Compliance
A strong compliance culture that ensures Indra Group always 'does the right thing'.
Active involvement and supervision by the Board of Directors and senior management are essential parts of Indra Group's management system. For this reason, the Board of Directors has established a Compliance Model with the Code of Ethics at its core. This model is implemented throughout the company by the Compliance Unit under the supervision of the Audit and Compliance Committee.
Compliance Model
Indra Group has a Compliance Model comprised of the Criminal Risk Prevention Model and the Competition Law Risk Prevention Model, which are aimed at fostering a culture of compliance and preventing any activity that violates the law in the context of our businesses.
Indra Group's Compliance Model, the manuals that are part of it (Criminal Risk Prevention Manuals and Competition Law Risk Prevention Manuals), the Code of Ethics, and its supporting regulations have all been designed in line with the best practices and highest international standards of good governance. They articulate the Indra Group Board of Directors' firm commitment to the active and effective prevention and mitigation of, among other things, the risks of committing crimes, anti-competitive practices, and the most significant impacts on sustainability. This is in line with the ESG criteria defined in the Sustainability Policy and, ultimately, with the integrity and responsibility that should guide professional conduct for the development and maintenance of a strong culture of compliance.
Integrity, our strongest pillar. At Indra, 'doing the right thing' is our core value. We foster a culture of compliance and integrity, ensuring that every step we take is in line with the law and the highest ethical standards. Our reputation is built on trust, which is born from the impeccable way we operate.

Portugal: Plano de Prevenção de Riscos de Corrupção
O Governo de Portugal aprovou o Decreto-Lei n.º 109-E/2021, de 9 de dezembro de 2021, que cria o Mecanismo Nacional Anticorrupção e aprova o Regime Geral de Prevenção da Corrupção (a seguir RGPC).
Com a finalidade de prevenir, detectar e sancionar atos de corrupção e infrações conexas, o RGPC estabelece a obrigação de adotar e implantar um Programa de Cumprimento Normativo (a seguir PCN) para as empresas cobertas, que deverá incluir, pelo menos, os seguintes elementos:
- Plano de prevenção de riscos de corrupção e infrações conexas (a seguir, PPR);
- Código de conduta;
- Canal de denúncias;
- Programa de formação;
As filiais e sucursais da Portugal contam com um PCN em conformidade com as disposições do Decreto Lei que, para os efeitos do mesmo, foi determinado que seja o Manual de Prevenção de Riscos Penais das Filiais Internacionais que, por sua vez, inclui o denominado PPR.
O Manual de Prevenção de Riscos Penais define o modelo de Prevenção de Riscos Penais da companhia, estabelecendo as medidas de controle que a mesma possui para evitar que seus profissionais e colaboradores incorram em ilícitos de caráter penal.
Se está interessado em conhecer o conteúdo do Manual detalhadamente, solicite o documento através do Canal Direto (https://canaldirecto.indracompany.com/).
A implementação do PPR está sujeita ao controle, entre outros mecanismos, mediante a elaboração de dois relatórios: i) um no mês de outubro, de avaliação intermediária em situações detectadas de risco ALTO ou MUITO ALTO e ii) outro no mês de abril, de avaliação anual, em particular sobre a quantificação do grau de aplicação das medidas preventivas e corretivas identificadas, bem como a previsão de sua plena aplicação.
