Incentivise business integrity in Brazil

Goals

The Pro-Ethics Seal (Selo Pró-Ética) is designed to publicly commend companies that proactively implement robust measures to prevent, detect, and address instances of corruption and fraud.

Stakeholders

The Seal was established in 2010 by Brazil's Ethos Institute in partnership with the Office of the Comptroller General of Brazil.

In 2020-21, 327 companies applied, with 67 approved, and in 2022-23, 84 gained approval.

This success is attributed to the Pro-Ethics Seal Committee, a collective effort involving public and private sector institutions, ensuring fair evaluations and promoting corporate integrity.
