González Byass, a través de los valores, principios, políticas y procedimientos establecidos en el grupo promueve su compromiso con el cumplimiento ético y moral por parte de su plantilla, directivos y socios, así como, de los terceros con los que opera, no tolerando la observancia de conductas que pudieran ser constitutivas de actos susceptibles de ser considerados como delitos de corrupción, soborno, cohecho o tráfico de influencias. Consciente de la importancia que para el grupo supone la defensa y protección ante estas materias, aprobó durante el ejercicio 2020 su Programa de Cumplimiento Ético y Normativo, así como el conjunto de políticas internas y comités asociados. En la actualidad, este modelo de cumplimiento se encuentra en proceso de implantación en nuestras filiales extranjeras. El Grupo cuenta con un Código de Conducta, cuya finalidad es establecer las pautas que han de presidir el comportamiento y la conducta de González Byass, desde el Consejo de Administración, Comisiones, Dirección, Personal y aquellas otras personas cuya actividad quede sometida expresamente al mismo. El Grupo dispone de un Canal Ético para facilitar el cumplimiento del Código de Conducta de González Byass y como un medio de comunicación adecuado para comunicar cualquier irregularidad o inquietud relacionada con el cumplimiento del Código de Conducta y la prevención de delitos. Enmarcado en este Modelo de cumplimiento, cuya revisión es anual, se encuentran los siguientes elementos: · Mapa de Riesgos Penales: Con la identificación de los riesgos penales a los que como Grupo está expuestos. · Inventario de Controles: Asociado a los riesgos penales identificados. · Modelo de Reporting Periódico: Para el seguimiento de los asuntos relacionados con la prevención de delitos penales. Adicionalmente, a lo largo del ejercicio se han llevado a cabo acciones formativas sobre los aspectos más relevantes del cumplimiento normativo en nuestra organización, así como sesiones específicas para los miembros del Comité de Dirección y del Consejo de Administración.
