Crime Prevention Policy

EGEVASA, under the commitment acquired by its Board of Directors, contained in this Crime Prevention Policy, assumes responsibility for the active management of corporate crime and fraud prevention.

This Policy is applicable to all employees, officers and directors of EGEVASA and its subsidiaries in the integrated water cycle area.

The principles inspiring this Policy are those of legality, due diligence and risk management. EGEVASA will set up models for identification and control of legal requirements, including crimes to be prevented that may give rise to criminal liability of the legal person.

The Ethic Committee set up by the Board is the Supervisory Body of EGEVASA, with independent powers of initiative and control, responsible for supervising the implementation and observance of these models. The organization also has a Compliance Officer under the commission to maintain and promote crime prevention within the organization.

Any conduct that may give rise to criminal liability is absolutely prohibited and any infringement will be penalized in accordance with the disciplinary system applicable in each case. EGEVASA will identify activities where crimes may be perpetrated that could give rise to criminal liability of the corporate person, will control risk exposure by implementing preventive measures and controls, will afford employees and executives with training and will put in place procedures for consultation and internal complaint with confidentiality and non-reprisal safeguards.
