IBERSOL | Integrated Management Report - 2024

INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT REPORT 2024 employees (e.g. cleaning services, transport/logistics services, etc.) and involve them in managing actual or potential impacts. The Central Purchasing and Logistics Departments, the Quality Management Department and the Business Departments play a fundamental role in this interaction, upstream and downstream, and will play a key role in defining the new Purchasing Policy and Code of Conduct. As has been explained, there is currently no formal system in place for involving employees in the value chain. With the new internal regulatory framework, procedures and routines can be created that will increase the frequency, intensity and formality of engagement with employees in the value chain, particularly with regard to potentially more vulnerable or marginalised groups. 5.3.2.3 Processes for correcting negative impacts and channels for workers in the value chain to voice their concerns [DR ESRS S2-3] There is no systematised history of the promotion and use of external whistleblowing channels related to the value chain. However, the Ibersol Group’s internal whistleblowing channel is published on the company’s website and is, in effect, open to external use, so its use can also be extended to reporting situations of infraction relating to the value chain workforce. To this end, within the scope of the new Purchasing policy, the Ibersol Group will promote the dissemination and use of the existing whistleblowing channel among employees in the value chain, and will also ensure that its effectiveness is monitored. 215
