Grupo Elektra announces it has been selected to be part of the S&P/BMV Total Mexico ESG Index 2021

Mexico City, June 22, 2021—Grupo Elektra, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: ELEKTRA*; Latibex: XEKT), Latin America’s leading specialty retailer and financial services company, and the largest non-bank provider of cash advance services in the United States, announced today that it has been selected to be part of the S&P/BMV Total Mexico ESG Index 2021.

This index is composed of 29 companies that are listed on the capital market of Bolsa Mexicana de Valores — which comply with environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) indicators — and offers the market an investment alternative with a focus on sustainability.

Grupo Elektra believes that the company's positive indicators derive from its commitment to Inclusive Prosperity, which promotes the generation of economic, social and environmental value, which contributes to the progress of the communities in which it operates in Mexico, the United States and Central America.

The company generates economic value by innovating in the markets and offering world-class products that boost the quality of life of millions of families, and by providing accessible financial services, which promote financial inclusion in the communities where it operates.

It generates social value — with solid advances in the well-being of its close to 70,000 employees, as well as with initiatives that create favorable conditions to enhance the capacities of the society to improve — and environmental value — through mitigating the impact of its operations on the planet. The company's renewable energy consumption currently represents 35% of the total, and it is gradually seeking to increase this proportion.

Grupo Elektra has the firm intention to further promote the generation of Inclusive Prosperity into the future, which will translate into increasing well-being and progress for millions of families in the communities in which it operates.
