What is the ethics line?
It is our whistleblower channel created to report the facts that imply in any way the breach of ethical principles or rules of conduct enshrined in our Code of Ethics and Conduct. For us, it is important to report any type of suspicion or evidence of improper acts by employees, customers or suppliers, for which the ethics hotline emerges as an alternative that allows the anonymity of the person submitting the report to be preserved.
Our ethical principles
Who must comply with the Code of Ethics and Conduct?
The Code of Ethics and Conduct mandates that the Board of Directors, Senior Management, Workers and third parties observe the principles and rules of conduct enshrined therein. No one within the organization is authorized to request that ethical offenses be committed or that the provisions of this Code be contravened and conduct that contravenes what is established cannot be justified.
The necessary measures must be demanded and taken so that third parties that act or carry out efforts in the name of or on behalf of the Exchange are aware of and comply with this Code. When a situation lacks a specific guideline, the established ethical values and rules must be applied, and if guidance is required in this regard, the immediate superior or the Ethics Line must be consulted.
The Statutory Auditors, the Brokerage Firms that are members of the Exchange and the people linked to them and the Gas Market Agents escape the application of this Code of Ethics and Conduct.

- Political Organizations
