Code of Ethics and Responsible Practices

1.- INTRODUCTION

This Code, developed and adopted by the Board of Directors of Grupo Aire, and ratified by the General Meeting of Shareholders on 28/09/2018, establishes the performance criteria that must be observed by Grupo Aire in the performance of its professional responsibilities.

The aim of the Code is to strive for professional, ethical and responsible behaviour of Grupo Aire and all its employees when conducting their activities, both in its establishments open to the public and in its offices, as an element that contributes to its corporate culture in which training and the personal and professional development of its employees is a priority. To that end, the Code:

Promotes the knowledge and application of the corporate culture of Grupo Aire, firmly rooted in the fulfilment of human and social rights, and the effective integration of all employees, with respect for their diversity, into the company, with special observance of the Rights and standards recognized in the International Labor Organization.
Encourages and aims to guarantee the principle of due diligence for the prevention, detection and eradication of illegal conduct, whatever its nature, including, among others, the analysis and identification of risks, the revoking of responsibilities, the training of employees and third parties directly related to the company, and the establishment of procedures for the identification and immediate elimination of illegal conduct.
Takes into account the principle of criminal liability of legal persons, enshrined in Article 31 bis of the Criminal Code, and prevents and sanctions the existence of conduct that may determine the liability of the company among its legal representatives, managers, employees or any other person who is subject to the authority of the company's personnel.

To this end, the principles and values that must govern the relations between the Group and its main stakeholders (employees, customers, shareholders, business partners, suppliers and those societies in which it conducts its business model) are defined.

The Code is based on a series of general principles, the most important of which is that all of Grupo Aire's operations shall be carried out under an ethical and responsible prism; that all natural and legal persons who directly or indirectly maintain any labour, economic, social and/or industrial relationship with Grupo Aire will receive fair and dignified treatment; and that all of the Group's activities shall be carried out in the most environmentally-friendly manner, favouring the conservation of biodiversity and the sustainable management of natural resources.

Likewise, the Code includes commitments to responsible conduct and practices, including: compliance with applicable legislation; compliance with human and labour rights, and with regulations and good practices regarding employment, occupational health and safety; the obligation to act in accordance with the criteria of respect, dignity and justice, taking into account the different cultural sensitivities of employees and/or customers, their diversity and multiculturalism; compliance with product health and safety standards; the establishment of lawful, ethical and respectful relationships with suppliers and authorities; the obligation to avoid conflicts of interest; the duty to use efficiently; the duty to efficiently use the goods and services of Grupo Aire, to protect the Company's information and to comply with regulations on the protection of personal data; the obligation to protect one's own and third parties' industrial and intellectual property; the duty to record economically significant transactions clearly and accurately in the appropriate accounting records and the development of the Group's activity, promoting social and environmental sustainability as a means of creating value for all stakeholders.

Ethics requires the company to strictly comply with the legislation applicable in each case, as well as with the Articles of Association and the Partners Agreement of Grupo Aire, constituting an essential element to guarantee the rights and interests of all the interest groups affected by it: employees, customers, shareholders, suppliers and business partners and society in general.

2.- SCOPE OF APPLICATION

The Code applies to all companies, present and future, that make up Grupo Aire, as well as to all its establishments and offices, and binds all its personnel, both staff and management, regardless of their position and function within the company.

The application of the Code, in whole or in part, may be extended to any individual and/or legal entity related to Grupo Aire, when appropriate for the fulfilment of its purpose and is possible due to the nature of the relationship.

All Directors, Officers, employees, and any representatives shall be personally informed of the Code, when so required by the nature of their relationship, who shall undertake to comply with it in writing. Likewise, the obligation to comply with the Code will be expressly included in the employment contracts of the employees, who shall be given a copy upon joining the company.
