The CEO leads corporate integrity actions, ensuring compliance with internal and external standards.
The Compliance Leadership manages the Program, developing standards, training, communication, and risk monitoring with a focus on preventing misconduct.

Compliance System Structure
Atech’s Compliance Program is based on risk assessment, which serves as a starting point for the strategic planning of the program’s other actions. This strategic planning ensures that all initiatives are aligned, integrated, and incorporated into the company’s operations, strengthening an organizational culture that is ethical, transparent, and compliant with applicable laws and regulations. Through this system, Atech ensures that Compliance is not just a set of rules, but a true commitment present in the day-to-day of all company areas.
