In defining our Code of Ethics, we were inspired by the UN Global Compact\u2019s
10 principles on human and labour rights, environmental sustainability, and the fight against corruption.<\/p>\n

We formally adopted these by including them in a Code of Ethics that establishes the values and corporate principles we set as a reference for not only our shareholders, directors and employees, but also our partners, collaborators and suppliers.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
