Compliance Rules - Criminal Risk Prevention
At Inditex the Compliance Function is spearheaded by the Ethics Committee, which acts as the decision-making body, and the Compliance Department, under the General Counsel's Office, whose mission is to oversee effective execution of the Group's Compliance Model.
The Compliance Function implements the Criminal Risk Prevention Model, which is a by-product of the Code of Conduct and Responsible Practices, with which it shares the overriding purpose, as it fosters professional, ethical and responsible conduct on the part of the company and all of its employees, emphasising the prevention of white-collar crime.
This Policy relates the conduct commitments assumed in the Code of Conduct and Responsible Practices with the specific crimes which must be prevented within the company.

Ethics Committee
The Ethics Committee is made up of the company's General Counsel and Compliance Officer, who chairs it, and the heads of the Inditex Group's Internal Audit, Sustainability and Human Resources areas. Its duty is to ensure familiarity and compliance with the Code of Conduct and Responsible Practices by all Group professionals and to manage the Whistle-Blowing Channel.
It may act at its own initiative or at the urging of any Inditex employee, manufacturer, supplier or third party with a direct relationship and legitimate business or professional interest reporting an incident in good faith. It can also act on its own motion.

The Whistle-Blowing Channel can be used to report any perceived breach of the Group's codes of conduct or other in-house rules and regulations. Whistle-blowers' privacy is guaranteed so there can be no reprisals. The Channel may also be used to enquire about any ethics-related issue.
