Cellnex has implemented robust measures to promptly, independently and objectively prevent, detect, investigate and respond to allegations or incidents relating to bribery and corruption, as outlined in the Anti-Bribery, Gifts and Hospitality Policy, the Corruption Prevention Procedure, and the Policy for the Whistleblowing Channel. According to the Anti-Bribery, Gifts and Hospitality Policy, any subject person who is knowledgeable of, or suspects, a violation of Cellnex’s Anti-Bribery Management System or related policies is required to report it either directly to their hierarchical superior or through the Whistleblowing Channel, using the designated reporting mechanisms. This ensures a clear and structured approach to addressing concerns, guaranteeing that potential issues are timely flagged. The Committee of Ethics and Compliance (CEC) is entitled to independently initiate investigations if any signs suggest a possible breach of the Anti-Bribery, Gifts and Hospitality Policy or related policies. This independent approach ensures that investigations are objective and free from conflicts of interest. Additionally, Cellnex has a Corruption Prevention Procedure that sets forth the principles and standards that must be followed for combating bribery and corruption. This Procedure serves as a guide for all managers, employees, governing bodies, and third parties, detailing their expected conduct in relation to the prevention, detection, investigation, and redress of any corrupt practices. It, thus, ensures that all stakeholders are aligned with Cellnex’s ethical and legal standards.
