The Code of Ethical Conduct is the primary guide for the actions of administrators, employees, interns, apprentices, and collaborators of the Bradesco organization.
Moral principles and ethical values in all practices and decisions taken in the Organization
Ethics in the organization
Ethical conduct is a relevant topic and has been present in our day-to-day work since Bradesco was founded, when we instituted the bank's internal regulations in 1944.
At the beginning of the 1970s, employees who took on management positions issued and signed, by hand, their Declaration of Principles, which, in general terms, included the basic principles of ethical conduct.
The essence of these principles was the basis for the Bradesco Code of Ethical Conduct, approved in 2003 by the Board of Administration, which also approved its latest update on 09/06/2023, made to comply with the best corporate governance and sustainability practices by reflecting current issues and reinforcing the guidelines that are fundamental for conducting activities and relations with internal and external audiences.
The Integrity and Ethical Conduct Committee, whose members are appointed by the Board of Administration of Banco Bradesco S.A., is the body responsible for applying the codes, and determining actions regarding their disclosure and compliance.
The management and periodic review of our code is the responsibility of the Compliance, Conduct, and Ethics department and involves various activities relating to its dissemination, acculturation, training, clarification of doubts, scope, and application, as well as the processing of complaints received through the Corporate Reporting Channel.
Code of Ethical Conduct
Code of Ethical Conduct
The Code of Ethical Conduct is intended to serve as a practical guide to personal and professional conduct, to be used by all our professionals in their daily interactions and decisions.
Our code addresses the principles of the organization and our values to be applied by managers, employees, trainees, apprentices, service providers, suppliers, parent companies, subsidiaries and companies that are part of the Bradesco organization.
The code is available in our Regulatory System for the entire workforce. All new hires receive a registered welcome letter, in which they are instructed to access the content within 30 days of being hired.
Sector Codes of Ethical Conduct
In addition, there are the Sector Codes of Ethical Conduct to define standards aimed at the honest and ethical conduct of the members of the various areas of activity of the Bradesco organization, emphasizing the importance of ethical values and principles in everyone's life, and the practice of these guidelines is decisive for the success of the organization's activities
Ethical Conduct Course - Mandatory
We offer a mandatory course on ethical conduct in the organization, aimed at broadening reflection on the subject, demonstrating the influences that ethics has on our personal and professional lives.
The course can be accessed via the tool available on the internal training platform and presents the full version of the Code of Ethics.
The course includes a post-test to assess adherence to the code, and whenever there is a revision that substantially changes the code's guidelines, the adherence test will take place again.
Mandatory courses must be taken exclusively at the workplace and during working hours.
Ethical actions
The effective dissemination of the Code of Ethical Conduct is complemented by various awareness-raising actions and in-house training, such as e-learning courses (TreiNet), the inclusion of the topic in the schedule of management training courses and other classroom courses, as well as video classes and many other educational tools.
