Based on our policy of transparency in this area, FCC publishes an Annual Corporate Governance Report which is filed with the CNMV.
- FCC Group Code of Ethical Conduct
As part of the social responsibility and transparency commitments assumed by FCC (adherence to the UN Global Compact, Corporate Social Responsibility Master Plan), on 10 June 2008 the Group's board of directors approved the FCC Group Code of Ethical Conduct.
This Code has been prepared to unify and strengthen the Group's identity, culture and behavioural framework, providing a tool that focuses and guides our actions regarding important social order, environmental and ethical issues.
The main ethical principles included in the Code have been designed for the FCC Group's directors, managers and employees, and compliance is mandatory.
The Code includes a procedure whereby all employees may report any activities or conduct which are considered inappropriate with regard to the principles contained therein, in strict confidentiality and with no fear of reprisals.
The homepage of the Group's intranet has a section entitled "ethical channel", which includes the text of the Code and the ways in which queries can be raised or breaches of the Code reported.
Compliance with the FCC Group's Code of Ethics is the responsibility of the Internal Code of Conduct Monitoring Committee. This Committee is already in charge of applying, interpreting and monitoring the provisions contained in the aforementioned internal code of conduct within the FCC Group securities market.

.PDF format (~148KB)- Internal Reporting Channel
FCC has established this channel, which fulfils the requirements of article 41.3 of the Rules of the Board of Directors of FCC which states, in connection with reporting and internal control systems, that the Audit and Control Committee is responsible for: 'receiving, from employees, confidential (though not anonymous) reports from employees and written communiqués about possible material irregularities, particularly of a financial or accounting nature, that they observe in any FCC Group company'.
The reporting procedure also responds to recommendation 50.d) of the Unified Corporate Governance Code which indicates that it is the Audit and Control Committee's responsibility 'to establish and supervise a mechanism whereby staff can report, confidentially and, if necessary, anonymously, any irregularities they detect in the course of their duties, in particular financial or accounting irregularities, with potentially serious implications for the firm'.
FCC Group employees may use this Channel, in accordance with the regulated procedure, via the Group's intranet.
