Key Compliance Projects (2021
Integrity Guardians
In 2021, the engagement of the Integrity Guardians program promoted the Culture of Integrity through four missions, significantly increasing the reach and success of the group’s Compliance projects. The project now features 42 guardians from various MRV&CO areas and departments, and they are true Compliance references in 21 cities. In 2022, the goal is to expand the program and its results to strengthen the culture of always doing the right thing in the multiple contexts involving the group’s operations.

Ethical Perception Survey
The project began in 2020 and went on with two other surveys in 2021. Our employees shared their perception of the integrity culture, and we were able to measure the assimilation of ethical issues and identify strengths and weak points that need improvement. We collected 2,313 responses in the second round of EPS, and 3,356 respondents participated in the third one. In addition to the growth in participation, the results showed considerable improvements in the indicators, attesting to the maturity of MRV&CO’s integrity culture.
This campaign aims to clarify to our employees what harassment is (and what it is not), provide guidance on how to act in the event of such an incident, and reinforce the importance of reporting to the Confidential Channel. It featured the streaming of a live educational event on how to combat harassment, with the participation of an expert on the subject and more than 3,000 views. A video by the CEO was also published, reaffirming our commitment to not accept nor allow any act of moral or sexual harassment in the workplace. This information is available in the “Combating Harassment” subsection of our Code of Conduct and can be accessed by all employees and the general public.
Annual Campaign for the Statement of Ties
This project aims to optimize the process of declaring institutional ties between employees and other employees, suppliers, or public agents, as well as parallel activities. Previously, this was required only for employees with formal relationships by opening a call through the Talk to Compliance channel. Now, the Statement of Ties is annual, and the participation of all is of immense value to ensure compliance with the Code of Conduct and prevent/avoid conflicts of interest.
