Integrity and transparency
We firmly believe that operating with integrity and transparency directly helps us reach our objectives and manage the business in a sustainable manner
In response to integrity- and transparency-related risks, we have developed a series of mechanisms establishing the guidelines that govern the ethical and transparent conduct of administrators and employees in their daily work, as set out in Naturgy’s Code of Ethics, Suppliers’ Code of Ethics, Compliance Policy, Criminal Compliance Model, Anti-Corruption Policy, tax-related policies and Human Rights Policy. On the basis of our ethical principles, we will reinforce the best conduct and practices in new international environments that hold growth opportunities for the company in order to contribute to social progress and development.
