Telecom’s suppliers are contractually obligated to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including those related to tax, labor, social security, anti-corruption, money laundering, health and safety, and environmental standards. They are also required to adhere to Telecom’s Code of Ethics and Conduct for Third Parties and ensure their employees and subcontractors do the same. Despite our efforts to monitor supplier compliance, we cannot guarantee that all regulations will be fully adhered to, which could expose Telecom to labor and commercial contingencies.
Telecom has risk management practices at the highest levels including a Risk Management Committee designed to detect, manage and monitor the evolution of risks. However, the Company can give no assurances that these measures will be successful in effectively mitigating the operational risks we face, and such failures could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations and could damage our reputation.
