#### 2.3 Policy Persuasion & Engagement

**2.3.1 Exchanges should actively engage with local and global policy makers and standard**
**setters to stay informed of and promote net zero aligned policies.**

We actively collaborate with local institutions and regulators, engaging in regular dialogues on
sustainable finance and emerging financial regulations related to climate and sustainability.

With the creation of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and the introduction of IFRS
S1 and S2 Standards, we have been a bridge between issuers and the CNBV (National Banking and
Securities Commission) to ensure optimal adoption. We participate in working groups and offer
workshops and conferences with experts to help companies understand the implications of these new
standards.

Additionally, in collaboration with the Mexican Council of Financial and Sustainability Reporting
Standards, we also promote the NIS A-1 and B-1 standards. Starting in January 2025, companies
following Mexican financial standards will include 30 qualitative and quantitative indicators in their
financial statements, with over half of them focused on environmental issues. This marks a milestone in
Mexico by enhancing certainty and traceability, paving the way for increased investment and financing
opportunities.

We also participate in the promotion of responsible financial practices related with ESG matters with the
Mexican Sustainable Finance Council.

Furthermore, we collaborate with international organizations, such as the World Wildlife Fund (WWF)
and the British Embassy in Mexico City, on projects and events focused on climate change mitigation
and the advancement of sustainability.

At BMV, we remain up-to-date with government ESG regulations and actively support listed companies
by providing relevant information that may impact their operations. We facilitate open dialogues between
regulators, global and local policymakers, and issuers to foster transparency and alignment on ESG
matters.

An example of this is our active role in providing our facilities and inviting listed companies to a workshop
organized by the Ministry of Finance to introduce the new Mexican sustainable taxonomy. During its
development, we also facilitated dialogue sessions with participants to provide feedback and strengthen
the taxonomy prior to release it.
