Message from the Board

Since its foundation, Skyone has sought to position itself in the market in order to be recognized as a company that is guided by ethical conduct, conducting business with integrity, respect for human beings and responsibility towards the society in which it operates.

Our Conduct Manual represents the values ​​and behaviors that we value and experience as Skyone employees. We are sure that its application will contribute to a healthy, dignified, respectful and extremely successful work environment, making it clear that our dealings with everything and everyone depend not only on what we do, but mainly on how we do it.

What is the Conduct Manual

The Conduct Manual describes the postures and positions adopted by Skyone and must guide the actions and attitudes of all employees, partners and third parties. This Manual was developed to have the weight of a Code of Ethics with the following objectives:

  • Promote the company's values, so that all employees are aware of, respect and practice them;
  • Serve as a reference for attitudes and behaviors of each employee;
  • Contribute so that corporate values ​​are respected inside and outside the company, having a differentiated look at society;
  • Facilitate the development of healthy competitiveness among competitors;
  • Add value and strengthen the company's image.

All employees, in Brazil or abroad, must act with integrity and efficiency in the search for results, incorporating the values ​​expressed in this code and obeying the internal regulations and established policies.

To facilitate its understanding and reading, the Conduct Manual is divided into 4 blocks:

1. Responsibility in the Work Environment

2. Responsibility in the Relationship with Suppliers and Customers

3. Responsibility for information, assets and corporate image

4. Responsibility and Conduct in Relation to Society

Only employees appointed to act as spokespersons are authorized to speak on behalf of Skyone.

Among the goods and assets, we can mention: equipment, installations, real estate, furniture, business plans, technical and market information, computer programs, models, working papers and documents and others that are part of the company's assets.

The appropriation or improper use of any of these assets, including their copying, sale or distribution to third parties are serious violations that may result in labor or criminal sanctions.

False, slanderous or malicious statements about colleagues, the company, business, partners, suppliers or customers may be subject to labor or criminal sanctions.

Accounting records must be prepared and monitored by those directly responsible, in compliance with the legislation, tax rules and company rules. Entries and records are the responsibility of the Controlling area.

Employees who have access to privileged information have a duty to keep them confidential, even if they no longer work for the company. The use of this information for personal benefit or that of third parties is a crime, subject to labor and criminal sanctions.

Conduct in relation to the Company

Likewise, through social actions, it seeks to actively contribute to the development of society as a whole, improving the quality of life of needy communities and reducing problems of social inequality.

The company is against any type of child labor and must make sure that its customers, partners and suppliers follow the same principle.

Skyone supports and carries out activities that help develop children in nearby communities and, whenever possible, offers learning programs to these young people.

It also seeks to maintain a relationship of respect with union entities and does not practice any type of discrimination against unionized professionals.

Donations, Sponsorships and Charities

Any and all donations, sponsorships and charities to be made in the name of Skyone must be validated by the Conduct Committee in partnership with the Marketing, Legal and People Management areas in order to evaluate the background, mission and actions of the recipient entities, avoid conflicts of interest and the benefit of entities that are not in line with current legislation.

anti-corruption provisions

Skyone Employees and Third Parties are prohibited from offering, promising, making, authorizing or providing (directly or indirectly) any undue advantage, payments (including facilitation payments), gifts or the transfer of anything of value to any person, whether an agent public or otherwise, to influence or reward any official action or decision of such person for the benefit of themselves or Skyone.

In addition to the acts mentioned in the caput, all other conduct, action or omission, that may constitute a violation of Skyone's principles and values, current legislation, in particular the Anti-Corruption Law, Administrative Improbity Law, Tender Law and Law of Money Laundering, in addition to the Penal Code in force in the country and other Laws, Decrees and Regulations that may exist on the subject.

All contracts signed with Skyone must contain an anti-corruption clause, mentioning this Conduct Manual. Whenever possible, Skyone Employees and Third Parties must be made aware of the sanctions that may arise from non-compliance with the aforementioned Laws, with the provision of objective liability based on current legislation always being highlighted. In addition to the general principles already mentioned, all interactions between employees or Third Parties and Public Agents, on behalf or for the benefit of Skyone, must be guided by the following specific principles:

I. Probity: Acts aimed at circumventing or improperly influencing Public Agents to act or remain silent contrary to the public interest must not be practiced.

II. Accuracy in language: the language in all communications with Public Agents must be as precise and technical as possible, in order to avoid misinterpretations of the topics addressed. Terms or expressions should not be used that only the people who maintain that communication are able to understand them.

III. Registration of information: whenever possible, the information exchanged with Public Agents in meetings or other meetings (face-to-face, by videoconference or through telephone calls) must be formalized in writing in the minutes and subsequently stored. In addition, these minutes must include the names of the participants in the meetings or meetings, their position, the name of the institution or body to which they are linked, the date, time and the topics that have been discussed in these meetings. Strict liability does not require proof of intent or fault.

Thus, even if the intention was not to commit an act of corruption, if the action or omission in question falls within the following hypotheses, there may be liability based on current legislation:

I. Promising, offering or giving, directly or indirectly, an undue advantage to a Public Agent, or a third person related to him.

II. Proven to finance, fund, sponsor or in any way subsidize the practice of unlawful acts provided for in current legislation.

III. Proven to use an intermediary natural or legal person to hide or disguise their real interests or the identity of the beneficiaries of the acts performed.

IV. With regard to tenders and contracts:

a) frustrate or defraud, through adjustment, combination or any other expedient, the competitive nature of a public bidding procedure;

b) prevent, disturb or defraud the performance of any act of public bidding procedure;

c) remove or seek to remove a bidder, through fraud or offering advantage of any kind;

d) defraud a public bidding process or the resulting contract;

e) create, fraudulently or irregularly, a legal entity to participate in a public bidding process or enter into an administrative contract;

f) fraudulently obtain an undue advantage or benefit from modifications or extensions of contracts entered into with the public administration, without authorization by law, in the public bidding act or in the respective contractual instruments;

g) manipulate or defraud the economic-financial balance of contracts entered into with the public administration.

V. Hindering the investigation or inspection activity of bodies, entities or Public Agents, or intervening in their performance, including within the scope of regulatory agencies and inspection bodies of the national financial system.

Interaction with public agents increases the risk of behavior falling into the above-mentioned hypotheses. In this way, all persons covered by this Policy must be aware that none of their acts may generate liability based on current legislation.

For example, the employee who promises or offers some type of benefit, such as money, meals and trips to Public Agents (public banks, public authorities, members of the Legislative Branch, etc.), with the aim of enabling them to carry out official acts more quickly or more beneficial to Skyone will violate current legislation. There will be no need to deliver the promised or offered benefit, whether due to refusal or not by the Public Agent himself, for the infraction in question to be established.

sensitive interactions

The interaction of Skyone Employees and Third Parties, especially those who carry out government relations activities, with public agents or politicians must always be guided by the guidelines of this Manual and other Skyone policies. Interactions between Employees or Third Parties and public agents, in the performance of their activities that they provide to Skyone, must be recorded and reported to Skyone's Executive Board and Compliance Officer.

Code Violations

Any violations of this Conduct Manual by Skyone Employees and Third Parties must be reported to the Conduct Committee, through the People Management area or Reporting Channel (https://denuncias.umaempresaetica.com.br), which will carry out the first evaluation of the statement.

Collaborators and Third Parties who commit the violations mentioned in this Conduct Manual may be subject to:

  • Warnings;
  • Resignation;
  • Contract termination;

In addition to the sanctions provided for in this Manual, in the event that the infractions mentioned in this Conduct Manual constitute a crime, Skyone will notify the
competent authorities and adopt the appropriate administrative or judicial measures.

Validity of the Code

The provisions of this Code shall be in force for a period of 2 (two) years, when they shall be revised.
