Governance
Integrity and transparency are fundamental pillars for the GME Group, and it is our priority to promote these principles in all our interactions with different interest groups and with society in general. Our code of conduct lays the foundations for our commitment
WHISTLEBLOWING FORM
When preventing and detecting unlawful behaviors, or those opposed to our ethical core values, knowledge is key, and that is why through the following formulary, all our business partners and associates have the opportunity to report any act or transaction in violation with applicable laws or GME’s soft law, of which they have or have had direct or indirect knowledge of or for which there is any indication or certainty that it bears a relation to the aforementioned violations.
All reports filed will be anonymous and there’s no possibility to identify the individual behind it. When filing the report you will be given a reference number that will allow you to check the status of your report, and in case the Ethics Committee were to ask any follow-up questions, you would be able to answer those, in order to avoid the report from being dismissed due to lack of information.
Please keep the reference number and do not share it with anybody. In case of loss of the number it will not be possible to retrieve it. This does not imply the dismissal of the report if all required information was given, just that it will not be possible for you to check its status. If you want to know the status of your report, a new one will need to be filed.
Please note that when reporting any potential cases of harassment, as it’s established in our Protocol for the Prevention of Harassment, anonymous reports are not allowed, and the individual will have to identify him/herself in the body of the report. Not complying with the aforementioned will determine the dismissal of the report.
Please do as well remember we have available a direct line to our Compliance and Ethics Committee for all our business partners and associates: compliance@gme.energy.
