In this sense, it is a signatory of the Business Pact for Integrity and Against Corruption, promoted by the Ethos Institute. A movement to bring together companies with the aim of promoting a more integral and ethical market and eradicating bribery and corruption.
At 3corações, integrity is part of who we are. It is present in all our actions, since the foundation of the company. Acting with ethics, transparency, responsibility, and honesty is a behavior that we encourage in everyone we interact with. By practicing this, we are not only doing what is right, but also reinforcing the solid foundation upon which we have built our history. See the conduct we adopt as part of who we are and also expect from our business partners.
Just as we respect our intellectual property, we also safeguard the intellectual property of third parties. We require our suppliers to adopt the best labor practices, comply with the law, pay taxes, and promote a healthy environment.
We do not tolerate deviations of any nature, financial, of a product unit, gift, or sample, for one's own benefit or that of third parties. These cases will be dealt with in accordance with the law. Below are our guidelines for business partners.
Letter of Conduct
Our way of being
Companies usually formalize their values and principles in a document called Code of Ethics. At 3corações, we prefer to call it the Conduct Charter, because we believe that ethics is in our essence, in the heart of people and the company.
The Conduct Charter is a manifestation of our essence, which shows us how we should act with all those who relate to us, ensuring that our decisions will always be made looking at the same time, for the growth of our business, social justice, and environmental protection.
Our Conduct Charter is our foundation as a socially responsible company. By signing it, the senior management of the 3corações Group has committed to its dissemination and compliance.
In 2017, 3corações consolidated its Anti-Corruption Policy, endorsed by the Board of Directors. The Policy is integral part of employment contracts, contracts with suppliers and in our Letter of Conduct. We do not accept corruption or bribe payments, do not admit deviations of any kind and do not accept anyone to use their position in the company for personal favors and services.
Our relationship with the government is based on the Letter of Conduct, in which we claim the company's sales and profits are the result of honest work and are entirely within the Law. The documentation of all transactions with duly paid taxes ensures that all the company's activities also generate the best social outcomes.
The relationship of 3corações with its suppliers is based on a transparent and respectful partnership stated in the Letter of Conduct: just as we respect our intellectual property, we also care for the intellectual property of third parties. We demand our suppliers adopt the best labor practices, obey the law, collect taxes and promote a healthy environment. 3corações Group also applies a series of general contracting conditions for entering into legal business.
