ETHICAL CHANNEL

At INDUSTRIAL BREINCO, S.A. we firmly believe in the importance of fostering a safe, ethical, equal and trustworthy environment for all our employees, customers and partners in general.

For this reason, we have implemented a solid Ethical Channel. A channel where any possible non-compliance or irregularity in the organisation can be reported, as described in Law 2/2023, of 20 February, regulating the protection of persons who report breaches of regulations and the fight against corruption.

WHAT EVENTS CAN BE REPORTED?

You can report through the Ethics Channel those facts that you consider may represent a breach of legal regulations, the Code of Ethics or any internal regulations in force, such as:

  • Conduct relating to fraud and corruption.
  • Conduct relating to health, safety and hygiene at work.
  • Discrimination and harassment in the workplace.
  • Conduct relating to information security, data protection and securities markets.
  • Anti-competitive practices.
  • Conduct contrary to human rights or damage to the environment.
  • Other possible criminal or administrative offences.

KEY FEATURES:

Confidentiality: We understand that confidentiality is essential to encourage people to come forward. We guarantee absolute confidentiality throughout the process and protect the identity of the whistleblower to the extent permitted by law. This includes the possibility to report anonymously.

Impartial investigation process: Once a report is made, our team of experts will thoroughly investigate the matter objectively and diligently in accordance with internal regulations and applicable law. The rights of those involved, in particular the presumption of innocence, will be respected throughout the process.

Protection against retaliation: We do not tolerate any form of retaliation against bona fide whistleblowers. We are committed to safeguarding the rights and integrity of those who dare to report wrongdoing. We will take appropriate disciplinary action against any individual who retaliates against a whistleblower.

Resolution and follow-up: Upon completion of the investigation, we will take appropriate action to address the identified problem and, where possible, take corrective action to prevent future violations. In addition, we are committed to keeping the complainant informed of the progress and resolution of their complaint, where possible and permitted by law.
