Strengthening the compliance function is one of the priority actions of Redeia due, among other reasons, to the requirements to which the Company is held to account by its stakeholders with respect to maintaining high levels of service excellence and the highest ethical standards in the performance of its functions, and also due to the increasing geographical diversification of the Group and the progressive expansion of the horizon of its activities.

Redeia has a Compliance System in place that is aligned with best practices in the field in order to provide the organisation with a support framework in the fulfilment of the obligations and commitments undertaken. The compliance function aims to promote a global and anticipatory vision of compliance risks and ensure an efficient control thereof, guaranteeing the coordination and standardisation of its management at a corporate level.

According to the commitment of responsible and sustainable management of the Group and, in accordance with best management practices, the organisation has a Compliance Unit integrated into the Internal Audit and Control Risk Management Area.

Compliance risk assessments

The Company has defined a specific methodology for the assessment of compliance risks, aligned with the corporate risk assessment methodology, in order to have a detailed diagnosis not only of the inherent risks faced by the organisation regarding compliance but also of the existing control framework to prevent such risks.

Development of a compliance culture

The Compliance Unit is responsible for promoting adequate awareness and disclosure to the entire organisation regarding the relevance and strategic nature of the Compliance System for the Group within the integrity culture of the organisation.

The Company continuously carries out actions, that include the participation of experts in compliance matters, to raise awareness and disseminate the Compliance System to members of the organisation. It also has a Compliance Forum for the communication and exchange of general information on the compliance function, and the latest news and changes and best practices produced at a national and international level in this field.
