The company is recognized for having integrity as part of its values, going beyond legal requirements.
Recognized for its commitment to the highest ethical standards, Seagems, a Brazilian company specializing in subsea engineering solutions, announces its adherence to the Brazil Integrity Pact, an initiative led by the Comptroller General of the Union (CGU) that encourages companies operating in Brazil to voluntarily commit to corporate integrity, promoting transparency and ethical business practices. This initiative reinforces the company’s ongoing commitment to ethics and integrity, values that permeate all of its activities.
“Seagems is recognized by partners, suppliers, and clients as a reputable company that values transparency in its relationships. Promoting this culture is a fundamental requirement for the longevity of our operations. Therefore, we are very pleased with this achievement, which reaffirms our values in terms of integrity beyond legal requirements,” says Maitê de Marco, Compliance Analyst at the company.
Among the various initiatives implemented by the company to ensure compliance with integrity guidelines are: a robust code of ethics, an active Ethics and Compliance Committee, and mandatory training for all employees. Seagems also distributes a monthly newsletter to its employees on compliance-related topics; conducts rigorous background checks on its supply chain to ensure their integrity (these investigation processes aim to obtain detailed information about the integrity and history of a person or company); and manages reports efficiently through its Whistleblower Channel. It is also worth mentioning that the company has internal policies developed to meet the specific needs of all areas related to this topic.
As suppliers to Petrobras, Seagems is audited annually by the oil company’s compliance program.
Brazil Integrity Pact
Companies that join the Brazil Integrity Pact publicly commit to ethics throughout their business cycle. This adherence generates direct benefits, such as attracting clients, employees, suppliers, and partners who share the same values. The integrity measures adopted also protect the company by preventing fraud and irregularities, both by employees and business partners. For Seagems, joining the Pact demonstrates that ethics is not just an obligation but a fundamental pillar for ensuring trust and credibility in business dealings.
