The certificate, issued by the Bureau Veritas certification body, is accredited by ENAC, and covers all the centres of the Fundación Universitaria San Pablo CEU, as well as Universitat Abat Oliba CEU. We have accordingly become the first educational and university institution in Spain to obtain the UNE 19601:2017 certification of its criminal compliance management system by Bureau Veritas.

As an institution committed to society, we consider it essential to apply criteria of transparency and good governance in the daily management of the institution and our centres. Therefore, possession of this certificate underlines CEU's commitment at the highest level to regulatory compliance, exemplary behaviour and the involvement of all employees in preventing the commission of offences within the institution and, at the same time, reduces our exposure to the risk of legal proceedings.

This certificate, issued by the Bureau Veritas certification body, the world's leading independent certification, inspection and testing organization, is accredited by ENAC, and covers all Fundación Universitaria San Pablo CEU’s centres as well as the Universitat Abat Oliba CEU.

In the words of José Félix Pareja de Lerma, Director of Internal Audit at the Fundación Universitaria San Pablo CEU, "Our institution was created with the aim of providing information about its teaching, research and management activities, fulfilling its commitment to be accountable to society and promoting a culture of transparency and modernisation of university administration. Obtaining this certificate is further proof of our unwavering commitment to regulatory compliance. Exemplarity is a fundamental pillar for us: we care about what we do and how we do it and this was the natural next step to implement”.

Pedro González, Director of Corporate Governance Certification at Bureau Veritas, commented that "the audit process, carried out by Bureau Veritas, has been completed with the issue of the UNE 19601:2017 certification of the CEU Group's compliance management system, confirming the correct implementation of these standardised models by the institution".
