Ethics and compliance are at the centre of CAPSA's decisions
CAPSA FOOD has always been firmly committed to integrating all stakeholders’ expectations: consumers, customers, suppliers, employees, shareholders, public and social institutions, unions and society in general, into its business so that it can reconcile interests that don’t always coincide.
The company has demonstrated this since signing and communicating its Code of Ethics in 2015, which it continuously strives to improve and which was the starting point and integrating element of the previous Crime Prevention and Detection Model to ensure the behaviour of the entire company in internal and external relationships, in accordance with the ethical expectations demanded by society.
However, the evolution of legal norms (Organic Law 1/2015, 30 March, which modifies Organic Law 10/1995, 23 November, the Penal Code) and, more importantly, the interpretations that jurisprudence and judicial bodies have been making in light of new cases that have arisen, together with compiling and coding undertaken by organisations such as the Spanish Standardisation Association through its UNE standards, have led CAPSA to deeply review its previous model, now presenting the current Criminal Compliance Management System (CCMS) that will enable the company to structure all the risks and controls that affect criminal compliance within its processes in a more uniform and standardised way.
Pursuant to the UNE 19.601:2017 standard, CAPSA has implemented due diligence procedures in the CCMS in the company’s main processes, such as those related to the financial, commercial and sales areas, procurement and relationships with suppliers, as well as human resources, enabling it to reinforce the controls already in place and managing the risk level of each of the company’s operations more operationally from the start.
To reinforce the operation of all these procedures, CAPSA has updated its Code of Ethics, which is available to all stakeholders for their knowledge and dissemination.
CAPSA has also developed and implemented the Compliance Policy within the company, establishing the values defined in the Code of Ethics and expressing the organisation’s intention and commitments for developing compliance plans and systems within its activities.
We have approved a Code of Conduct for Business Partners, which aims to reflect and preserve the high standards of conduct that have been and are part of the company’s culture and way of doing business, especially when business is carried out in the Spanish and international markets and with the influence of different cultural environments that require transparent standards and compliance with the provisions of various laws, guaranteeing competitiveness and fair play in the market.
