We are dedicated to upholding human rights in all territories and countries where we operate. The formal integration of the Ten Principles of respect for human rights into Redeia’s corporate culture further solidifies their Commitment to promoting and respecting human rights. These Principles can be found in Redeia's Sustainability Policy and in its Code of Conduct and Ethics.

These principles, which we evaluate once a year, have been developed taking into account internationally recognised traditional and emerging human rights, the sectors in which we operate, and the grievance mechanisms accessible to all stakeholders. This periodic analysis allows us to stay abreast of and identify any new risks arising from day-to-day activities or changes in the company's scope.

Thus, due to the sectors and territories in which we currently operate, our most significant human rights risks are associated with forced and child labour, human trafficking, freedom of association and collective bargaining, equal pay, discrimination, health and safety, decent work, privacy and data protection, identity of indigenous peoples and their economic, social, and cultural rights, property rights, a healthy natural environment, and ethical management.

We also work with stakeholders who may be affected, with special attention to vulnerable groups, such as women, children, indigenous populations, migrant workers, third-party employees, local communities, people with disabilities, the LGBTI population, and ethnic minorities. Our scope also includes employees, landowners, and, of course, society as a whole.

In order to extend this behaviour throughout the supply chain, the Supplier Code of Conduct establishes the duty of our suppliers to respect human rights.

Since 2013, we have been conducting annual due diligence analyses covering all Redeia’s companies (including the companies ARGO and TEN) to identify, evaluate, remedy, mitigate, and prevent potential risks or impacts in terms of human rights arising from our direct and indirect activity.

Our internal guidelines, known as the "Human rights due diligence Guide for own operations”, outline the three stages of this procedure:

• Determination of potential and actual impacts: based on human rights and rights holders included in our commitment, we identify, prioritise, and assess potential and actual adverse impacts through a bespoke method based on the probability of occurrence of the impact and its severity. We also analyse our policies, commitments, and control mechanisms to reduce these risks, ensure respect for human rights, and remedy any violations. Finally, we obtain the Human Rights Risk Map, which we update on an annual basis.
• Implementation of measures for prevention, mitigation, and remediation of risks: we integrate the conclusions drawn from the Human Rights Risk Map into the company's functions and procedures and propose and implement prevention, mitigation and/or remediation measures with specific improvement goals. If any violations are detected, we repair the damage caused and guarantee the victims' access to justice.
• Follow-up on the implemented measures: we evaluate the performance of the measures based on previously defined qualitative and quantitative indicators at least every twelve months. Should the results not be as desired and/or the damage persists, we will review the implemented measures and consult and collaborate with employees and the parties affected to define new solutions.

The result of the due diligence process has shown that, to date, we maintain a low level of risk of human rights violations and that our activity has not breached the human rights of any stakeholder group.

It is necessary to point out that, although Peru has indigenous populations, there are no indigenous communities or settlements in the direct area of influence of our activities, and, therefore, there is no impact on this population group. Additionally, as derived from our Commitment, we undertake to respect the freedom and rights of ethnic minorities and indigenous populations.

Furthermore, we extend our commitment to integrity and human rights to those third parties with whom we intend to maintain any relationship and apply counterparty due diligence measures in accordance with the related risk. This process is carried out through the "Third-Party Due Diligence and Human Rights Guidelines”, which involve corporate operations, business partners, external agents, administrators, the management team, collaborating entities in the social environment, title holders and landowners, suppliers, and customers.

Before formalising any relationship with them, we collect information on their integrity and human rights management, focusing on employees, vulnerable groups, landowners, and society as a whole. To this end, we establish due diligence measures that we apply accordingly to counterparty risks and the features of the relationship they intend to establish.

To ensure continuous improvement in the area of due diligence, we carry out annual reviews of the internal regulations governing these two mechanisms.

Redeia has a Whistle-blowing and Compliance Channel, accessible to all its stakeholders, as a formal mechanism for enquiries and grievances regarding human rights.

If you need to share your concerns regarding any matter in the area of human rights, you can use the DÍGAME Service or the ASA Channel (Procurement Support and Helpdesk) for suppliers. Additionally, we promote and maintain a permanent relationship with the local areas where our facilities are located.

For the proper management of enquiries about possible human rights violations, employees managing these channels receive regular training.

Every year we publish the results of the human rights due diligence process through the Annual Sustainability Report, including identified potential and actual impacts as well as the measures taken and their outcomes. Furthermore, we publish an annual Report on the Management of the Code of Ethics, which includes an analysis of the possible grievances received in this field.

Periodically, we drive internal and external communication and awareness-raising initiatives aimed at employees and company suppliers.
