ETHICS & INTEGRITY
Radix was founded in April 2010 by Luiz Eduardo Ganem Rubião, João Chachamovitz, Geraldo Rochocz, Flavio Guimarães, Maurício Miele, Alexander Clausbruch, Flávio Waltz and Paulo Armando. Since the beginning of our activities, we have won important awards, such as Best Companies to Work for in Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, TI & Telecom and Latin America and certifications that differentiate us from the others, such as ISOs 9001, 14001, 14064 e 27001.
​
In 2015, Sotreq, one of the largest dealers of Caterpillar products in the country, became a partner in the company.
​
Allied to the constant search for growth and results, Radix is a company highly committed to ethics and integrity. Unfortunately, corruption is a social and cultural problem in the World, which ends up having repercussions in the corporate environment, and it is up to everyone – the State, civil society and the private sector – to adopt measures to fight this evil.
Radix is aware of its role as an ally of the State, assuming the public and voluntary commitment to all sectors of society to adopt and disseminate practices and measures to fight corruption inside and outside the company.
​
In this context, since 2015, we have an Integrity Program which is a set of mechanisms adopted by Radix to prevent, detect and respond to the practice of corruption, fraud and other related offenses. As a result of this mission, Radix, in five consecutive editions, was recognized as a Pro-Ethics Company by the The Office of the Comptroller General of the Brazilian Federal Government.
​
The Program is led by the Ethics Committee, a collegiate body responsible for disseminating the Program's guidelines and addressing potential ethical violations, and by the Compliance Officer, responsible for managing its main actions. We also rely on the performance of our Compliance Champions, who act as multipliers of Integrity and Ethics within Radix. Furthermore, the Program has the continuous and unrestricted support of the company's Top Management.
​
Since its inception, Radix's Integrity Program has been benchmarked against national and international laws and best practices, particularly the Brazilian Anti-Corruption Law (Law No. 12,846/2013), the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), and the UK Bribery Act (UKBA). Beyond countering corruption and fraud, the compliance mechanisms implemented at Radix are also capable of addressing other offenses, such as moral and sexual harassment, money laundering, and anti-competitive practices. ​

Integrity Channels:
The Doubt Channel and the Reporting Channel are integral parts of our Compliance Program, serving as important tools to combat any type of irregularity within the Radix environment, particularly acts of corruption and fraud. 
​
Through the Doubt Channel, anyone can submit questions, concerns, and suggestions related to our Code of Conduct and Ethics, as well as other in-house Compliance rules, regarding how to act when facing day-today work dilemmas. Examples of inquiries include:  ​
What is a Public Agent? 
-
How should I conduct myself while interacting with a Public Agent? 
-
What are the rules for receiving and offering giveaways and gifts in the Public and Private Sectors? What about paying for meals? 
-
I believe it would be beneficial for Radix to sponsor a particular project. What steps should I take? What precautions should I consider? 
-
What can be considered fraud in public bidding processes? 
The Reporting Channel serves as the means for receiving reports of alleged irregularities committed within our corporate environment or in any situation involving Radix, particularly reports related to acts of corruption as defined by Brazilian Anti-Corruption Law (Law No. 12,846/2013). Additionally, Radix fully complies with the provisions of Brazilian Anti-Corruption Decree (Decree No. 11,129/22), which regulates the Brazilian Anti-Corruption Law. 
The Reporting Channel is guided by the following values: 
-
The option to submit anonymous reports, if the whistleblower chooses; 
-
Assurance of confidentiality for the whistleblower’s identity; 
-
Protection for whistleblowers acting in good faith against retaliation, harassment, and other abusive practices; 
-
Professionalism and confidentiality in the investigation of reported facts. 
Radix is also committed to ensuring that whistleblowers can follow the progress of investigations, providing updates through the Reporting Channel’s email. 
Remember: The Integrity Channels are always available to support you! Don’t hesitate to use them. 
​
Radix is committed to transparency and ethics in business, actively working to build an environment of integrity and trust. Accordingly, we conduct our business and commercial relationships with the necessary ethical standards. 
Conduct and ethics codes
Radix is engaged in building an environment of integrity and trust to ensure our business and partnerships are consistently held to the necessary ethical standards - especially, but not exclusively, in dealings involving the public sector.
​
Radix’s Codes of Conduct and Ethics aim to convey the idea that corruption is a social and cultural issue that must be understood, prevented, combated, and punished. It is the responsibility of all - civil society, the private sector, and the government – to strive for the eradication of such practices.
Ethics Committee
Our Ethics Committee is composed of the Compliance Officer and seven additional members, including six company employees and one independent member.
