Terms and conditions of use of the Ethics Channel

How to send a message through the Ethics Channel?

Our Ethics Channel makes it possible to receive reports by the following means:

The report must contain as many factual elements as possible on which reasonable grounds for suspecting a breach are based. Specifically, it must include:

  • A detailed description of the facts which allegedly comprise the irregularity;
  • The identity of the individuals and/or entities allegedly involved in the potentially illicit conduct;
  • Any type of additional evidence (documents, photographs, etc.) that may be of use in a potential investigation.

Who receives the information?

Any messages sent through the Ethics Channel are, solely and exclusively, received by the Company’s Ethical Management Committee.

All the members of the Ethical Management Committee have signed specific confidentiality clauses with the purpose of offering absolute guarantees in this respect.

Protection of reporting parties

1. Protection of identity:

The information sent through the Ethics Channel will be solely and exclusively handled by Prodiel’s Ethical Management Committee. We guarantee that your identity and that of the possible offender will be treated with the utmost confidentiality.

You can also send your report anonymously. If you wish to remain anonymous, do not include any contact information (name, email address, telephone number).

Prodiel will comply in any case with the rules and regulations in force on personal data protection.

2. Absence of retaliation:

Reporting a possible breach will by no means constitute an infringement in the sphere of employment and therefore cannot not result in any form of retaliatory action provided that the report was made in good faith.

However, any reports made maliciously will be deemed serious infractions in accordance with the Company’s disciplinary system.
