Whistleblower Channel

El Cerrito makes this Whistleblower Channel available to its employees, directors, advisors, suppliers, authorities, and third parties in general, so that any of them may report illegal or irregular behaviors or situations detected in El Cerrito's operations. This is established within the framework of its Crime Prevention Model and the additional documentation that comprises the Compliance Program approved by El Cerrito's Board of Directors, in accordance with Law No. 20,393, which establishes the criminal liability of legal entities. Reports must be serious, well-founded, and, ideally, accompanied by documents to help substantiate the reported facts. Otherwise, El Cerrito's Compliance Officer may dismiss and archive the case or request clarifications via the email address provided by the whistleblower.

What is the Karin Law?

Law No. 21,643, commonly known as the Karin Law (named after Karin Salgado, who took her own life in 2019 after suffering workplace harassment), amends the Labor Code and other legal bodies (constitutional organic laws and administrative statutes) with the aim of preventing, investigating, and sanctioning workplace harassment, sexual harassment, and workplace violence in both the private and public sectors. It also requires companies and State agencies to establish a prevention protocol for workplace harassment, sexual harassment, and workplace violence.
