This was recently highlighted by the European Economic and Social Committee, which views tax policies as fundamental to meeting the SDGs, as they shape the economic environment in which investment, employment, and innovation occur, while providing the government with revenue to finance public spending.<\/p><p>For this reason, GRI has a team of tax experts who, in collaboration with the legal, financial, and compliance departments, update the Group\u2019s plans and policies in line with current and future requirements in the countries where it operates.<\/p><p>Currently, the tax system already includes certain instruments that can facilitate the achievement of the SDGs, notably those related to governance, climate change, and efficiency, innovation, and diversity. Below, we summarize some examples:<\/p><ul><li>In line with GRI\u2019s social initiatives, tax incentives for non-profit organizations and patronage stand out.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>In line with the GRI Group\u2019s policies and mechanisms to combat fraud, money laundering, and corruption, a key feature is the non-deductibility for corporate income tax (CIT) of expenses arising from actions contrary to the legal system (bribes and other similar conduct that could foster corruption).<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>In line with the Group\u2019s Tax Strategy, and from the perspective of tax governance itself, the growing importance of good tax governance and so-called tax compliance for tax risk management stands out.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>In line with diversity and equality policies, the Corporate Income Tax (CIT) deduction for job creation for workers with disabilities is highlighted.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>In line with its innovative strategy and the minimization of the environmental impact of GRI\u2019s activities, tax incentives for R&amp;D&amp;I activities are noteworthy.<\/li><\/ul><p>We highlight two tax mechanisms that directly contribute to the achievement of GRI Renewable Industries\u2019 \u201cCarbon Neutral 2030\/50 Plan\u201d:<\/p><ul><li>In the area of sustainable mobility, current personal income tax (IRPF) regulations include measures aimed at promoting the use of public transportation and energy-efficient vehicles by employees, which allow for the design of environmentally sustainable compensation plans.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Significant tax credits for promoting renewable energy and public transportation plans within the scope of local taxes (property tax, business activity tax, and construction tax).<\/li><\/ul><p>Likewise, significant progress and initiatives are expected in the tax sphere, such as the potential transformation of the tax system to align it with the SDGs, as well as the analysis of an optimal tax system that promotes the internalization of the environmental impact of economic activities, with two clear examples where GRI is firmly positioned:<\/p><ul><li>In the fight against climate change, both through a negative approach (creation of new taxes) and a positive approach (tax reductions and the establishment of tax incentives). In this area, numerous opportunities exist provided that the measures adopted are properly defined, integrated into the overall tax system, and adequately coordinated with environmental policies in each country.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>In the circular economy, as a key lever for achieving the SDGs, helping to preserve and improve natural capital, optimize resource use, and promote system efficiency, while revealing and eliminating negative externalities (market failures).<\/li><\/ul><p>GRI Renewable Industries is firmly convinced of the need for an international framework that establishes an environmental tax system addressing the real needs of the current landscape, with environmental taxes that provide a permanent incentive toward more environmentally responsible behavior, reduce the tax burden, and encourage innovation through new, less polluting forms of production, transportation, and consumption, thereby implementing the \u201cpolluter pays\u201d principle.<\/p><p>Well-defined environmental taxes, combined with an ambitious yet realistic action plan, can bring about effective change in the environment, contributing to the achievement of the SDGs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1752594 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1752594\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Compliance Model<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0cb7845 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"0cb7845\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"#\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">(Content 2-23, 2-24, 2-26, 2-27, and 3-3)<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a50ba6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4a50ba6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Internal Audit and Compliance<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-988ecc2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"988ecc2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Company has a global corporate culture that has upheld the same values and principles since its inception, while adapting to the local needs of each country, current market conditions, and the demands of stakeholders.

These sanctions have been extended by the EU until July 2026.<\/li><li>Cyber threats and online fraud, which are increasingly prevalent and employ increasingly sophisticated mechanisms, making it difficult to design and implement effective controls to mitigate them.<\/li><li>Risk due to shortages and dependence on critical raw materials for the steel industry.<\/li><li>The growing volume of legislation, not only in Spain but also internationally, as well as increasingly demanding customer requirements.
