Corporate and organisational structure

The Corporate Governance consists of a set of rules and methods necessary for planning, managing and controlling the operation of the Company, outlined by the Board of Directors, in compliance with the regulations that the Company is subject to as a listed Issuer and in adherence to the Code of Corporate Governance approved by the Corporate Governance Committee.

This Corporate Governance system is based on certain key principles, such as correct and transparent business management implemented through the identification of information flows between corporate bodies and an efficient definition of the internal control and risk management system.
