Invitations and Gifts

In compliance with external and internal laws and regulations.

Delivered or accepted without waiting for reciprocity.

Socially acceptable.

Consistent with the interests of our company and with normal business practices.

Occasional and not excessive.

Every time our collaborators receive or deliver a gift to a third party with which Telefónica interacts, including public servants, they must report it through the means that the Compliance Department has provided for it.
