Good Governance and Compliance
Our good governance and compliance system
The Capital Energy Group has a Compliance Model which applies to all its subsidiaries. The Compliance Model was approved by its Governing Body in September 2019.
The Compliance Model is based on a commitment to national and international best practices in good corporate governance, compliance, business ethics and corporate social responsibility in all areas of activity.
At Capital Energy we strive to build a model that reflects the principles of the organisation and helps create relationships of trust with our stakeholders.
It is based on the principles of ethics, behaviour and transparency set out in the General Compliance Policy, the Code of Ethics and Conduct, the Anti-Corruption Policy, as well as the organisation’s other rules and procedures.
Its purpose is to guarantee our commitment to compliance with the legislation and ethical principles established by our Governing Body in our relations with our stakeholders and in the activities carried out by the organisation, thus ensuring the long-term sustainability of our business model.
Corporate Rules and Policies
- General Compliance Policy. Expresses the commitment of the organisation and its subsidiaries to an ethical business culture and to the active management of regulatory compliance in general and the prevention of corporate crime in particular.
- Code of Ethics and Conduct. Defines the culture, values and principles of action that should guide the behaviour of all members of the organisation.
- Code of Conduct for Suppliers and Partners. In order to extend Capital Energy's commitment to our entire value chain, we have drawn up the Code of Conduct for Suppliers and Partners.
- Anti-Corruption Policy. To reinforce our commitment to legal compliance and anti-corruption, Capital Energy has approved the Anti-Corruption Policy, which is mandatory for all members of the organisation and also governs our relationships with third parties in all areas of our business.
Compliance Committee
Capital Energy has a Compliance Committee, an independent body that has sufficient authority and responsibility to supervise the proper implementation of the Compliance Model.
Whistleblower Channel
The Capital Energy Group has set up a specific Whistleblower Channel available to all the members of the organisation, as well as its suppliers and partners. This channel guarantees the confidentiality of the complainant.
