No! Based on your report, Contato Seguro will forward the information to the company's Ethics Committee, which will start the investigation and deal with the report correctly. Action will only be taken once the irregularity has been confirmed.

• If you have any proof, the system allows you to attach any type of file such as photos, videos, audio, etc.

The Channel helps us to create and keep the company safer and free from irregularities, preventing and combating attitudes that can harm us all.

The result is an increasingly healthy, welcoming, transparent, ethical working environment with more opportunities.

Contato Seguro is an outsourced company with a team of psychologist-listeners, ready to welcome you in the best possible way. These professionals have nothing to do with us and reports are received 100% confidentially.

• You run no risk of having your voice or situation identified, revealed or leaked by anyone.

• Under no circumstances will our company or the committee responsible for the investigation know who made the anonymous report via the Channel.

Contato Seguro receives the reports and records all the information in the system. Only our company's Ethics Committee has access to this information, guaranteeing the confidentiality of your data.

If the reported irregularity is identified, the Ethics Committee begins the investigation by collecting additional evidence and interviews. This committee also chooses the professionals responsible for the investigation (internal investigators or external experts, depending on the severity).

Finally, the Ethics Committee analyzes the results of the investigation. If the irregularity is proven, appropriate disciplinary or procedural measures are adopted and preventive measures are implemented - fundamental to strengthening our ethical culture and promoting transparency and integrity.

The committee is a group of people from our company who have been chosen and prepared to look after ethical issues, i.e. compliance with our values, internal rules and laws.

This group is responsible for investigating the reports received. It includes representatives from the company's strategic areas, some employees and sometimes an external member.

The collaborators who make up our Ethics Committee are trained to guarantee the impartiality and objectivity of the entire investigation process.

When you make a report, you receive a protocol number. This number is essential for tracking the progress of your report. See how to follow up your report:

• Visit the website contatoseguro.com.br/upnbeyond.
• Scroll down to the “Follow up on a report “ section.
• Enter your protocol number.
• Click on the arrow to move forward.

If the report was made by telephone, the specialist will inform you of the protocol. Write down the number so you can follow up later.

• It is possible for the committee to request more information about the report through messages that can only be accessed through the protocol.

These three forms are very important for your day-to-day life, here's why:

• Report form: this is for you to report any behavior that could harm our collaborators or company. Examples: moral or sexual harassment, bullying, fraud, etc. Don't be afraid to denounce it!

• Question form: use it to ask anything about the Complaints Channel or the rules our company follows. When in doubt, ask!

• Suggestion form: we want to know what suggestions or recommendations you have for improving our Channel or other areas of our company. Tell us about your idea!
