Ethics Channel

The activity of SOMAFEL and of its employees is guided by the assumption of actions which give priority to the prevention and prohibition of non-conformity practices, such as bribery, corruption or the violation of principles of corporate ethics and thus abide by the anti-corruption laws and regulations applicable in the countries where it operates.

On 20/11/2023, by decision of the Board of Directors , SOMAFEL adopted the Whistleblowing Policy of Teixeira Duarte, S.A., which is available for consultation here.

For that purpose, within Teixeira Duarte Group it is implemented a procedure that establishes how to communicate, control and treat the infringements which are reported, as a measure to prevent and to fight unlawful practices; if the whistle-blowers so desire, the system ensures their total anonymity. The reporting of infringement of applicable external and internal rules may be received through the Whistleblowing Channel of the Teixeira Duarte Group and also through the following channels:

The Ethics Channel may be used by all employees, clients, suppliers or any other interested parties of the companies of the Teixeira Duarte Group. If aware of the practice of an act you consider it does not abide by the legal regulations of the internal rules do not hesitate to report it. Teixeira Duarte ensures the anonymity of the communications received, if the whistle-blowers so desire, the absence of reprisals towards good faith whistle-blowers and the protection of the personal data of the whistle-blower and of the person suspected of committing an infraction.
