Compliance
Compliance Program
IACIT reaffirms its support for an ethical conduct and the fight against corruption in business, acting in accordance with the legislation in force in Brazil and in the other countries with which it maintains commercial relations, as well as with its internal principles and rules.
The compliance program establishes the anti-corruption procedures and conducts that IACIT must adopt in accordance with Law No. 12,846, 2013.
It defines actions aimed at the prevention, detection, and correction of acts against public administration—whether national or foreign. Preventive measures include, for example, procedures for hiring third parties and training to managers and employees who contact suppliers or customers. It aims to ensure the effective application of the code of ethics, to implement internal mechanisms and procedures for integrity, auditing and encouraging people to report irregularities and illegal acts practiced by employees and representatives of the company.
With the Compliance Program, IACIT provides its employees, partners, third parties, and customers with a Channel for sending suspicious reports of fraud and acts of corruption, ensuring anonymity and complete confidentiality of information.
