Joaquim José Heitor, S.A. has a Code of Ethics and Conduct, which enshrines a set of principles, rules, and values regarding ethics and professional behavior that must be adopted by all company employees, both internally and externally, fostering an environment of integrity, efficiency, transparency, and rigor.

The Code is intended for all Administrators, employees, and Other Company Representatives, and it is also incumbent upon all these employees not only to know and internalize, institutionally implement, and externally defend the Code, but also to promote the application of its rules by third parties within the scope and execution of the relationships they maintain with any company entities.

Consult Code of Ethics and Conduct

Joaquim José Heitor, S.A. has implemented a Corruption Risk Prevention Plan (CRPP). This plan was developed considering the company's realities and aims to identify and classify risks and situations that may expose the company to acts of corruption and related offenses, as well as to establish and implement a set of measures and procedures based on the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Policy, the Social Responsibility Policy, and the Code of Ethics and Conduct. This is intended to more effectively and demonstrably ensure compliance with the law and internal regulations, reducing the likelihood of occurrence and the impact of identified risks and situations, thereby contributing to a climate of integrity and ethical culture in the development of Joaquim José Heitor, S.A.'s activities.

Thus, this Plan applies to the company and its employees, as well as other individuals who, regardless of their legal-functional relationship, provide work or services to it, and constitutes a fundamental management tool that strengthens and consolidates procedures and mechanisms for the prevention and detection of corruption and related offenses.

Annually, the Prevention and Risk Plan is evaluated regarding the degree of implementation of preventive and corrective measures, along with the main activities developed under the General Anti-Corruption Regime.
