Ethics and Compliance

The Values of the Mota-Engil Group are based on ethical principles that we consider decisive in affirming a strong and cohesive collective identity, translated into an organisational culture, which we believe sets us apart and drives us towards a greater purpose that guides our collective conduct.

In a compliance system that is intended to be robust and guided by ethical principles rooted in the Group’s culture, we periodically promote the internal review of procedures to promote continuous improvement, in a group that is certified and committed to the best market practices regarding transparency of conduct.

Whistleblowing channel

To have a robust system in line with the maintenance of high ethical and business conduct standards, everyone’s contribution is crucial, and irregularities or complaints can be reported via this link.

The Whistleblowing Channel represents the exclusive and confidential means, provided by Mota-Engil, for the safe and confidential communication of irregularities or observed practices that do not comply with our upright, ethical and transparent behaviour, as reflected in our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and supported by our internal rules and the legislation in force in the countries where we operate. Total confidentiality will be ensured regarding the information provided, which is received and analysed solely and exclusively by an independent team directly connected to the company’s supervisory body.

A robust Compliance system in line with best practices

Based on Integrity and on an ethically committed behaviour towards the society in which we operate, the Mota-Engil Group promotes the highest standards of conduct, based on honesty, loyalty and respect for dignity and individual rights. These principles are reflected in the Code of Ethics and Conduct that has long been in force in all the countries where we operate.

In order to ensure commitment across the board, we share the Code of Ethics and Conduct with each new hire as a central part of their welcome, reinforcing knowledge and collective commitment within the scope of their responsibility, also making available on the internal portal and website the Integrity and Compliance Programme, the Prevention Plan for Risks of Corruption and Related Offences, and the Anti-Corruption and Bribery, Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Policy.

Supplier Code Of Ethics And Conduct

The requirement for integrity and transparency applies not only to the Group’s companies and employees, but also to its partners and subcontractors. In addition to their technical competence and ability to fulfil their obligations, subcontractors are also assessed on their own commitment to respecting human rights and business ethics.

Safety And Sustainability As Core Pillars Of Action

The daily actions of each Mota-Engil Group employee must be it line with the group’s purpose, promoting a space for individual and inclusive development.
As part of this policy, we defend and promote gender equality and the defence of human rights as a cornerstone of our collective behaviour, complemented by a SHEQ policy that places the individual as the central concern of our actions, in a transversal safety requirement with all our partners.
