EQUALITY PLANS

The Cepsa companies have equality instruments that reflect the size of their workforce: Equality Plans or Set of Measures. In both cases, the workers representatives are provided with monitoring information through the Integrated Management Report.

PROTOCOLS AGAINST SEXUAL AND GENDER-BASED HARASSMENT

Cepsa prohibits any form of harassment or violence. The Ethics and Compliance Channel is one of the key tools for managing these situations.

We have developed policies and procedures, and agreed protocols for action with trade unions for the investigation of complaints of sexual or moral harassment (mobbing), with the aim of mitigating and repairing situations caused by improper conduct, ensuring full respect for personal privacy and dignity.

Through these policies and protocols, measures are put in place to ensure that:

· Any type of harassment situation is identified by management and can be reported by the person concerned, by the workers' representatives or by any worker.

· The complaint is investigated to prove the existence or non-existence of situations of harassment, preserving the anonymity of the complainant, opening the possibility of precautionary measures if necessary, and ensuring the independence of the investigators.

· Disciplinary measures are taken if necessary for all irregularities detected. · Action plans, including psychosocial action plans if necessary, are carried out to restore the working environment and/or

prevent recurrence of a situation or risk detected in the course of the proceedings.

The Ethics and Compliance Committee receives information on both harassment complaints received and those resulting from the harassment protocol undertaken by the Human Resources Department.
