Compliance
At Melnick, we act ethically, seriously and transparently, where respect is valued in all our relationships, actions and decisions. Our Compliance approach is integrated, and the Compliance area works closely with the Legal Department and Risk Management to ensure compliance with the Company's internal integrity procedures. This dedication is formalized in the Code of Conduct and the Risk Management Policy, reinforcing a culture of excellence in management, control and governance.
Under the direct leadership of the CEO, Leandro Melnick, the Compliance area reports periodically to the Company's Audit Committee, which is responsible for supervising the independence of the area's work and may, at its sole discretion, seek independent opinions on compliance issues. The Compliance area conducts investigations into possible breaches of integrity, ensuring that the Company's Code of Conduct is applied and adhered to In cases of suspected fraud, bribery or corruption, the area is responsible for conducting investigations in a confidential and impartial manner, regularly reporting progress to the Audit Committee. A summary of these activities is presented by the Audit Committee to the Council of Administrations at its quarterly meetings.
In addition, the Company has a Conduct Committee, a collegiate advisory body to the Council of Administrations, to whom it reports directly, and is composed of three members, (i) Manager of the Human Resources area; (ii) Manager of the Legal area; and (iii) Manager of the Company's Risk Management and Compliance area. The Conduct Committee has subsidiary powers to supervise investigative activities in the Risk Management and Compliance area that do not fall within the remit of the Audit Committee, as well as to draw up a communication and training plan related to the Integrity Program and ensure compliance.
