Corporate Governance

Insofar as we ask for society's assistance to continue making progress with our mission, our duty is to give a clear, detailed and transparent account of the support we receive and to work constantly with great professionalism, rigour and coherence.

We therefore abide by a series of laws, controls and indicators that guarantee this undertaking.

• We are subject to current Government of Catalonia legislation concerning Foundations: Law 4/2008 of the Third Book of the Civil Code of Catalonia concerning Juridical Persons, Law 7/2012, of 15 June, concerning modifications to the Third Book of the Civil Code of Catalonia, concerning Juridical Persons and Law 21/2014, on the Supervision of Foundations and the verification of the activities of associations declared to be of public utility.

• We are also subject to Law 49/2002, on not-for-profit entities and fiscal incentives for patronage.

• The Josep Carreras Foundation applies Law 10/2010 concerning the prevention of money laundering and combatting the financing of terrorism, and has a manual describing the procedures and measures of control established for the prevention of money laundering and to combat the financing of terrorism.
