The National Anticorruption Strategy 2020–2024 (ENCC), together with the priorities guiding the national vision for corruption prevention, is established under Decree-Law No. 109-E/2021, published on December 9. This legislation establishes the National Anticorruption Mechanism (MENAC) and the General Regime for the Prevention of Corruption (RGPC).
The RGPC provides that all companies, whether public or private, operating in Portugal, having 50 or more employees – as well as branches of companies with head offices located abroad – adopt and implement a regulatory compliance program that includes, at a minimum:
As part of its permanent commitment to conducting business with integrity, ethics, and transparency, OGMA has developed a comprehensive Ethics & Compliance Program. This program provides for compliance with national and international legislation and is the basis for responsible sustainable corporate behavior.
The PPR is an essential component of this program. It is the result of a thorough assessment of OGMA’s operations, identifying and classifying the risk factors that may expose OGMA to acts of corruption and related offenses. The plan also describes existing internal controls to mitigate such risks and defines a set of opportunities for improvement with the aim of strengthening our compliance framework.
We invite all stakeholders — employees, suppliers, partners, customers and potential customers, regulators, and public in general — to review our Plan for the Prevention of Risks of Corruption and Related Offenses. This document is a key management tool that reflects our determination to continuously enhance Ethics & Compliance practices at OGMA.
