Operational and S&R risks are covered by the Group’s audit and internal control systems. Internal QSE standards are a key reference for internal control procedures. Moreover, in order to improve the transparency and reliability of the social, environmental and societal data disclosed, the Group has its procedures, reporting system and some of its environmental, social and societal indicators audited by its Statutory Auditors.

On 16 February 2011, the Board of Directors created a Business Code of Ethics and a Committee to prevent insider trading. The Audit Committee has a central role in supervising internal and external control.
