Prosegur, a leading global security company, is firmly committed to the highest regulatory compliance, good corporate governance, ethics and transparency. For this reason and with the aim of reflecting the maturity of the company’s commitments and adapting to social changes, Prosegur has approved and published a new version of its Code of Ethics and Conduct. In this way, the company continues to strengthen its actions in the field of governance, in line with its purpose and values. An area where Prosegur already had a solid model adapted to the most demanding international regulations and standards.

All areas and departments of the company have participated in the preparation of this document, which includes a series of updated behavioral guidelines, principles and values ​​for the nearly 150,000 workers who are part of Prosegur.

In addition, it is a fundamental pillar and an ethical reference for governance and the compliance program”.

The deep renovation of the document wants to respond to the new social context that surrounds us, in which technologies such as big data or Artificial Intelligence are protagonists, and where ESG criteria (environmental, social and good corporate governance) have more and more importance.
