Authority for the Protection of Whistleblowers (AAI)

ANNEX I: External Reporting Channels

In accordance with the provisions of the Whistleblower Protection Law, any person is entitled to report
criminal offences, serious or very serious administrative offences, as well as infringements of European Union law, directly to the Independent Whistleblower Protection Authority (AAI), without prejudice to prior or simultaneous reporting through the internal reporting channel.

In Spain, the function of Whistleblower Protection corresponds to the Independent Whistleblower Protection Authority (AAI). Likewise, certain Autonomous Communities have designated their own independent authorities, competent to perform functions analogous to those of the AAI in cases where the potential infringements produce effects exclusively within their territorial scope.

The European Union, as well as the various Member States, also provide external reporting channels for receiving communications concerning infringements of their respective legal systems.

Below is a list of the independent whistleblower protection authorities competent both at the national level (Spain and its Autonomous Communities), and in the different European Union Member States in which the Group conducts its activities.
