compliance with internal regulations and Corporate Governance rules, regularly evaluate the appropriateness of the system of corporate governance, review the corporate responsibility policy, monitor corporate responsibility strategy and practices and assess their degree of compliance, etc.

Pursuant to Recommendation 6 of the Code of Good Governance of Listed Companies prepared by Spain's Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (National Stock Market Commission - CNMV), the Committee has prepared the Annual Activities Report of the CNRGC, which includes the activity undertaken in 2021.
