It governs the behavior of our directors, trustees, members of management and employees. It emphasizes the ethics, transparency and honesty of those who work in the company. To ensure your full understanding, we conduct training in e-learning format. We also ensure that suppliers, independent contractors, consultants and clients also accept its principles.

Anti-fraud policy

It establishes the responsibilities, functions and methodology for the prevention and detection of irregularities that may arise in relation to the activities we carry out.

Ethical line

It is a channel for our employees, clients, suppliers and other interested parties to report anonymously and confidentially about potential irregularities and breaches of the Code of Conduct.

Risk management policies

We have an internal standard for the identification, evaluation and monitoring of risks at a strategic level. A strategic risk report is issued annually, which is analyzed by the Directorate, Management and the Audit Committee, in compliance with the functions that were granted to them by current legal regulations.
