following is a summary of MSN’s report, which identifies strengths, gaps and weaknesses in Walmex’s 2009 SRSD Report, points to social and environmental performance issues that arise from consideration of the company’s CSR reporting, and puts forward a number of recommendations for improvements in policy, practice and reporting. The report also discusses some of the company’s underlying policies and practices that are of concern to outside stakeholders."engCreative Commons Copyright (CC 2.5)social responsibility reportingGlobal Reporting Initiative (GRI)organizational governancehuman rightslabour practicesenvironmentfair operating practicesconsumer issuescommunitydevelopmentEconomic ethicsBusiness ethicsLabour/professional ethicsTechnology ethicsTrade ethicsPreprint
