Expected standard

It symbolizes the minimum and acceptable rules to be followed to achieve the objective proposed by the organization, whether they refer to the legislation in force in Brazil and in other countries where we operate, as well as internal regulations and policies, based on the principles and values of the Bertolini Group.

Expected conduct

Conduct can be defined as the way a person or group expresses themselves in a situation, especially when it affects social coexistence and impacts the interests of third parties. Expected conduct refers to how to act based on the principles of ethics and integrity. Doing the right thing because it is the right thing to do.
