Code of Conduct

To reinforce an ethical and responsible business posture, this Code of Ethics must guide all our decisions and actions. Everyone in the company is responsible not only for their own conduct, but also for promoting a culture aligned with our Code of Ethics and applicable laws.

Ombudsman Channel

This is an exclusive Gráfica Forma Certa channel for secure and, if desired, anonymous communication, available to clients, employees, suppliers and business partners. Through it, you can report conduct considered unethical or that violates the company’s ethical principles and standards of conduct.

Data Protection

A well-functioning whistleblowing channel relies on the confidentiality of all information obtained here. We reiterate that its purpose is to investigate possible unethical conduct and thereby ensure a safe, professional environment for reporting, with guaranteed anonymity and confidentiality.
