Considering these values, as well as the importance of behavioral and ethical matters, we established rules and communication channels to ensure that all persons can report any known or reasonable suspicious irregularities. It is the duty of each one of us to report anything that may constitute an irregularity.
What is it?

Who should report?
All stakeholders should report any known or reasonable suspicious irregularities.
