Declaration of private interests and management of conflicts of interest
At Tetas, we ensure that employees declare their private interests and that potential conflicts of interest are managed. We have established a list of positions whose holders are required to declare private interests under the Law on the Adjustment of Public and Private Interests. To clarify which situations may give rise to conflicts of interest, we have also compiled a list of areas of activity where situations involving conflicts of interest as defined in the Law are most likely to arise.
In accordance with Article 11(4) of the Law on the Adjustment of Public and Private Interests, we publish information on instances where the Head of Tetas has declared a recusal and/or has been disqualified from participating in a decision-making process.
Employee reliability checks
We seek to ensure that Tetas employs individuals of impeccable reputation. Therefore, in accordance with the Law on the Protection of Objects of Importance to Ensuring National Security and the Law on the Prevention of Corruption, we conduct reliability checks on individuals seeking employment at Tetas.
In accordance with the Law on the Prevention of Corruption, a list of positions for which selected candidates are subject to reliability checks has been established (effective from 1 November 2026).
Acceptance and giving of gifts
Tetas does not tolerate any gifts given in connection with work or positions held, except for gifts permitted under the EPSO-G Group Anti-Corruption Policy. Employees are prohibited from accepting gifts in the form of cash, gift vouchers or alcoholic beverages, as well as gifts of low value if the circumstances in which they are given or received could be interpreted ambiguously, viewed controversially or create the appearance of a conflict of interest.
Trust line
Probability of corruption occurrence
In accordance with Article 10 of the Law on the Prevention of Corruption, Tetas may assess the probability of corruption occurrence.
The probability of corruption occurrence refers to the possibility that certain external, internal or individual risk factors affecting the company’s activities may create opportunities for corruption to arise. To identify and eliminate or manage corruption risk factors, the probability of corruption occurrence is assessed and measures to reduce or eliminate corruption risks are established.
No assessments of the probability of corruption occurrence have been carried out at Tetas in the past four years.
