Unimed System
Code of Conduct
The Unimed System Code of Conduct aims at directing
employees, officers and directors in relation to possible
conduct dilemmas towards its main relationship pub-
lics. Launched in its first version in 2005 and revised
in 2010, the document will reach its 3rd edition in 2015
with the contribution from a work group composed by
representatives of over 60 Unimeds. The revision pro-
cess final phase will happen in the second semester of
2015, by means of a current draft public consultation.
;
In the Unimed System, adherence to this Code of
Conduct model is voluntary by Unimed cooperatives,
which are responsible for disclosing it to the relation-
ship publics and for taking care of its compliance. Ex-
pressing the quest for consistency between discourse
and practice, the code version which was in force in
2014 displayed a public commitment to enforce these
principles in concrete daily practices, contemplated by
eight fundamental principles: ]
Ethics Management
The Unimed System has been
attentively observing the need
of constantly improving the
Unimeds practices as defender
of an ethical and transparent
management with all publics
affected by its activities. Some
of these practices – especially
corruption prevention and
reputable conduct promotion
– are suggested and supported
by Unimed do Brasil by means
of tools such as the Unimed
System Code of Conduct
and the recent Integrity
promotion program at Unimed
cooperatives – a partnership
between Unimed do Brasil and
Instituto Ethos.
