Code of Ethics and Conduct
Trucks Control strives to ensure the highest level of integrity and ethics in conducting its business, always in compliance with the law. To this end, Trucks Control considers the adoption of a Code of Ethics and Conduct to be of paramount importance. This code will guide employees on the rules of conduct for all those representing Trucks Control in their dealings with public bodies, suppliers, consumers, and competitors.
This Code of Ethics and Conduct does not establish new rules; it merely formalizes the conduct already accepted and used by Trucks Control employees. The company and its employees should always strive to improve and promote the Code of Ethics and Conduct applicable to them.
Trucks Control wishes to conduct all its business in accordance with this Code; however, none of the provisions contained herein should be construed as an instruction to violate any law.
This Code of Ethics and Conduct will clearly outline the expectations regarding how Trucks Control conducts its business.
Commitment to the customer: The legitimate expectations of customers must be fully met by our products and services.
High Tech Spirit:
Employees and partners are encouraged to stay up-to-date and integrated with all types of technological advancements.
Teamwork:
Excellence is achieved only when those involved act with a sense of interdependence, using different skills for the benefit of the collective and being directly involved in decisions that impact the work they do.
Simplicity:
Simplicity facilitates communication, brings people closer together, and makes everyone's work more effective, focused, and efficient.
Freedom of Expression:
Trucks Control employees are free to perform their duties proactively and creatively, provided that responsibility and respect for human beings are preserved.
The Code of Ethics and Conduct applies to the conduct of all business carried out by Trucks Control, as well as to all employees who, in any way, represent it in the market, including third parties, apprentices and interns, consultants, temporary employees and directors.
Everyone is responsible for following this Code, understanding that failure to comply may have consequences for both the employee and the company.
Any employee or partner who violates this Code may be subject to disciplinary measures, including the risk of losing their job, or even facing criminal charges, depending on the severity of the offenses. Trucks Control, meanwhile, may be fined, face legal action and investigations, or even have its reputation damaged.
This code establishes guidelines, rules, and procedures to ensure that its recipients understand and comply with applicable anti-corruption laws in all interactions with current and future clients (from the public or private sector), public officials, civil servants, national and international suppliers, service providers, subcontractors, and partners, in any location where Trucks Control operates.
This code applies, without exception, to partners, administrators, directors, managers, employees, technical and operational teams, interns, apprentices, and outsourced workers.
Trucks Control condemns and does not tolerate any act of corruption. Therefore, all those subject to this code, without exception, must comply with and ensure that our business partners comply with local laws and other regulations prohibiting corruption wherever Trucks Control conducts business, including Law No. 12.846/2013 and the United Nations Convention against Corruption, among other national and international laws related to bribery and corruption.
It is strictly forbidden for employees, directly or indirectly, to promise, offer, or give undue advantage to a public official or body or to any third parties on behalf of Trucks Control.
In addition to money and its equivalents, the following will be considered "undue advantage": donations of products, gifts, entertainment (tickets), accommodation, meals, travel expenses, or any other tangible or intangible asset.
Small payments requested by a public official with the intention of expediting or securing the completion of a non-discretionary governmental procedure or action ("facilitation payments") are strictly prohibited, even if non-payment causes losses to the company.
Trucks Control prohibits and will not tolerate any retaliation or threat of retaliatory action against any person who reports a potential violation of company law, regulations, or policy.
Similarly, any employee who discourages or prevents another person from reporting the problem, or from seeking the necessary help or assistance to report it, will be subject to disciplinary action.
All employees must strictly comply with all applicable laws, internal regulations, and policies, including this document, always observing the highest standards of ethics in business, in the performance of their duties, and in the consistency of their relationships with internal and external stakeholders
No employee has the authority to request any action that violates these regulations, and is not subject to any type of waiver or exception, whether due to position, hierarchical rank, length of service, commercial or competitive demands, industry practices, or requirements of any other nature.
Any employee who deliberately violates this policy, or authorizes or allows a subordinate to violate it, will be subject to disciplinary action, including termination.
Employees, in the performance of their duties at the company, may have access to confidential information about Trucks Control, its clients, suppliers, business partners, or shareholders. "Confidential information" includes, but is not limited to, any non-public company information, such as documents and information relating to financial models, processes and products, software, hardware, applications developed or in use by Trucks Control, even if you participated in their development, among others

For this reason, it promotes and values initiatives in favor of diversity and equality in the workplace, prohibiting all forms of discrimination, whether based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, political opinion, nationality, social position, origin, or other factors.
In addition to its own operations, Trucks Control is committed to upholding high standards of responsible behavior among its business partners, including its suppliers and service providers.
Decisions regarding hiring, benefits, promotions, training, disciplinary measures, and terminations are always made based on the employee's skills and performance.
The Trucks Control team works diligently to achieve a high standard of environmental, health, and safety performance throughout the company, its branches, and third-party providers, expending maximum energy to prevent any accidents, injuries, and occupational illnesses in the course of our operations, including by promoting the proper use of equipment and protective measures.

The disclosure of information classified by Trucks Control as confidential is prohibited for purposes other than those exclusively serving the legitimate performance of Trucks Control's business.
Trucks Control believes in fair competition and therefore understands how competition law affects daily operations and the need to respect it. Violation of these laws can result in very serious consequences for the company and the employees involved, such as fines, reputational damage, litigation, and even imprisonment.

"Facilitation" or "kickback" payments are small payments, often made with the intention of securing or expediting government actions. The Trucks Control and Anti-Corruption Laws strongly prohibit "facilitation" or "kickback" payments.
The definition of undue advantage should be interpreted broadly, and may include tangible and intangible assets, such as:
Payments or donations;
Giveaways or gifts;
Tickets for concerts and events;
Travel, airfare, accommodation or meals;
Providing products free of charge or with special discounts;
Job offer for a public employee or people close to them;
Paying for meals can be considered bribery and should not be a practice. This rule applies to all types of government officials, public company employees, related individuals, and private agents.
The consumption of alcoholic beverages during meals with public officials and private agents is not permitted, as the ingestion of alcoholic beverages can impair judgment and the perception of our actions and intentions, in addition to not being a practice aligned with this code.
In informal events/gatherings (happy hour) where alcoholic beverages are consumed, but regardless of this, matters pertaining to work routines, projects, product development, or even personal issues such as colleagues' behavior, among other company-related matters, should not be mentioned.
Trucks Control employees may not accept anything of value (including gifts, presents, entertainment (tickets), favors, loans, services or special treatment of any kind, payment of travel or meal expenses) from individuals or organizations that do or seek to do business with the company, including suppliers, service providers, customers, public officials, or any other current or potential business partner.
Only promotional items lacking significant monetary value (pens, notepads, calendars, calculators, etc.) with a commercial value of less than R$ 100.00 (one hundred reais) will be an exception to this rule.
Any and all valuable goods (gifts, presents, entertainment, tickets, product donations, payment of travel or meal expenses) offered by employees to third parties must have a legitimate business purpose and be communicated in advance to the company's human resources department, as well as to the relevant management.
If you receive any gifts, they should preferably be returned or, if that is not possible, sent to the company's Human Resources department so that they can be raffled off or donated to a charity chosen by Human Resources.
Trucks Control is a solid, reliable company that is aware of its social and corporate responsibility. Therefore, professionals in the financial area should contribute to strengthening Trucks Control's credibility in the market. To this end, it is essential to:
Maintain appropriate professional standards in the recording and documentation of accounting and financial matters;
Stay up-to-date with laws and regulations, seeking legal advice whenever necessary;
Do not use in your personal transactions any procedure or artifice intended to manipulate, directly or indirectly, the price of assets, contractual values, or any actions that may mislead third parties with the aim of obtaining financial advantages for yourself or others
Any contribution, direct or indirect, made on behalf of Trucks Control to any political party, campaign committee, or candidate for public office, may only be made with the prior approval of the company's board of directors.
No shareholder, director, advisor, administrator, employee, or third party is authorized to make political contributions or donations on behalf of Trucks Control.
Employees who wish to run for municipal, state, or national elections should inform the HR department of their intentions.
Warning signs are understood to be certain suspicious circumstances that may indicate a risk of violating anti-corruption laws, or irregular situations or situations incompatible with the ethical standard that is intended to be safeguarded.
Even if it is not a violation per se, but a situation of apparent risk, the existence of a warning sign should be immediately reported to the Human Resources manager or Legal Department of the company. This will allow the company to investigate the facts, prevent the occurrence of an infraction, and decide on the best way to handle the situation.
