Ethics and Corporate Governance

Ethics and Corporate Governance

Ethics & Corporate Governance System

Individual behavior and the coherence of our actions with respect to the Corporate Principles are decisive in achieving the common purpose that we have as an organization: to create well-being and sustainable development for people, organizations and society.

The development of a Corporate Governance scheme, based on ethics, allows us to have:

  • Action framework.
  • Improved organizational performance.
  • Assign responsibilities to management bodies.
  • Recognizes relationships with stakeholders.
  • Better use of resources, greater administrative and accounting transparency.
  • Balance between interests that can be opposed.

Within the framework of our management, in addition to the Code of Good Governance, we have:

  • Code of conduct:​ it is a guide for decision making, guides the expected behavior of our work teams, that is, employees, advisors, administrators and members of boards of directors, in their relationship with the different interest groups, and contributes to the identification of situations that affect business ethics and the society of which they are a part.
  • Ethics Committee: body responsible for developing strategies to strengthen the standards of ethical conduct within the organization. Likewise, it acts as the highest authority for the resolution of conflicts and situations that affect the corporate principles of the companies. It is made up of an uneven number of members of Senior Management according to the provisions of the internal regulations of each Committee.
  • Ethics hotline: means that the public can use to report any situation that is considered to go against our corporate ethics and principles, which must be upheld by all the Organization’s employees.
