Joan Laporta's

board

continues to incorporate new signings. In this case, the entity has announced the arrival at the club, next Monday, of the sister of the top Barcelona leader,

Maite Laporta

, who will take charge of a newly created area: Inclusion and Diversity. Under the direct supervision, in this case, of

Xavier Mas

, the new Chief Compliance Officer of the Barcelona entity. From this new area, the entity wishes to ensure that Barça is a club that works for inclusion and cultural, functional, generational and gender diversity within the Barça collective itself.

To make this incorporation possible, some nuances have had to be introduced in the club's latest Code of Ethics, promoted by

Sandro Rosell

.

Until a few weeks ago, this prevented "hiring labor or commercial relatives, up to a fourth degree of consanguinity or affinity, either personally or through companies in which they participate or work."

Club sources point out that

the nuances are intended to adapt the extremely restrictive text to the regulations of the Generalitat

.

Especially after detecting that said Code of Ethics has not been fully respected and that, under its application, two presidents have resigned: Sandro Rosell himself and

Josep Maria Bartomeu

.

"Compare candidates"

The new text continues to reflect that it is not allowed "to contract labor or commercial relatives, ascending or descending, either personally or through companies in which they participate or work", but it

introduces the following caveat: "Unless the professional solvency of the person to contract, as well as their merits and conditions are contrasted and justify the objective convenience of hiring that person instead of another »

.

In that case, according to the new wording, “it will be necessary to establish a comparison with two more candidates and a report / conclusion that will be submitted to the vote of the Board of Directors, which will vote on whether or not to hire the person corresponding to the abstention. of the manager who, where appropriate, may present a relationship or any other cause of incompatibility ".

From Barça it is pointed out that the incorporation of Maite Laporta to this new area of ​​Inclusion and Diversity has the full approval of the Chief Compliance Officer himself, Xavier Mas, of whom his complete independence with respect to the club has been stressed at all times. .

The professional career of the sister of the top Barça leader

has been closely linked to commercial and personnel management and includes spending time in various companies related to the world of communication and even Deutsche Bank

.

In the last electoral process, she was also responsible for coordinating the

Estimem Barça

candidacy

, led by a Laporta who returned to the club's presidency on March 7.
