Ethics channel

At TECNIUM – CASALS CARDONA INDUSTRIAL, S.A. we firmly believe in the importance of fostering a safe, ethical, equal and trusting environment for all our employees, clients, partners and society in general. For this reason, we have implemented an Ethics Channel that allows anyone to report possible misconduct or ethical violations that they have detected in our organisation, as set out in Spanish Law 2/2023 of 20 February regulating the protection of people who report regulatory breaches and anti-corruption.

Which facts can be reported?

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

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

Main features of the channel

Confidentiality

We understand that confidentiality is critical to encouraging people to report. We guarantee absolute confidentiality throughout the process and protect the identity of the reporting person to the extent permitted by law. It includes the possibility of making the report anonymously.

Impartial investigation process

Once a report is filed, our team of experts will thoroughly investigate the matter objectively and diligently, in accordance with internal regulations and applicable law. Throughout the entire process, the rights of those involved will be respected, in particular the presumption of innocence.

Protection against retaliation

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

Resolution and follow-up

Once the investigation is concluded, we will take the necessary actions to address the problem identified and, where possible, take corrective measures to prevent future violations of our code of ethics. In addition, we are committed to keeping the reporting person informed of the progress and resolution of their report whenever possible and permitted by law.
