Linea Correcta is a whistleblowing line to report unethical behaviours in a confidential, safe, easy to use and anonymous manner, operated by EthicsGlobal, a leading independent third party in the country specializing in the management of complaints and reports.
The integrity of an organization has a direct impact on its reputation and success. When we all demonstrate our integrity, our customers, suppliers, community and even our competitors perceive us with an honest and fair image. In addition, our reputation grows positively.
Conducting ourselves with integrity is not always easy and acting appropriately can even be challenging. Sometimes it is difficult to search among the different laws, regulations, policies and procedures that apply to us.
Acting with integrity is not complicated. If you have questions regarding the right way to act, or if a person is not acting according to the expected by Fresnillo plc, you have the duty to report it, and the right to count on safe, easy, confidential and where appropriate, anonymous means to do so.
Your line manager or supervisor is a resource for this, but if you consider this is not the best option or you have been unheard, you can use our Linea Correcta whistleblowing line.
We are committed to review each and every case, and if the case so requires, to conduct a thorough investigation and, when appropriate, to sanction or apply corrective measures.
It is your choice to provide your name and contact information, it is not necessary however to identify yourself; thus, you can submit a report anonymously.
Fresnillo plc expects all its employees and stakeholders to comply with and help maintain the values according to the Code of Conduct by doing the right thing, complying with established rules and policies, as well as the laws, rules and regulations that apply to us.
Your manager, supervisor or line manager.
