In the current macroeconomic and social context in which we are inserted, it is undoubtedly a challenge for all companies to take up a standard of conduct that covers all stakeholders and goes beyond the strict perspective of economic/business activity, but based on a strong sense of social and ethical responsibility, as well as recognition and accountability for the impact that the exercise of their activity causes on the whole environment.
FUTURE COMPTA is a private entity that operates in the IT market and recognizes the need to assert itself as a socially responsible organization, guided by principles of respect for the general interest and sustainable growth.
The recommended values are guided by the adoption of irreprehensible ethical behaviors and serve reference to employees, customers, suppliers and the community in general.
Every day we defend and promote principles of rigour, honesty, integrity, transparency and correct information, equal opportunities, environmental conservation and social responsibility.
This Code of Ethics/Conduct is an instrument for the dissemination of these values, as well as the ethical principles and standards of conduct to FUTURE COMPTA globally and its employees, in particular, are subject and assume as intrinsically theirown.
Thus, it is intended to:
– Make known unequivocally to all stakeholders (employees, customers, suppliers and community in general) the values recommended, lived and demanded by FUTURE COMPTA;;
– Guide the conduct/attitude of intra-company employees, as well as in the relationship with other stakeholders (shareholders, legal and regulatory entities, competitors, customers, suppliers and with society in general).
– Reinforce the ethical standards of action/conduct of the group as a whole by establishing a pillar of the social responsibility policy developed followed by FUTURE COMPTA.
In accordance with its culture of transparency, authenticity and openness, the FUTURE COMPTA group provides the Future COMPTACode of Ethics/Conduct and SocialResponsibility, reinforcing the optimization of trust relationships between all.
Our code of ethics/conduct provides for full alignment with all applicable legal laws and regulations that cover us (whether national and European), so any violation identified and duly confirmed to these standards is likely to entail the clearance of responsibilities of offenders in the terms and legal standards applicable to the situation.
The principles recommended in this instrument were defined in accordance with the provisions of international standards (ILO – International Labour Organization).
