Integrity

For Aliança Energia, integrity is non-negotiable. This value is the foundation of all the organization’s operations and practices.

The Aliança Energia Integrity Program was implemented in 2015 and is continually enhanced to reflect this value. It consists of a set of internal mechanisms and procedures for integrity and encouragement to report irregularities, and the effective application of the Code of Ethics and Conduct, internal policies, and guidelines. Its objective is to prevent, detect, and remedy misconduct, fraud, irregularities, and unlawful acts, as well as to foster and maintain a culture of integrity in the organizational environment. In addition, it seeks to reduce the risks inherent to interactions with Public Agencies, offers of gifts and hospitality, sponsorships, donations, accounting controls, hiring of third parties, mergers and acquisitions, conflicts of interest, among other related topics.

The preparation of the program followed the parameters and guidelines established in Law No. 12,846/13, Decree No. 11,129/2022, CGU Ordinance 909/15, ISO 37301:2021 – Compliance Management System, and other methodologies and best practices in corporate governance.

The Integrity Program applies to all Aliança Energia personnel, including directors, officers, employees, interns, apprentices, and temporary workers. It also covers service providers, suppliers, distributors, consultants, representatives, agents, brokers, and any other intermediaries or third parties engaged to represent Aliança Energia or act on its behalf, for its benefit or interest.

Thus, regardless of hierarchical or functional level, all personnel must commit to and observe Aliança Energia’s Integrity Program to promote performance grounded in ethics, integrity, and transparency, and avoid any unlawful acts, deviations, fraud, and/or irregularities in the company’s activities.

The supervision and monitoring of the program are carried out by the Compliance Department, which is independent, has its own resources to perform its functions, and is composed of the following members:

Risk and Compliance Manager
Senior Compliance Analyst
Compliance Consultant

To ensure independence and authority in conducting actions across all areas of Aliança Energia, the Compliance Department reports to the company’s Internal Integrity Committee, the Audit and Risk Committee, and the Board of Directors.

Ethics and Ombudsman Channel

Aliança Energia has a specific Ethics and Ombudsman Channel to receive questions about the Integrity Program and/or complaints of possible suspicion of acts contrary to the principles and guidelines of the organization, including, but not limited to, the program. Aliança Energia’s Ethics and Ombudsman Channel is one of the main control and effectiveness mechanisms of the Integrity Program and enables the detection of illicit acts and/or violations of the company’s internal guidelines and standards, allowing the treatment and remediation of confirmed reports.

To ensure the effectiveness and independence of the process of receiving complaints, the Ethics and Ombudsman Channel is managed by an external, independent and specialized company and can be accessed directly through the intranet, website or by calling 0800 941 9007, all of which are accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All complaints made in our Ethics Channel can be made anonymously or identified. In the case of an identified complaint, the identity of the complainant will be preserved and kept confidential.

In addition, the Ethics and Ombudsman Channel has a humanized service and allows the whistleblower to choose to be served by a woman at the time of making the complaint. This approach seeks to make the complainant more comfortable and promotes the reception of victims of moral or sexual harassment.

Reports received are investigated and dealt with in accordance with the Investigation and Handling of Complaints and Application of Disciplinary Measures Policy and Complaint Management Standard. Confidentiality, secrecy of information and non-retaliation are ensured.
