Committed to ethics, transparency and the highest governance standards in all our operations.
Ourofino Animal Health is committed to conducting its business without resorting to any unlawful conduct or obtaining improper advantages, establishing open and transparent ways to inspire, undertake, connect, collaborate and do business, while also building and nurturing relationships in the generation of shared value.
For this reason, the company has an integrity program and adopts the highest standards of corporate governance and conduct, guided by compliance with legislation.
At Ourofino, we believe integrity is the foundation of a solid and reliable organization. Our commitment to ethics and transparency is present in every decision, action and interaction, guiding our governance practices and our relationship with stakeholders.
It is in this spirit that we present our Integrity Practices, a set of initiatives that reflect our commitment to compliance, risk prevention and the promotion of a responsible and ethical corporate environment. From strengthening our Compliance Program by obtaining relevant certifications such as the Mais Integridade Seal and Pró-Ética, to joining global initiatives such as the Transparency Movement 100%, we constantly seek to improve our processes and ensure that the highest integrity standards are observed across all our operations.
We invite you to learn more about the actions we have implemented to reinforce our culture of integrity, protecting our values and contributing to a fairer and more sustainable business environment.
The Governance, Risk, Compliance and Internal Audit (GRC&AI) area is responsible for conducting the ethics and compliance agenda within the Ourofino Group's operations. The department has full independence within the company and reports directly to the Statutory Audit Committee (CAE), an independent body linked directly to the Board of Directors.
The Compliance function, with full support from the Executive Committee and Senior Leadership, is responsible for coordinating and ensuring the continuous improvement of our Integrity Program, whose main objectives are to spread a culture of ethics and transparency applicable to all employees, executives and members of senior management.
The GRC&AI area currently comprises an internal structure with one manager and a team of 6 employees, and also relies on external consulting support to carry out part of the internal audit work plan.
Ourofino's integrity program is built on 7 pillars, aimed at promoting and ensuring organizational compliance with laws, regulations and ethical standards, as well as fostering a transparent and ethical corporate culture. This program is grounded in the creation of policies and procedures, the ongoing identification and assessment of legal risks, and the implementation of robust internal controls and the promotion of collective responsibility for corporate integrity.
The Ourofino Group's Code of Conduct plays a vital role in conducting ethical and socially responsible business operations. Approved by the Company's Board of Directors, it establishes clear standards of behavior for employees, suppliers, business partners and other stakeholders.
As part of our Third-Party Management Program, we have a Supplier Code of Conduct, through which we encourage our suppliers of goods and services to adopt honest conduct aligned with the same principles.
Initiatives, certifications and seals that reinforce our commitment to integrity, ethics and transparency.
Since 2020, Ourofino has been part of the Business Pact for Integrity and Against Corruption, organized by the Ethos Institute for Business and Social Responsibility. Signatory companies commit to being diligent regarding full compliance with Brazilian Anti-Corruption Law.
Since 2021, our compliance and integrity practices have held the Agro Mais Integridade Seal certification. This recognition is granted by MAPA (Brazil's Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply) and requires the submission of a comprehensive sustainability report aligned with at least 2 of the UN 2030 Agenda's 17 SDGs.
In 2023, Ourofino was awarded the 2022-2023 Pró-Ética Company Seal by Brazil's Office of the Comptroller General (CGU). This certification validates and attests to the effectiveness of the corporate governance and compliance practices we have implemented, highlighting our commitment to preventing and combating corruption.
In 2023, we joined the Transparency Movement 100%, Brazil's first corporate transparency initiative, launched by the UN Global Compact Network Brazil. The movement encourages companies to go beyond legal obligations, strengthening transparency, integrity and anti-corruption mechanisms.
We are committed to maintaining an honest environment free of irregularities. That's why we provide our employees, partners and third parties with an ethics hotline, through which you can report any fact that is inconsistent with our Code of Conduct, the law, our values, acts of corruption, fraud and other irregularities set out in Brazilian Law No. 12,846/2013.
We have clearly established in our internal policies and practices that no retaliation or punishment will be tolerated against whistleblowers who file good-faith reports.
The channel is operated by an independent and fully impartial company, which guarantees the secrecy and confidentiality of your reports.
Reports are received by Ourofino's Ethics Committee, and can be tracked through the Ethics Hotline via the Contato Seguro platform.
