Gather compliance area professionals, share knowledge and learn about innovative practices in the segment. These were the objectives reached with the 1st Compliance Meeting with Transpetro Clients and Vendors. Held at the beginning of June via Webinar, the event had over 400 attendees and included lecturers from partner companies.
Transpetro Services Director, Luiz Eduardo Valente, opened the event. According to him, compliance culture is only reached when all persons involved are knowledgeable of the Ethical Conduct Code and conduct standards, which serve as guidelines and act as barriers to prevent undesired situations of rules violations. “Meetings such as this are very important because we don’t attain results by ourselves. We are not an island, but a community working together. For this reason the rules and conduct must be compatible among the company, its vendors and its clients so the end result delivered to society is the best possible”, he stated.
For Tude Brum, Tranpetro’s General Manager for Governance and Compliance, it is of strategic importance for companies to maintain compliance and integrity policies since they strengthen the business and generate savings. “At Transpetro we have an integrated structure that encompasses corporate governance, compliance, ombudsman, legal, internal audit, ethics commission, disciplinary measures commission, and statutory audit committee, in addition to management training. By promoting this type of event, we want to encourage our partners of various scopes and activities to maintain a compliance structure, always adapted to their reality”, he declared.
Among the invited companies that made presentations were Nova Transportadora do Sudeste (NTS), which introduced several innovative and creative communication initiatives for compliance; Orizon Valorização de Resíduos, which contributed the experience of strengthening governance and the Integrity Program in the company’s public offering, with compliance as a competitive differential; Mapfre Seguros Gerais, which highlighted some compliance practices in the insurance market and advanced controls geared towards preventing money laundering; and BR Distribuidora, which detailed the revision of the Ethical Conduct Code after its privatization.
Tude brought the Webinar to a close by highlighting the fact there is no more room for the “Brazilian way of doing things” culture, responsible for preventing companies from conducting safer business practices. “Ethics is training. We need to create and strengthen responsible networks in compliance so the corporate culture always changes for the better. There is no more space for companies without compliance”, he concluded.
