Ethical channel

At SYSTEMS MAINTENANCE SERVICES EUROPA S.A. we strongly 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 robust Ethical Channel. A channel where any possible non-compliance or irregularity in the organization can be communicated, as described in the Law 2/2023, of February 20, 23, regulating the protection of persons who report regulatory violations and the fight against corruption.

WHAT FACTS CAN BE NOTIFIED?
You can report through the Ethics Channel those facts that you consider may represent 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 securities markets.
  • Anticompetitive practices.
  • Conduct contrary to human rights or damage to the environment.
  • Other possible criminal or administrative violations.

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS:

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. The possibility of alerting anonymously is included.

Impartial investigation process: Once a complaint 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, particularly the presumption of innocence.

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 any irregularity. 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 the necessary actions to address the identified problem and, where possible, take corrective action to prevent future violations. In addition, we undertake to keep the complainant informed of the progress and resolution of his or her complaint, whenever possible and permitted by law.
