“Cases regarding corruption and bribery

Over the course of financial year 2021, the Ethics Committee dealt with 16 cases related to corruption and bribery between private individuals. Of the cases closed, corrupt practices were confirmed in two instances. In one of the cases the employee was dismissed and in the other evidence of irregular practices by an external employee was obtained, leading to the adoption of the relevant remedial, mitigating and/or preventive measures within that company in order to be able to maintain the commercial relationship with said service supplier. In none of those cases relevant aspects affecting the Company were observed.”
