Anti-Corruption Policy



 
1. OBJECTIVE

The Anti-Corruption Policy aims to affirm that TNAX Synthetic Ropes, or simply TNAX, is not complicit in acts of corruption, in addition to defining the rules and guidelines based on the Brazilian Law 12.846 / 13 (Anti-Corruption Law) and other applicable legislation, to conduct all our businesses with ethics, transparency, independence, integrity and regularity aiming to ensure the credibility and image of the company.



2. TARGET AUDIENCE

This policy applies to TNAX's management, employees and third parties (customers, suppliers, sales representatives, consultants, etc.).



3. CONCEPTS

Corruption is the action or effect of corrupting, dishonest, fraudulent or illegal behavior that involves the exchange of money, values or services for one's own benefit and the alteration of the original state or characteristics of something. The most common form of corruption is bribery. Bribery means paying, offering, promising or receiving an improper benefit in order to influence someone's behavior to obtain or retain some type of business advantage. A bribe can take many forms - such as offering or delivering money or anything else of value. In fact, even common trading practices or social activities, such as giving gifts or hospitality, can constitute a bribe in certain circumstances. Illicit acts mean contradicting ethical principles in order to obtain any advantage, be it financial or not. It is an act prohibited by laws or rules.



4. PROCEDURE

Acts of corruption and bribery should not be committed to the public that involves the company, nor should they make use of intermediaries, such as agents, consultants, distributors or any other business partners for this purpose.

TNAX makes no distinction between public or private agents regarding the occurrence of acts of corruption and bribery. In this way, corruption and bribery are not tolerated, regardless of the recipient's position.



We advise personal questioning before any act that can be seen as an illegitimate practice. If the answer is affirmative, or if you are not sure if this is a legitimate practice, do not proceed with the action until you are sure that you are not engaging in an act of corruption.
