Anti-Corruption Policy
The present Anti-Corruption Policy was created with the aim of ensuring the PMI Group's commitment to maintaining the highest standards of transparency and ethics in all its activities. The PMI Group has implemented a compliance program in accordance with Brazilian laws, as well as foreign laws that establish international corporate conduct standards, such as the United States' Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and the United Kingdom's UK Bribery Act.
The Group's compliance program reflects its zero-tolerance policy regarding any illegal practices by its employees, including its directors and advisors, or by any individual or institution representing or acting on its behalf. This same "Zero Tolerance" principle is now reflected by the PMI Group through this Anti- Corruption Policy.
The Anti-Corruption Policy is an essential part of the PMI Group's compliance program, reflecting the Group's senior management commitment to ensuring compliance with its activities and establishing the internal rules that must be followed by employees, representatives, and affiliates of the Group when acting on its behalf.
The Anti-Corruption Policy also serves as a guide for identifying and addressing problematic, conflicting, or even illegal situations.
The Anti-Corruption Policy is an annex to the Group's Code of Ethical Conduct and must be read and applied in conjunction with the principles and rules established in the aforementioned Code and in its other policies and procedures.
As important as following the ethical conduct and anti-corruption standards is the responsibility to not overlook violations of the Group's Code of Ethical Conduct and this Policy. If you have any doubts, please contact the Compliance Department.
