Sustainability Report

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR

Our market and our reality are constantly changing, which is why our transformation is ongoing and reflected at all levels and in all processes of our operation. Taking into account our leading position in the trust segment and our strong presence in the foreign exchange market during 2024, we are focusing on optimizing and digitizing processes to make our operation more efficient, but also more humane. That is why we invest in training our team, increasing the average number of training hours per employee from 15 to 24 in technical, regulatory, and educational topics that encourage their growth and that of the organization.

Our track record of more than 40 years in Mexico has been marked by compliance and, in recent years, by our leadership in the foreign exchange and trust sector. In 2024, we opened new doors in the corporate banking sector with the backing of DEG Development Bank (a subsidiary of the KfW Group) and carried out our first subordinated debt issue for USD 25 million, which will strengthen our participation in the national credit market, supported by our Social and Environmental Risk Management System (SARAS, for its acronym in Spanish), which we have structured with the aim of enabling our operations to identify and mitigate the risks and impacts that our loans have on our social and environmental environment.

In addition, aware of the importance of risk management in our day-to-day operations, in 2024 we audited and renewed the ISO 9001:2015 certification of our Quality Management System to prevent operations with resources derived from money laundering and terrorist financing, which has been in place since 2015.

The Sustainability Report reflects CIBanco’s ongoing commitment to maintaining sustainable operations and the trust and security of our customers, who are our priority. We will continue to focus on technological transformation as our main value proposition for our more than 3,000 employees, 5,000 suppliers, 70,000 customers, and all the individuals and companies that are part of our business ecosystem and contribute every day to the achievement of our objectives. To everyone, thank you for your trust and preference.

Sincerely

Lic. Jorge Rangel de Alba Brunel

Chairman of the Board of Directors

CIBanco S. A.

Corporate Ethics

Immersion in our ethical culture begins with the induction process, where new employees receive training on the Code and internal procedures, ensuring at every step the dissemination and maintenance of our organization’s values and ethical standards. This process was carried out for 677 people in 2024. In addition, we conduct annual regulatory training that includes sending the updated Code to employees, followed by a questionnaire to assess their knowledge of it. 2,948 employees completed the process and reaffirmed their knowledge and acceptance of the ethical principles in our Code. Additionally, we provide ongoing regulatory training on ethical topics related to our operations, ranging from gender equity to cybersecurity. Training hours increased by 178% compared to the previous year.

Super App and Banking Portal Development

Digital Transformation

Our transformation is continuous and is reflected at all levels and processes of our operation. We evolve to strengthen the connection with our employees, diversify our board, and promote an innovative and inclusive internal culture. For the third consecutive year, digital transformation is the transversal axis of our entire operation and translates into more and better solutions for our clients.

We have developed a new banking portal and a super App with Artificial Intelligence features. We have also created a control center for preventive monitoring of operations and incorporated innovative tools such as the Viewer for promoter and client portfolios, as well as WhatsApp Business integration. This will allow us to implement a new CRM in 2025 to optimize management and understanding of our clients' needs.

In terms of security, we apply multi-layered measures to protect our customers’ data at every stage of its lifecycle, from collection and storage to transmission and proces- sing. We use advanced encryption techniques to protect information both at rest and in transit, ensuring its confidentiality and integrity at all times. During 2024, no fines or penalties were received in relation to breaches of the privacy of our customers’ or employees’ information.

Customer Relationship Management

We build trust relationships with individuals and companies, guaranteeing quality in the service we provided through every means of contact, whether in person or online. We offer and develop our products and user experiences in accordance with applicable banking and stocks market regulations, but above all, in line with our own distinctive seal of Calidad CI.

We maintain 99% customer service satisfaction during 2024.

This is determined by an internal survey, which evaluates key aspects such as problem solving, professionalism, response time, friendly service, product knowledge, and ease of process.

Our digital transformation drives automation, without losing focus on the personalized and close service that characterizes us. Our digital transactions increased 48% compared to the previous year. And in relation to traditional and digital channels, 48% of transactions were conducted through our CINet and CIMóvil (digital transactions).

Risk Management

The Comprehensive Risk Management process is a set of objectives, guidelines, and procedures carried out to identify, measure, monitor, limit, control, report, and disclose the different types of risks to which we are exposed. We maintain rigorous mechanisms and controls to manage different types of risk, optimizing the risk-return relationship through methodologies such as Value at Risk (VaR), position monitoring, and portfolio diversification. We analyze portfolio concentration, probability of default, and borrower risk exposure, establishing operating limits and continuous monitoring.

Social and Environmental Risks

In 2024, we developed our Social and Environmental Risk Management System (SARAS) aligned with the Corporate Banking credit process. This system consists of an environmental policy, an exclusion list, a risk categorization, assessment, and reporting toolkit, aand specific clauses in agreements. By classifying environmental and social risks as high, medium, or low according to principles of proportionality and relevance aligned with the bank’s operations, we also define the requirements and processes that each loan/customer must comply with, depending on their risk level, ranging from self-declaration questionnaires to third- party verifications.

Our SARAS is compatible with the current environmental and social regulations in Mexico and can be adapted to internal workflows because we involve and train all areas related to credit granting, assigning clear responsibilities for managing these risks. Our system encourages the adoption of good environmental and social practices among our clients, in line with our sustainable philosophy.

In 2025, we will launch the SARAS pilot program in our banking operation, ensuring its proper implementation and continuous improvement. To this end, we are training 20 people in social and environmental risk management.

Anti-Money Laundering Prevention System (AML)

The Money Laundering Prevention System allows us to identify, monitor, direct, and report on customer transactions during the registration, transactional, and post-transactional processes, in order to ensure that the resources we manage do not originate from or finance criminal activities. This action involves the following in each process:

3,217 employees, with support from ABM, completed their AML certification process, achieving 9,642 training hours in this matter, 12% more than the previous year.

Cybersecurity

Our information security strategy is designed to protect digital assets, minimize cybersecurity risks, and ensure operational continuity. During 2024, controls were strengthened, in line with best practices, for all business areas, suppliers, and customer relationships, ensuring the protection of the technological infrastructure. All these areas contribute to maximizing return on investment.

During 2024, improvements were implemented in multiple security platforms, including cryptography, biometric authentication, privileged account monitoring, and ATM security. Also, cybersecurity investment increased by 21% compared to 2023. Staff training was key: 3,305 employees actively participated in trade association certification, generating 9,608 hours of training.

Green Products

We offer environmentally responsible financial solutions so that individuals and companies who trust us with their assets and investments can have a double positive impact: on their finances and on their environment. Products such as CIPanel Solar and CIAuto Verde contribute to reducing emissions and promoting responsible consumption of resources.

We define as Green Portfolio as products that contribute to reducing emissions, closing at $2,421 million, representing 16% of our Credit Portfolio, which in 2024 was $15,046 million.
