The Code of Conduct is an important step towards the consolidation of corporate values and business ethics, and was set based on experience and a comprehensive discussion among shareholders, management and Employees.
The Ethics Line is a communication channel managed by a company separate from Loma Negra, for anyone who wishes to solve doubts, make enquiries or eventual complaints for suspected or actual misconduct or any behavior that is contrary to this Code of Conduct.
Nobody will be subject to any penalty or retaliation for information provided in good faith on suspected misconduct or any behavior that is contrary to the Code of Conduct. In addition, all calls made to the Ethics Line, as well as the reviews performed as a result of such communications, shall be kept confidential, and complainants will be able to keep their anonymity.
The Ethics Line may be contacted via the telephone at 00800 7000 1230 or through the channels available at the website http://compliance.intercement.com/etica.php.
The Ethics and Compliance Committee, consisting of members of the Board of Directors, at least one of them being an independent director, and members of the Company’s Management, is responsible, jointly with the Ethics and Compliance Officer, for administering this Code and investigating any infringement of the Code and of Applicable Laws and Regulations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances will a breach of Applicable Laws and Regulations be tolerated.
09 – GROUP’S OVERALL CONDUCT TOWARDS ITS EMPLOYEES
DIVERSITY
Loma Negra believes that the diversity of the Relevant Parties is one of the key factors for its continuous success, stability and growth. For this reason, it seeks to recruit and retain efficient and talented people and invests in their development.
NON-DISCRIMINATION
Loma Negra is committed to equal job opportunities for everyone, irrespective of their race, gender, religion, belief or nationality. Any career promotion depends exclusively on individual performance, talent, commitment to Loma Negra’s values, dedication and involvement. No discriminatory practices against any Relevant Person or candidate will be tolerated.
HARASSMENT
Moral or sexual harassment by a Relevant Party is inadmissible in a respectful and decent work environment and will not be tolerated. Loma Negra seeks to provide a work environment that is free of harassment and/or any other offensive or disrespectful conduct. In that respect, Loma Negra complies with all federal and local anti-harassment laws.
Harassment includes any inappropriate behavior, whether oral, visual, physical or other behavior that may generate an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment. Such conducts include, without limitation, the following practices: (i) sexual harassment; (ii) offensive language or jokes; (iii) inappropriate comments about race, ethnicity, gender or religion; (iv) degrading or humiliating comments; (v) intimidating or threatening behavior; (vi) hostility towards others as a result of their individual characteristics.

DRUGS, WEAPONS OR ALCOHOL: PROHIBITION
In accordance with the Golden Rule on this subject (“Working under the influence of alcohol or drugs is prohibited”), and which governs the conduct expected by Loma Negra from all of its Employees, using illegal drugs or carrying weapons is not allowed in the work environment, and is considered as a serious offence and will be subject to labor and criminal penalties. In addition, drinking alcoholic beverages is not permitted, except in celebrations organized by Loma Negra.
10 – FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF EMPLOYEES
RESPECT
Every Employee, irrespective of their duties, position, title or salary, will be treated with respect and consideration, and they will be offered conditions for personal and professional development based on reality in their work unit.
APPRECIATION
Loma Negra believes in human and professional development of its Employees, promoting and recognizing each of them on the basis of their merits, respect for this Code of Conduct and individual performance. The Human Resources policy encourages comradeship and cooperation in professional relationships, teamwork, responsible leadership and initiatives, including, but not limited to, quality of life programs, and clear and transparent communication, which may foster a differentiated environment within the organization. The organization encourages respect and cooperation among Employees, for the purpose of creating an internal environment that is conducive to business growth and the group’s continuity.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
Occupational health and safety conditions are a top priority for Loma Negra; they should be permanently monitored and should ensure all Employees are exposed to the lowest risk possible when exercising their duties. For such purpose, prevention, education and awareness policies should be implemented.
Hence, everyone should abide by general preventive health and safety standards, and participate in training sessions and guidance activities.
11 – PERSONAL CONDUCT OF EMPLOYEES
CONFLICT OF INTERESTS
Any personal activities and relationships conflicting with Loma Negra’s interests should be avoided. The following is recommended. In case of doubts as to the existence of a conflict of interests, please see this Code of Conduct, check with the Ethics and Compliance Officer, the Ethics Line or the Ethics and Compliance Committee.
Employees should avoid situations in which their personal interests may present an actual or potential conflict with Loma Negra’s interests, and if in doubt, they should seek advice from internal policies and this Code of Conduct.
Loma Negra respects affective relationships between its Employees. However, the Company understands that certain boundaries should be established in order to prevent a conflict of interests. Thus, relationships with a hierarchical subordination and/or influence on process and management decisions are not accepted.
