At the CENTRE D’ESTUDIS DEMOGRÀFICS we believe in the importance of fostering a safe, ethical, equal, and trusting environment.

For this reason, we have implemented a robust Ethical Channel that allows anyone to report possible misconduct or ethical violations that they have detected in our organization. A channel where any possible non-compliance or irregularity can be reported to the organization, as described in Spanish Law 2/2023, of February 20th, regulating the protection of people who report regulatory and anti-corruption violations.

The law is very strict about the type of infringements that must be reported in this way, which is why we have drawn up a protocol approved by the CED’s Governing Council, which must be consulted beforehand: LINK TO THE DOCUMENT.

For this reason, the CED wanted to take advantage of the channel’s existence to be able to convey a wider range of alerts, assigning a specific entry to everything that refers to issues related to the Equality and Diversity Management Plan, as well as to its protocols against harassment.

We understand that confidentiality is critical to encouraging people to report. We guarantee absolute confidentiality throughout the process and protect the identity of the reporting person to the extent permitted by law. It includes the possibility of making the alert anonymously.
