Ethics and Integrity

Our commitment

The importance of having a culture with very strong Ethics and Compliance components brings huge benefits to all of us, to our daily routine, to our company and to our stakeholders – customers, suppliers, society, public authorities, private entities, among others. This culture provides us to perform our work with more empowerment, as our Ethics and Compliance rules protect us when compliant seriously, enabling the development of solid and sustainable businesses.

Therefore, acting in compliance with these rules allows us to have more clarification about what we can do and what we can expect from everyone who interacts with us, giving more reliance and safety to our daily routine.

Since the purpose in our work is something that engages and inspires us, guaranteeing the fulfillment of our Ethics and Integrity culture is a goal to all of us without exception – after all, we are proud to dedicate a significant part of our days to a safe and respectful environment, where we are excellent citizens and make a positive contribution to society.

An exclusive channel for safe and, if desired, anonymous report of behavior that violates our Code of Conduct and Anti-Corruption and our good practices, as well as any aspects involving corruption and other irregularities defined by Law 12846/13 and other current legislation.

Internal audit

Internal Audit plays a relevant role in business and stands for good governance. Using an approach that is systematic, independent, and impartial, we foster continuous improvement of the Group’s internal control system, risk management process and corporate governance, providing regular reports to committees associated with the Board of Directors.

To promote ethics and integrity values within the Group, in 2020 we participated for the first time in an annual campaign launched by the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA), which included several actions to raise awareness about Internal Audit. The institute selects and rewards companies that stand out when it comes to promoting the audit’s importance for the business. Since 2020 our efforts ensured recognition awards by the IIA!
