Ethics Channel

In GEOPLANNING. ESTUDIS GEOTÈCNICS, S.L. we firmly believe in the importance of fostering a safe, ethical, equal and trustworthy environment for all our employees, clients and partners in general.

For this reason, we have implemented a robust Ethics Channel. A channel through which any possible breach or irregularity within the organization can be reported, as described in Law 2/2023, of 20 February, regulating the protection of persons who report regulatory breaches and combating corruption.

 

WHAT FACTS CAN BE REPORTED?

You may report through the Ethics Channel any facts that you believe may constitute a breach of legal regulations, the Code of Ethics or any other internal rules currently in force, such as:

  • Conduct related to fraud and corruption.
  • Conduct related to occupational safety, health and hygiene.
  • Discrimination and harassment in the workplace.
  • Conduct related to information security, data protection and securities markets.
  • Anti-competitive practices.
  • Conduct contrary to human rights or damage to the environment.
  • Other possible criminal or administrative offences.

 

MAIN FEATURES: 

Confidentiality: We understand that confidentiality is essential to encourage people to submit reports. We guarantee absolute confidentiality throughout the entire process and protect the identity of the reporting person to the extent permitted by law. This includes the possibility of submitting a report anonymously.

Impartial investigation process: Once a report has been submitted, our team of experts will thoroughly investigate the matter in an objective and diligent manner, in accordance with internal regulations and applicable legislation. Throughout the process, the rights of all parties involved will be respected, in particular the presumption of innocence. 

Protection against retaliation: We do not tolerate any form of retaliation against good-faith reporting persons. We are committed to safeguarding the rights and integrity of those who dare to report any irregularity. We will take appropriate disciplinary measures against any individual who retaliates against a reporting person.

Resolution and follow-up: Once the investigation has been concluded, we will take the necessary actions to address the identified issue and, where possible, adopt corrective measures to prevent future violations. In addition, we undertake to keep the reporting person informed about the progress and outcome of their report, whenever possible and permitted by law.
