Sener Group’s Compliance System is founded on the commitment to ethical conduct, integrity and excellence in compliance with the law, an essential part of our corporate culture and good corporate governance. The objective is to ensure that business practices comply with current legislation and ethical principles, and to prevent any irregular conduct or activity by SENER staff in the exercise of their professional activity.
The Code of Conduct includes the values, standards and principles that guide our ethical behavior in the development of our activity and our social commitment.
At Sener, we understand that sustainability is not just a responsibility, but also an opportunity for society to grow. Which is why we are committed to promoting sustainable practices throughout our supply chain, which means working with our suppliers to ensure that they share our values and principles in terms of social and environmental responsibility. It is against this backdrop that we have prepared this Sener Supplier Code of Conduct, which summarises the expected behaviours and mandatory standards for this group of stakeholders.
For over 60 years, Sener has developed a corporate culture based on solid corporate values. The Compliance Policy document contains the keys to the configuration, organization and main components of the Group’s Compliance System.
It is a system designed to manage compliance with external legislation and the company’s internal standards alike. These standards are integrated into all the Group’s business and support processes.
At Sener, we are committed to preventing corruption.
Each and every one of us at Sener must show exemplary ethical behavior, and this is reflected in the Sener Group’s Anti-Corruption Policy, which sets out our principle of zero tolerance when it comes to any form of corruption.
There is no place for offering, giving or accepting benefits that may be understood as bribes. Mandatory guidelines for directors, managers, executives, professionals and collaborators of the Group, in all subsidiaries and international subsidiaries.
Commitment to good practices, transparency and ethics is in our DNA, as well as to ensuring that the Group’s companies and the people who work in them comply with the law and with their duties of vigilance. We strive to foresee any changes in the Criminal Code, so that we can quickly align ourselves with changes in the law.
This is the reason why we drew up our Model for the Prevention and Detection of Criminal Offenses before Organic Law 1/2015 of March 30, 2015 came into force in Spain.
This law, which reforms the Criminal Code, makes it possible to hold managers and directors criminally liable in certain cases. In other words, if, due to a lack of control and vigilance, they are unable to prevent criminal offenses from being committed within the company, they may be held criminally liable
The Prevention Model is in addition to our Code of Conduct, Compliance Policy, Anti-Corruption Policy and Ethics Line as a tool to achieve a common goal: to be a model for good conduct.
The purpose of this Policy is to establish the general principles and guidelines that must govern Sener’s actions in the area of personal data management and protection to ensure compliance with the applicable laws. This Policy guarantees all individuals who interact with Sener the right to the protection of their data, ensuring respect of the right to honour and privacy in the processing of the different types of personal data originating in different sources and for various purposes, depending on their business activity. All of the above is consistent with Sener’s Code of Conduct and corporate policies.
To help ensure compliance with our Code of Conduct and Anti-Corruption Policy, we provide employees, suppliers, clients and partners with the Sener Ethics Hotline. A communication channel through which to anonymously and confidentially report activities and potentially irregular conduct that could violate the values and principles set out in the Code of Conduct or that may result in a criminal offense.
All inquiries and situations received through the Ethics Hotline are analyzed by Sener Group’s Criminal Compliance Body with a view to correctly handling them. A detailed best practice-based protocol allows us to quickly provide an appropriate response, with rigor and the utmost confidentiality.
