Fundamental principles of our Ethics and Compliance Channel

Employee on the phone

Right to anonymity

The Ethics and Compliance Channel admits the possibility of making anonymous communications verbally or in writing. However, we encourage whistleblowers to identify themselves, as this facilitates the processing of communications and the application of the corresponding guarantees and protections.

 

Ethics channel

Communication channel

As the only internal channel for communications under this Internal Information System, we have an Ethics and Compliance Channel managed by an independent entity. This offers whistleblowers the possibility of making communications in various ways (phone, email, or electronic form) in relation to possible breaches of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, the Crime Prevention Model, or the possible commission of a crime or infringement of applicable regulations.

 

Committee

System manager

The Ethics and Compliance Committee is the collegiate body responsible for Repsol's Internal Information System, which has delegated its management powers to the Chief Compliance Officer.

Prohibition of reprisals

Bona fide whistleblowers and persons who cooperate in an investigation will not be penalized or suffer any negative consequences or retaliation for this reason. This guarantee may be extended to persons associated with the whistleblower.

Confidentiality of the whistleblower's identity

Persons participating directly or indirectly in the processing of communications and in the corresponding investigations must maintain strict confidentiality of the information received. In no case shall any information that would allow identification be communicated to anyone outside the receipt and processing of the communication.
