Compliance

DESFA is fully committed to maintaining an Internal Control System according to international best practices.

The Internal Control System consists of all the necessary tools to effectively address, manage and check activities in the company, aimed at

• ensuring compliance with corporate laws and procedures,
• protecting corporate assets and efficiently managing activities,
• providing precise and complete accounting and financial information.

Compliance is involved in all tasks regarding the Internal Control System development, including communication, training and monitoring, to ensure that laws and regulations are abided by and internal policies and procedures are well designed, understood and followed by all DESFA people.

To that end, one of the most important roles of Compliance is the dissemination of the business ethics culture, because DESFA firmly believes that a key component of sustainable growth is ethical business conduct and integrates the ethical and reputational dimension into all business decisions and business activities.

The values and principles of DESFA's Code of Ethics, our zero tolerance approach towards corruption, our encouragement and protection for DESFA people reporting any violation, are all fundamental ground rules that define our corporate governance approach and guide an effective compliance program and the proper implementation of  an Internal Control System.
