Why does our company need a Ethics Channel?
In addition to current laws, we have a set of standards that are listed in our Code of Ethics and Conduct:

Nevertheless, some malicious attitudes can happen, putting not only the company at risk, but also you and other colleagues.
• That's why the Ethics Channel exists! To protect everyone.
Through it, you can report, 100% anonymously, irregularities that do not comply with our values and the laws, helping us maintain a safe and healthy work environment.
