Its policy of SIMCO to respect, follow and be guided in our behaviors, processes and in the basics of our culture by the 30 principles of the universal declaration of human rights.
In SIMCO every person is hired, work, pay, and is promoted by their effort, real abilities, knowledge and willingness, it doesn’t matter gender, age, religion, preferences, or disabilities.
We focus in generate forums or opportunities to persons with disabilities, elders or any vulnerable group, focusing in not to discriminate persons or groups without this characteristics.
In SIMCO we treat women and men equally, although exist activities that usually are performed by some gender, if someone want to try it we challenge the system and the process,
We appreciate and value the integrity, health and safety of all the coworkers above everything else.
SIMCO categorically rejects all people traffic and child work force.

We enforce our people resources area to look for people with disabilities or elders so they can participate for any position available in the company. In every opening must be at least one person who challenge the traditional employee for that activity.
We work with the “Servicio Nacional de Empleo” in every state of the Mexican Republic in which we have operations, in order to find new ways to link with vulnerable groups, and open opportunities to work, interact and break throw with them..
All the people that works for SIMCO have all the benefits given by law, such as health services (IMSS), house services (INFFONAVIT), and taxes payments.
Every opening or new job is open to all the members or coworkers of SIMCO, so if they want to participate, they must and can do it.
In the last Warehousing leader opening position, one of the women that works on the production line wanted to tried this new job and we gave she the opportunity, since then until now, she is the former leader for the Mexicali’s warehouse, and over the months she have grown in that position, now a days she improve twice she’s salary, and have one more coworker under she’s leadership.
In order to generate the best place to work for our employees, we invest in one little area or garden outside the main facilities so they can gather and enjoy each other, this space is meant to be the area for group integrations, work party’s or any other special event. This has been a challenge in Mexicali;s facilities because the temperatures are extreme, this city is on the desert, so the temperatures can get from -5 Celsius degrees to 56 Celsius degrees, this use to be a challenge, but we manage to set artificial grass, some natural plants and a shadow net.
We are a very “open minded” company, we are not afraid of telling the true, ore talking about personal topics (just if each person it’s comfortable with it, and each person decides how many opening want to have).
We make forums to talk about diversity and inclusion, and also organize events such as goalball (the only Olympic sport for blind people) this activities have the objective of integrate blind people to society and to take conscious about blind people.

33% of all the employees of SIMCO belongs to a vulnerable group.
50% of the leader positions are fulfilled by women and 33% of the front line positions.
16.7% of the employees belongs to the gay community.
We sponsored one talk to 35 people about the difficult world in which the blind people live with the participation of real testimonies: we also made a GoalBall tournament.

We believe in the responsible, objective and hard work, thus, we don’t measure work in hours we measure it in objectives and productivity, in all the levels and throw all the areas of the organization. Taking care of not trespassing more than 48 hrs per week (according to the Mexican work law)
By any mean we hire under 18 year’s old people. We are very responsible about the abolition of child labour.
Although we don’t hire illegal migrant people, we can have or support events that focus on helping this community.
We strongly believe in making a family-employee company, in other words, each employee must feel that he or she is a essential part of the company and also that they can and will make a difference, because each employee of SIMCO is a stakeholder.

Thinking in the idea of good hard work and not in the work by hours, the persons who works for SIMCO knows what are the production goals and work for them, if we achieve the production everybody can go home earlier, so the earlier we finish the earlier they can go home. To make this happen and make a sustain process, we set the starting productivity with a starting amount of employees, front line, coaches and board members agree in this numbers and start running the new process, since then, and any improvement in the productivity directly reflects in less working time. As an example, now a days if there’s little work for tomorrow at the end of the day, the front line decides to work extra hours on day one so they don’t go to work on day two.
All the administrative employees have the benefit of work out side the SIMCO Facilities, if they achieve their objectives, SIMCO don’t care if they work in their homes, at a coffee shop, at the office, or wherever they want, non the less, all administrative employees have their own desk and amenities inside SIMCO facilities. As well, they can manage their times to work in the part of the day they better suit them and meet the needs of the company and customers.
Mexicali is a border city between México and USA, thus exist a huge amount of people trying to cross the border illegally, and in this city SIMCO have a production plant, it’s very tempting to hire temporal personal at a low cost and without give them all the law obligations, but we are very clear and committed to don’t fall in this tramp, the board members of the company continuously review that all the people in all the operations have all their documents by the law and that all the workers have all the benefits that the Mexican government enforce to give.
We empower all the employees to know and participate in the decisions of the company, for example, the leaders of every area have access to the P&L of the Business Unit, they feedback the board members about possible changes, and knowing that thay have its own budget and they spend it as they need and decide. Other example the front line leaders will decide how spend the end of the year party in each business unit, they now how many money they have, and decide how much spend in food, beverages, and in presents.

In Mexicali operation plant use to work 5 days per week and make 2,600 boxes of finish product, today we work 2-3 days, the rest of the days, the employees are at home or were ever they decide with the only condition that if we need them and call them, they have to go to the factory, the days that we don’t operate or have production, only 2 coworkers go to the facilities to have a Watch in case something happen or arrives a special need from our customers, or any other need.
100% of the administrative employees have flex time and flex place to work.
Today one of our very best employees use to be a illegal worker in the US, we meet him one week in which he came back to México and was trying to cross the border again, and that lucky day one of the Managers was hanging an advertisement on one hedge near the Mexicali’s facilities and start talking to this guy, he offer him a job and 3 days later became part of our crew.

SIMCO strongly believe in left the world better as it was.
We encourage to use and buy ecofriendly products.
We act against the waste of any kind of resource.

We use saving energy lights in all our facilities and allocate sun energy light in Mexicali’s plant facility garden.
The Toilets have water saving systems.

No results to show.

SIMCO is against all forms of corruption, including extortion and bribery.

We believe in the fair game so, we don’t participate in any kind of corruption activity, and we condemn them.

We haven’t had any report of corrupt activities
