Act 5/2010 introduced into the Criminal Code the possibility that legal persons may be convicted for the commission of certain offences.
As a result of this and given that compliance with the law is one of the core principles and values that governs its activity, ETSA has implemented a model of organisation, management and control for the prevention of crimes (hereinafter, the “Model”), which establishes the necessary rules and controls to try to avoid as far as possible the commission of criminal conduct by the directors, managers and employees of ETSA or, at least, when this is not possible, to facilitate their detection.
One of the most relevant controls established by the Model (also provided for in the Code of Conduct) is the obligation of all ETSA’s directors, managers and employees to inform the Supervisory Body of the existence of breaches of the rules and controls contained in the Model, the Code of Conduct and the Anti-Corruption Protocol. Such is the importance of this obligation that, without it, it would be highly difficult to prevent and detect crimes, as it is the people of ETSA who, as in any company, have direct knowledge of the actions carried out within the company
