Purpose of the Model

Diseño sin título - 1
  • The purpose of our Crime Prevention Model It is designed to mitigate the risk of the Sabadell Seguros y Pensiones entities in Spain incurring criminal liability for offences committed in the name or on behalf of the company, whether for direct or indirect benefit, by their legal representatives and de facto or de jure administrators in such cases as envisaged in the Criminal Code.
  • Legal entities These entities can also be criminally liable for offences committed in the exercise of corporate activities, whether for direct or indirect benefit, when such acts are perpetrated by individuals under the authority of other individuals who hold powers of administration and management and due to a failure to exercise due control over them.

Our Crime Prevention Model

The model includes the following preventive measures:

  • Criminal Compliance Policy, which outlines ​​​​​​the criminal offences applicable to legal entities and also includes the following details and criteria: 
    • ​​​​​Behaviours that constitute an offence
    • ​​​​​​​The commitment of the entities to preventing offences
    • What is expected of members of the Organisation and of our Business Partners.
  • A Criminal Supervisory Authority.
  • Channels of Communication and Complaints: It is compulsory to report any event potentially related to a crime through our whistleblowing channel. The whistleblowing channel currently available for Sabadell Seguros y Pensiones entities is the “Zurich Ethics Line”. This channel is shared with our partner Zurich Seguros and is also available to third parties.
  • Disciplinary System: In accordance with prevailing provisions, and as set out in the collective agreement applicable to the insurance sector published in the Official State Gazette (BOE) on 1 June 2017, a disciplinary protocol has been established with regard to breaches of compliance with the criminal prevention model that may result in disciplinary sanctions being brought against offenders.
