PRINCIPLES RELATED TO THE PTEE
The Transparency and Business Ethics Program is established under the declaration of six (6) fundamental principles, which must reflect our actions at all levels and are integrated to the organizational values contained in the Code of Ethics and Conduct Manual of GRUPO AL S.A.S. Based on the above, every person linked to the company by any means is co-responsible for the proper and correct application of this Transparency and Business Ethics manual.
1.1.1 Principle of legality: all persons linked to the Company are committed to ensuring compliance with Colombian laws, as well as with the provisions and regulations issued by the authorities and the rules and policies established by the Company.
1.1.2 Principle of honesty: to the extent that all employees are aware of their responsibilities and their moral, legal, and labor obligations and practice them, it can be affirmed that they are fulfilling their duties to the community, the company and the country, and the only way to do so is to be guided by the path of an honest, transparent, and legitimate business. Those with higher hierarchical levels and responsibility for the Company’s assets and processes must be more committed to a careful conduct.
