Below is a list of our main Ethics & Compliance guidelines:
We operate in a transparent, safe and responsible manner — free from conflicts of interest and consistent with our values.
This procedure defines how to identify and manage situations where personal interests may conflict with OGMA’s interests. All individuals — including board members and third parties — must report potential or actual conflicts.
Employees and board members are aware that they must report any:
• Personal investments or transactions with any OGMA supplier, competitor or customer;
• Personal relationships with friends or relatives working in the company;
• Close personal relationship with public authorities;
• External interests that may affect objectivity or performance.
Verification of conflict of interest may also be required:
• Before hiring or promoting an employee;
• Upon designation of board members;
• Before internal transfers between departments.
Failure to report conflicts of interest may result in disciplinary action, or in the case of board members, dismissal by the General Assembly after consultation with the Compliance Department and Embraer Audit & Risk Committee (CARE).
We understand that offering and receiving gifts or hospitality is part of many business cultures. However, OGMA has clear procedures in place to provide guidance on the acceptability of such practices. In general, gifts or hospitality may be received or offered if:
• They are not intended to improperly influence decisions;
• They are not related to active contracts or regulatory decisions;
• They are of reasonable value and not offered excessively;
• They are never in cash or equivalent (e.g., gift cards).
