Responsible political participation: ISO 26000 advises facilitating public processes and policies to improve the quality of life of the people within its sphere of influence and is precisely one of the key points of CZFB's action, also promoting social responsibility in the value chain, influencing other organizations with which it relates to adopt socially responsible behavior. An example of this is the recent creation of the Free Trade Zone Sustainability Observatory. This initiative was created in 2023 with the aim of boosting the ESG metrics of member organizations. The "360" verification referred to in our Corporate Social Responsibility Management System certifications and AENOR's SDG strategy scheme are an accrediting reference in this regard.

RS26000 Certificate
The RS26000 Index is a quantitative assessment of sustainability based on a set of specific indicators of corporate social and environmental responsibility. It takes more than 200 variables as a reference and integrates the information declared by the organization within the framework of the ISO 26000 standard and Agenda 2030 .
The Indexes and Sustainability Reports RightSupply RS26000 generated on this platform have to undergo a process of content verification by ECOMUNDIS auditors . The organization will be able to opt for extended validations of its RS26000 Index, by official certifying bodies and within its own processes of certification of norms and standards.
Once the contents have been verified, the organization can make public or communicate its RS26000 Index to its customers and other interested parties. The RS26000 Certificate Certificate is valid for a maximum of one year from the date of its issuance and, once it has expired, the platform will keep accessible the present RS26000 Report for a maximum of three months.
Right Supply reserves the right to revoke the RS26000 certificate and to eliminate from this platform those contents declared by the organization, if it is proved that the organization has omitted relevant aspects or has provided false information.
EVALUATION OF THE RS26000 INDEX
The evaluation system RightSupply transfers the numerical value of the RS26000 Index to a letter scale from lower to higher sustainability and according to the following graph.
Organisations with A+ scores additionally meet the following[requirements].
RS 26000 ASSESSMENT BY CORE SUBJECTS
On the other hand and in a complementary way, the performance of the organization is evaluated numerically for each of the seven fundamental subjects of Corporate Social Responsibility (ISO 26000) and by means of a scale that grants 7 points or stars. In order to recognize the effort of the organizations, it is established that the four stars with the highest score are distinguished with the color gold. In this way, the organization will be able to quantify the total number of gold stars obtained in a cumulative way.

RS 26000 - CSI - COMPANY SUSTAINABILITY INDEX
Company Sustainability Index is the evaluation and scoring system chosen by organizations to objectively analyze their progress in sustainability, progressively improve it and communicate it to their clients and stakeholders.
Thanks to the information entered in the platform, the system automatically generates the RS26000 Report , facilitating the evaluation and reporting of corporate social responsibility of companies. This report can be registered as a COP (Communication On Progress) document in the United Nations Global Compact scheme.
RS 26000 - SVC - SUSTAINABLE VALUE CHAIN
Sustainable Value Chain is a Supplier Sustainability Index assessment service for the corporate supply chain. RS 26000 - SVC reports annually for your organization indicators, aggregated and per supplier, in matters as important as the circular economy, climate change and other relevant aspects of good corporate governance.

IDENTIFICATION OF STAKEHOLDERS AND THEIR NEEDS.
In the 2018 fiscal year and as part of the Corporate Social Responsibility integration project at CZFB, the representatives of Health and Safety, Environment, Commercial, People, Recruitment, Economic-Financial; defined their support and active collaboration in the implementation of an ethical and socially responsible management system. One of the first steps taken was the identification of these stakeholders under the coordination of an Ethical and CSR Management work team.
This analysis work has been recently updated with the review of the Corporate Social Responsibility management system and Agenda 2030 in collaboration with Ecomundis Communication&Sustainability. As a result, 101 groups or stakeholders that may be most affected by the activities carried out by the Consorci directly or indirectly were defined. The number of stakeholder groups assessed by typology is shown below.
EVALUATION OF RELEVANT ISSUES.
CZFB evaluates relevant or material issues relating to good governance and corporate social responsibility following an internal procedure of its Corporate Social Responsibility Management System (RS10-SDG).
Based on a previous analysis of stakholders and stakeholders, carried out in 2018, different work team meetings have been held for the analysis of the related material aspects.
From the key points of our mission, vision and values, collected since 2020 to date, we have been configuring our materiality matrix, which we make available to all interested parties for review or inclusion of new contributions.
