"The Línea Correcta Whistleblower Hotline allows stakeholders to anonymously report (via an independent third party) violations of the Company's Code of Conduct. The hotline is reviewed by the Committee twice a year (February and July meetings) and the Chairman of the Committee gives a report to the Board every six months on the key trends and steps taken as a result of these reviews. [...] The effectiveness of the Linea Correcta is routinely reviewed twice a year. In addition, the results of a more detailed review of its effectiveness were considered in February 2024. Actions taken following the review included: (i) a communication campaign to improve awareness of the hotline; (ii) targeted training linked to levels of involvement in the whistleblowing arrangements; (iii) steps to reinforce confidentiality throughout the investigation process; and (iv) strengthening the role of the Labour Commission in the mines. [...] During the year, the Committee was satisfied that all matters had been or continue to be properly investigated with appropriate action taken.
