Based on the Mission "To Do, contributing towards the construction of a better world", an objective shared by all employees, man and women, of the Group, regardless of their sector of activity, geography, or work team, Teixeira Duarte adopted several instruments to guide the action of its subsidiary companies, in matters regarding the promotion of gender equality and the prevention of discriminatory practices, among which the following are highlighted:

The said Code of Ethics and Conduct foresees the existence of an Ethics Canal to where all employees, men and women, (as well as any third parties) must communicate eventual irregularities (namely situations of harassment at work) identified, without retaliations for good faith whistle-blowers.
