Ethics, transparency, and corporate governance are essential pillars for any company seeking sustainable growth. This premise underpins the Integrity Program of Asia Shipping, the largest logistics integrator in Latin America, which for the second consecutive year publishes its Integrity Report, highlighting the main annual compliance and governance practices and achievements to ensure increasingly safe and responsible operations. Among the results of this edition, the company highlights the achievement of the Clean Company Certification, with its adherence to the Business Pact for Integrity and Against Corruption (and seal granted by the Ethos Institute), and to the Brazil Pact for Business Integrity, which aligns the company with the best practices of the CGU – the Comptroller General of the Union, 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 ethical best practices – reinforcing its performance aligned with corporate responsibility – and the handling of 1,483 requests through its compliance Helpdesk channel. Throughout 2024, a total of 978 documents were analyzed to ensure compliance, and the risk mitigation rate was 77.36%, demonstrating significant performance in identifying and resolving potential threats to organizational integrity and compliance.
“The compliance demonstrated through the main ethical guidelines provided by the CGU (Brazilian Comptroller General's Office) regarding integrity reflects the commitment to the implementation and continuous monitoring of the company's initiatives. Regulatory compliance not only strengthens stakeholder confidence but also ensures that the organization operates ethically and in line with best market 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 Hotline, for example, we guarantee a safe space for employees and partners to report any situation that goes against our principles, with the assurance that each case will be treated with seriousness and impartiality," he says.
The integrity journey is not just a company commitment, but a reflection of the daily work of each employee. "The success of our Integrity Program is a result of the dedication of everyone who is part of Asia Shipping," comments the CEO.
If 2024 was marked by important achievements, such as risk mitigation, efficient handling of compliance requests, and adherence to regulatory requirements, Asia Shipping's goal for 2025 is to advance through more training to reinforce the culture of integrity, strengthen communication and compliance channels, and continuously monitor best practices and regulations.
