Sareb complies with the requirements established in regulations applicable to our entity and also those established in our Articles of Association. Despite not being a listed company, we have adopted the principles of Good Corporate Governance applicable to listed companies, i.e., our regulatory system is stricter than that of a standard public company. Furthermore, all of Sareb’s employees are subject to a stringent Code of Conduct, the principles of which stem from our corporate values: integrity, transparency and civic engagement.
Our three ethical pillars are present in all our activities and in all areas of our work. Our corporate governance and control measures are even more stringent than applicable regulations.
Our corporate governance structure is made up of the Board of Directors, which makes decisions and establishes guidelines, the management team, which channels these decisions and guidelines to the different work areas and two committees, which are responsible for the internal control.
