Ethics Committee
The Ethics Committee will investigate any potential irregularities or wrongdoing when reported via the Ethics Channel
The Ethics Committee, together with the Internal Audits Department (which is responsible for the internal information System), will process the reports received via the Ethics Channel and other internal channels available at Esade.
Ethics Committee members
If there is a conflict of interest between the person filing a report and an Ethics Committee member, one of the substitutes previously designated by the Fundació Esade Board of Trustees (Rebeca Carpi and Jordi Mora, currently) will stand in for the committee member in question.
