Why does our company need an Ethics Channel?
In addition to current laws, we have a set of standards that are listed in our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct:
• A guide that determines the behaviors that must be followed by our employees, suppliers, and business partners.
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.
