Funep’s Ethical Channel is a way of expanding our commitment to transparency and ethics.

This Channel was created to comply with Law n. 12,846/2013, called the Brazilian Anti-Corruption Law, which was regulated by Decree n. 11,129/2022, which served as the basis for establishing the requirements of the ABNT NBR ISO 37001/2017 Standard, which implements, in Organizations, the Anti-Bribery Management System and the Integrity Program. The Ethical Channel allows the communication/denunciation of proven or suspected situations of the practice of illicit acts, provided for in the Law, and other unethical attitudes.

The Ethics Channel can also be used to report situations related to moral harassment, sexual harassment, and other forms of violence in the workplace, in accordance with current legislation. The information received may support, institutionally, preventive and educational actions aimed at promoting a safe and respectful work environment, in line with the practices of the Internal Commission for Accident and Harassment Prevention.

The information registered here will be treated confidentially, securely and with absolute secrecy. The Ethical Channel can be used for anonymous or identified reports, as well as for criticism and suggestions.
