In accordance with the provisions of Act 2/2023, of 20 February 23, governing the protection of those reporting regulatory violations and on combating corruption, all companies with more than 50 workers are obliged to have an internal information channel in place for the communication of any acts which could constitute a serious criminal or administrative violation, or otherwise a violation of EU law.

Meanwhile, the regulations establish the obligation to provide interested parties with information as to the use of the entire internal information channel, as well as its essential procedural principles.

To ensure compliance with these requirements, we provide you with access to the following:



CINTAS ADHESIVAS UBIS, S.A., declares:

WHISTLEBLOWING CHANNEL

This whistleblowing channel guarantees fulfilment of the terms of the aforementioned regulations, as established in Articles 7 and 9 of the Act.

ANONYMOUS COMMUNICATIONS AND PERSONAL DATA

Communications may be anonymous, with no mandatory requirement to identify the whistleblower, and a reply will be given via the same channel as used to receive the report. The tracking code assigned to the message when the complaint is received must be stored for this purpose.

Anonymity will be lifted only with the explicit consent of the whistleblower or where this is a necessary and proportionate obligation imposed by EU or national law within the context of an investigation conducted by the national authorities or in the framework of court proceedings, in particular to safeguard the right of defence of the person affected.

Compliance with the data protection legislation in force will thus be guaranteed throughout the process. (Spanish Data Protection Act and GDPR).

USE OF THE WHISTLEBLOWING CHANNEL

If you plan to file a complaint, you will see that this is sent to an online tool outside the domain of Cintas Adhesivas UBIS, S.A., with the message being sent to the tool operated by an external service provider so as to ensure complete objectivity and transparency in the process of handling the complaint.

The external service provider will in all cases comply with the instructions established by CINTAS ADHESIVAS UBIS, S.A., and abide by the data protection legislation in force at all times, ensuring compliance with the obligations established in Article 28 of the GDPR.

This tool may therefore be used by any employee of CINTAS ADHESIVAS UBIS, S.A., or otherwise any other third party that may learn of unethical, fraudulent or unlawful conduct committed within our organisation.

This whistleblowing channel is not the appropriate channel for matters concerning your employment conditions or disciplinary issues. In this case you will need to follow the policies established at your organisation.
