Whistleblower channel

ETHICAL AND TRANSPARENCY COMMITMENT

Distributions Túnel (formerly, Wineries Túnel) and all its corporate structure (hereinafter, “TÚNEL GROUP” or “Túnel and its companies”), through what was agreed by its Board of Directors, promoted in 2018 the approval of a Crime Prevention model with which it intends to remain at the forefront of Good Corporate Governance and take a further step in the Corporation's commitment to continuous improvement to position itself, at all times, at the highest standards in terms of integrity and professionalism in the performance of its activity.

This Channel ensures anonymous communication of complaints filed.

The purpose of this Channel is to enable any person or organisation to report and/or communicate any possible irregular, unethical or inappropriate conduct by any person who is employed, represents or participates in any way with the TÚNEL GROUP. In this regard, it encourages its employees, clients, users, suppliers or any person who has contact with our services to communicate with us and send us their suggestions, complaints or any indication that may be useful to us.

We would appreciate it if you could provide us with any details you may have (dates, names, places, etc.) that could help us in a possible internal investigation process, in order to obtain the maximum credible evidence.

CONTACT DETAILS

Complaints may be made anonymously. However, in order to carry out appropriate follow-up, contact information will be requested from the reporting person, and it is up to the person to decide whether to provide it or to make the report anonymously.

In any case, the protection of the person who makes a complaint will not exempt them from any liability that they may have incurred for acts other than those that constitute the subject of the complaint.
