Brazilian Government creates Selo Infra+Integridade (Infra+Integrity Seal of Recognition) for companies in the land transportation sector
The Brazilian Ministry of Infrastructure launched, through Ordinance No. 102/2020, the Infra+Integrity Seal of Recognition, aimed at recognizing good compliance practices of companies in the land transportation sector that have worked in large projects for the Public Administration in the last five years.
The Seal considers large projects as those involving an initial expenditure estimate of over BRL 82.5 million. To earn the Seal, companies must demonstrate that they have good governance practices, including integrity, ethics, transparency, compliance, social responsibility, sustainability, and prevention of fraud and corruption.
The evaluation to earn the Seal was divided into three parameters, which will be evaluated upon the submission of the following documents:
| Parameter | Documentation |
| Integrity | Compliance program report showing its existence and application |
| | Code of ethics or conduct approved and published on the company’s website |
| | Proof of an available and operating whistleblowing channel |
| | Proof of the participation of managers and employees in training related to the compliance program in the last two years |
| | Evidence of the existence of a function or department responsible for the compliance program |
| | Signing of the Business Pact for Integrity and Against Corruption, promoted by the Instituto Ethos (Ethos Institute) |
| | No records on the Brazilian Registry of Punished Companies – CNEP |
| Social Responsibility | No records on the Brazilian List of Slave Labor or Work Analogous to Slavery |
| | No records on the Brazilian List of Labor Violations related to child labor of the Department of Labor Inspection – SIT |
| Sustainability | Certificate of non-involvement in environmental crimes before federal and state courts of Brazil, issued where the company is headquartered and in other states where it has active subsidiaries |
| | No records on environmental violations before the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources – IBAMA |
| | Environmental Management System Certificate, according to the NBR ISO 14.001 standards, as amended |
Companies interested in earning the Seal must register between February 1st and April 30 of each year. The first edition will be in 2021 and the registration starts with the submission of a Registration Questionnaire available online.
If granted the Seal, the company will have its name published on the website of the Ministry of Infrastructure and other means of communication and will earn the right to use the Seal in products, packaging, documents, websites, advertising, folders, plates, vehicles, etc, for one year, counted from the date of the award.

Anti-corruption: legislative changes and enforcement
Over the past few years, Brazil has experienced nothing short of an anti-corruption revolution. Since before the beginning of Operation Car Wash in early 2014, which led to the arrest of high-profile politicians and executives, there have been significant legislative changes and increased enforcement actions that have reshaped Brazil’s business environment. This article discusses some of the recent key changes and explores how businesses are responding to this new scenario.
