Ethics, transparency, and corporate governance are essential pillars for any company seeking sustainable growth. This premise is the basis of Asia Shipping's Integrity Program, the largest logistics integrator in Latin America, which for the second consecutive year publishes its Integrity Report, highlighting the main practices and annual achievements in compliance and governance to ensure increasingly safe and responsible operations. The company highlights, among the results of this edition, the achievement of the Clean Company Certification, with memberships in the Business Pact for Integrity and Against Corruption (and the seal awarded by the Ethos Institute), and the Brazil Pact for Business Integrity, which aligns the company with the best practices of the CGU – Office of the Comptroller General of Brazil, reinforcing its public commitment to business ethics and transparency.
Integrity metrics
Demonstrating its commitment to integrity, through this survey, Asia Shipping proved a 93% compliance rate in one of the main indicators of good ethical practices – reinforcing its actions aligned with corporate responsibility – and the handling of 1,483 requests through the compliance Helpdesk channel. Throughout 2024, a total of 978 documents were analyzed to ensure compliance, and 77.36% was the risk mitigation rate, demonstrating significant performance in identifying and resolving potential threats to organizational integrity and compliance.
"Compliance demonstrated through the main ethical guidelines provided by the CGU in terms of integrity reflects the commitment to the implementation and continuous monitoring of the company's initiatives. Regulatory compliance not only strengthens stakeholder trust but also ensures that the organization operates ethically and in line with market best practices, promoting a more transparent and secure business environment," says Alexandro Ferreira, Compliance Manager at Asia Shipping.
For Alexandre Pimenta, CEO of Asia Shipping, the company's Code of Ethics, combined with compliance policies, reinforces the organization's commitment to fair and transparent practices. "Through our Ethics Channel, for example, we ensure a safe space for employees and partners to report any situation that goes against our principles, with the certainty that each case will be handled with seriousness and impartiality," he says.
The integrity journey is not just a company's commitment, but a reflection of each employee's daily work. "The success of our Integrity Program is the result of the commitment of everyone who is part of Asia Shipping," comments the CEO.
If 2024 was marked by significant achievements such as risk mitigation, efficient compliance request handling, and regulatory compliance, Asia Shipping's goal for 2025 is to advance in more training to reinforce the integrity culture, strengthen communication and compliance channels, and continuously monitor best practices and regulations.
