Structure
In order to ensure that the Ethics and Compliance
Program operates properly and the emerging risks
are identified and controlled, we carry out evaluations
on a regular and frequent basis, which have no fixed
periodicity and are triggered by the latent risk and in
view of the identified need. The Ethics and Compliance
Department is structured on three pillars, mainly
focused on identifying, monitoring and preventing risks:
I. Contractual Compliance
In order to ensure the highest level of integrity in its
businesses, AES has established a Contract Compliance
Program to get to know its Business Partners in regard
H
to their reputation and gain their commitment, through
specific legal clauses, to behave in an ethical and
transparent manner, as well as in accordance with the
anti-corruption legislation.
Thus, the Contract Compliance Process aims to evaluate
the Compliance risk of the transaction to be analyzed,
establish the applicable due diligence proceedings,
include the appropriate Compliance Clause in the
contract in question and gain approval from the Ethics
and Compliance Department for hiring a business
partner whenever necessary.
II. Training and Communication
In order to disseminate our message of ethics and
integrity, as well as increase awareness about the
policies and proceedings of the Ethics and Compliance
Department, we have invested in training for both
internal and external stakeholders and communication
on our internal networks and social media.
"Minuto Compliance" is a monthly newsletter released
on our internal channels, about Compliance policies
and their application in day-to-day work. Messages
from the senior management are released on our social
media to disseminate among employees, customers
and suppliers the importance of transparency in
business and the ethics and integrity in our day-to-day
operations.
As for training, our Ethics and Compliance Department
operates with an agenda focused on employees and
suppliers involved in agreements rated as high risk in
terms of ethics, integrity and best practices.
In 2022, we provided training on Conflicts of
