\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

For any reason or circumstance, are in a condition or situation that raises legitimate concern that contracting may not occur under market conditions. <\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Compliance (adherence of the services provided to the contractual terms and responsibilities adopted by the Company, as well as appropriate information security controls);<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Transactions between related parties must be formalized in writing, specifying their main terms and characteristics, such as contracting method, pricing, deadlines, guarantees and key rights and obligations.<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

4.10. GIFTS, PRESENTS, MEALS AND ENTERTAINMENT\n<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

As a general rule, we neither receive nor offer gifts.<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Providing gifts and granting hospitality (meals, travel, entertainment) is often considered a form of courtesy and is common in the day-to-day business practices of companies in many countries. However, anti-corruption laws prohibit offering or giving anything of value, including gifts and hospitality to third parties, in order to obtain improper advantages or unduly influence the actions of an authority.<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Offering small personal gifts is often part of local culture. The Company has established a maximum value of up to US$100 (one hundred U.S. dollars) for gifts or presents, provided they do not interfere with the other party\u2019s business decision-making process.<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Receiving gifts, presents, favors or anything of value or utility that could even create the appearance of improper conduct or potentially influence the Company\u2019s business decisions is prohibited. <\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

The receipt by any Company member of money, goods or services offered by third parties (even through raffles or contests), in any context directly or indirectly related to their activities within the Company, is strictly prohibited regardless of value. Conducting business during a meal is customary worldwide. <\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

A meal may be offered to third parties without prior approval, provided that all of the following conditions are met:\n\nThe value is equivalent to a normal business meal according to local standards (expensive beverages and refined dishes\/delicacies should be avoided);<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

In general, business meals do not include the guest\u2019s spouse or other accompanying guests. In exceptional cases, such as spontaneous invitations during unplanned meetings (for example, at a business fair or conference organized by third parties), accompanying persons may be invited if excluding them would be considered inappropriate;\n<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

If the proposed guest has the ability to influence government or business decisions, only meals directly related to a necessary meeting or business activity may be offered, within the limits established in the expense reimbursement policy and subject to approval through the meal offering form according to delegation of authority rules;<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Invitations to external events (travel, gatherings, training sessions, relationship-building events), as well as sponsorship of corporate events for Employees, may only be accepted when they are in the Company\u2019s interest, must be communicated to the director for assessment, and reported to the Compliance area;\n<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Donations or sponsorships are not permitted unless approved in accordance with the delegation of authority policy, the Bylaws and applicable legislation.\n<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t
