What is it?
The Internal Reporting Channel or Whistleblowing Mechanism of Aranguren Comercial del Embalaje, S.L. (Aranco) is a secure and confidential means of reporting facts or behaviours that may constitute a legal, ethical, or regulatory breach within the company.
It enables any person in a work-related or professional context linked to Aranco (employees, former employees, suppliers, contractors, partners, interns, or candidates) to responsibly report potential irregularities.
The management of this channel is carried out externally, independently, and confidentially by the company GESPRODAT S.L., ensuring compliance with Law 2/2023 of 20 February, governing the protection of individuals who report regulatory infringements and the fight against corruption.
