    Ratificando el compromiso de Mastellone Hnos. con una gestión ética y transparente, desde 2020 hemos desarrollado e implementado un Programa de Integridad que promueve una cultura ética y transparente con el objetivo de prevenir, detectar y corregir irregularidades y actos ilícitos. Con dicho programa logramos atender: • La búsqueda de conductas éticas y transparentes por parte de quienes integran el Grupo Mastellone, permitiendo la construcción de un ambiente de trabajo basado en relaciones sólidas y de confianza, potenciando el desempeño y orgullo de pertenecer a la empresa. • El aumento de la confianza entre las comunidades en donde nos desempeñamos. • El cumplimiento necesario de las leyes vigentes en aquellos países donde la compañía desarrolla sus negocios, y las políticas y normas internas. • La sanción de la Ley N° 27.401, que refleja la política nacional de lucha contra la corrupción.

    El equipo de Auditoría Interna realizó durante 2021, los controles y tareas previstos en el Plan Anual de Trabajo y abordó temas que, no estando incluidos en el mismo, pero en virtud de su importancia, justificaban su tratamiento. Los procesos identificados como claves en el análisis de riesgos desarrollado por el Área, fueron alcanzados por relevamientos, controles puntuales o revisiones continuas. El equipo de auditores desarrolló las tareas que se les asignaron, con una metodología de trabajo documentada, cumpliendo con las normas para el ejercicio de la auditoría interna, adhiriendo a los principios fundamentales para la práctica profesional de auditoría interna, tomando en consideración las normas de procedimiento de MHSA y teniendo en cuenta lo establecido en el Manual de Auditoría Interna y el código de ética de auditoría interna, que refuerza el código de conducta de la compañía

    Implementamos la Política Anticorrupción del Grupo Mastellone, la cual representa la manifestación a la cero tolerancia a la corrupción y el empeño de actuar siempre de manera profesional e imparcial, apegados a los valores corporativos, desarrollando actividades con integridad, con el objetivo de implementar y hacer cumplir sistemas efectivos para mitigar cualquier acto de corrupción. Constituye un estándar mínimo y debe darse cumplimiento en cualquier país en que las empresas del Grupo realicen negocios. La corrupción fue incluida como factor de riesgo en las evaluaciones de carácter general realizadas por Auditoría Interna. Además, ciertos riesgos identificados en el análisis de la compañía, desarrollado por el área, están estrechamente relacionados con el control de la corrupción. Se identificaron riesgos específicamente en el análisis de riesgo de la compañía estrechamente relacionados con la corrupción. No obstante, en las auditorías realizadas desarrolladas durante el 2021 no se han observado casos de corrupción. Los controles por oposición que llevan a cabo los distintos sectores y las revisiones permanentes minimizan las posibilidades de ocurrencia. Durante el 2021, se verificó el funcionamiento de los canales de denuncias en el marco del Programa de Integridad, no encontrando observaciones al respecto. Tampoco se observaron casos de lavado de activos. Todo el personal de Auditoría Interna fue capacitado a nivel compañía en la Prevención del Lavado de Activos y Financiación del Terrorismo.
