Preventing money laundering and terrorist financing in the insurance markets

Horiens is committed to acting ethically, with integrity and transparency, and an important part of this process is to ensure the continuous recycling of the knowledge of its members regarding the prevention of operations that seek to incorporate goods, rights and values that originate from or are linked to illegal acts into the national economy.

To this end, in July the company completed a training program for its entire team, focused on the Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (PLD | FT) and taught by the National Insurance School (ENS).

“To prevent money laundering, the name given to disguising the origin of funds obtained illegally, it is important to train our eyes on where the risks are in the sector in which we operate,” says Laudelino Soares, officer responsible for PLD | FT at Horiens.

“That’s why we train and certify all our staff in a structured way, with the support of ENS, delving into legal and regulatory issues, concepts and history involving this agenda, responsibilities, as well as addressing the guidelines contained in our guiding documentation,” he adds.

In order to act in accordance with the world’s best practices and in compliance with current laws, Horiens has a PLD | FT Policy, as well as a Code of Conduct, an Ethics Line channel and an Integrity System that is broken down into 10 measures that underpin the company’s culture of prevention.
