The Odebrecht Group’s case for ethical transformation will be presented today, August 31st, by the holding’s Compliance leading executive, Olga Pontes, during the 91st Meeting of the Compliance Commission of Faculdade Baiana de Direito (FBD).

During the meeting, which aims at to disseminate good practices in integrity, governance and risk programs, the public will get to know the Odebrecht Group’s Compliance System, implemented in 2016 and which details how the company prevents, detects and remedies risks and misconduct.

To José Guimarães, Olga Pontes’ presentation will be important for the Commission to know, in detail, the revision of the cultural posture that the Group has implemented in the last five years. “Odebrecht is today an example of implementing an integrity, governance, and risks program. Having a nationally and internationally recognized speaker, such as Olga Pontes, consolidates a work we started in our Commission just over four years ago”, ensures Guimarães.

For the Chief Compliance Officer of Odebrecht S/A, Olga Pontes, it is important for the Brazilian company to know all commitments assumed by the Group from the transformation journey started in 2016. “Our performance is supported by a governance model that adopts the best practices and ensures Business autonomy. We have come a long way in recent years and today we have a robust and active System”, ensures Pontes.

The Odebrecht Group’s commitment to ethics, integrity and transparency is strengthened and monitored through the System, implemented since 2016 in the holding and in all business. According to the head of Communication and IR at Odebrecht S/A for the Northeast region, Marcelo Gentil, the turn of the page led by Olga from 2016, is making the Group to rewrite their history, but always preserving technical excellence and delivery capacity, attributes recognized in all countries where the company has operated.

“We are building new connections and slowly regaining the confidence of customers, suppliers, opinion leaders, public agents and the people in general. The first steps have already been taken and we are following in our path of business reconstruction”, reveals Gentil.
