Horiens promotes integrity training for its teams

Throughout the month of June, Horiens held an internal training session on its compliance program, made up of 10 integrated measures focused on the prevention, detection and remediation of risks and deviations.

“Compliance is a non-negotiable issue, which is why we made a point of promoting a face-to-face training opportunity. In this way, we open up space for questions and also for debate, which is always very rich,” says Marcelo Neves, CEO of Horiens, who opened all the classes of this training, in an open conversation, with important messages on the subject.

Horiens has an Integrity Policy, a Code of Conduct and an Ethics Line channel. Together, these tools form the foundation of a culture focused on prevention and provide the mechanisms for acting ethically, with integrity and transparency.

“Periodically, we try to provide spaces for dialogue to talk about compliance, as well as to reinforce these normative instruments with our members, who are responsible on a day-to-day basis for Horiens’ performance in compliance with the law and with best market practices,” says Luiz Fernando da Costa Palaio, Compliance Officer at Horiens.

At the end of the training, all the members signed a “Pact for Ethical, Honest and Transparent Action” reaffirming their individual commitment:

• Fighting and not tolerating corruption in any of its forms
• Saying no, firmly and decisively, to business opportunities that conflict with this commitment
• Adopt ethical, honest and transparent principles in dealings with public and private agents
• Never invoke cultural or customary market conditions as a justification for improper actions
• Ensure transparency in the information about Horiens, which must be accurate, comprehensive, accessible and disseminated on a regular basis
• Be aware that misconduct, whether by action, omission or complacency, harms society, breaks the law and destroys the image of the whole of Horiens.
• Ensure that the Compliance System is always up to date with the best references at Horiens and throughout the Business value chain.
• Contribute individually and collectively to the necessary changes in markets and environments where misconduct may occur
• Incorporate performance evaluation in compliance with the Compliance System into the Members’ Action Programs.
• Having the conviction that our Survival, Growth and Perpetuity depend on this Commitment
