Two people came to mind while listening to the president-elect announce the cancellation of the NAIM in Texcoco: Federico Patino, head of the concessionaire group of the failed project, and Sergio Hidalgo, until now general director of Aleatica, the converted OHL México that owns 49% of the Toluca International Airport, which is anticipated to “take off” with this decision. Patiño assured a day later that he will fulfill the contracts of Grupo Aeroportuario de la Ciudad de México (GACM) linked to the NAIM until the last day of the current administration. Hours later, Hidalgo wrote on Twitter: “Thanks to past experience, we know that the need to address resilience comprehensively is essential.” He wasn't referring to the cancellation of NAIM or Saint Lucia, of course, or at least not explicitly; he was talking about the future of cities. And yet, it is impossible to ignore the reference to a lesson learned from the past. Message between the lines for López Obrador? Only he knows.
The truth is that from now on both Aleatica and Finland Mobile Number List the private initiative have a lot of work to do to strengthen their efforts to link with the community, since everything seems to indicate that the next administration will put more focus on the neglected issue that has been social license. This becomes more relevant now that the possibility of current NAIM contractors obtaining new contracts to expand the Santa Lucía terminal, the current airport or the Toluca airport is being considered. In no way can this be bad news. Companies in Mexico, faced with projects of great economic, social and environmental impact, are accustomed to reporting only what the law requires and implementing their mitigation tactics based, also, on current regulations. The social perception that government contracts always benefit them, regardless of whether this is the case or not, was decisive in this decision, making it clear that society demands more than ever transparent and ethical processes from the government and companies. The area of opportunity is enormous.
Aleatica, who with her OHL Mexico skin was accused of corruption by López Obrador, is already thinking about how to strengthen her operating processes, ethics and transparency, facing her new client who will be precisely the one who criticized her so much in the past . Not in vain has it just announced an agreement with Mexican Transparency to strengthen its ethical and anti-corruption guidelines. The rest of those interested in doing business with the incoming government must, in the same way, assume that we are faced with the call to modify the way in which business has been conducted until now, which requires companies to participate more actively and better indicators of social and environmental impact and transparency. It will undoubtedly be very interesting to observe how López Obrador conducts himself on this issue, how Aleatica responds in strengthening its corporate governance and how negotiations between the private initiative and the next government are strengthened.
