At EFAFLU we value transparency, integrity and ethics in all our operations. In order to reinforce these values, we have implemented the General Regime for the Prevention of Corruption, in accordance with Decree-Law no. 109-E/2021. This regime establishes essential measures to prevent and combat corruption, promoting a fairer and more reliable business environment.
The General Regime for the Prevention of Corruption (RGPC) is a set of rules and procedures designed to prevent and combat corrupt practices. Established by Decree-Law 109-E/2021, the RGPC establishes mandatory measures for organisations, including the implementation of integrity programmes, codes of conduct, an internal whistleblowing channel, training and internal control systems.

- Promoting Integrity: Fostering a culture of ethics and integrity.
- Transparency: Ensuring that all the actions and decisions of organisations are transparent and accessible for audits and evaluations.
- Accountability: Ensuring that all parties involved are held accountable for their actions, encouraging compliance with the rules.

Implementing the RGPC
Implementing the RGPC requires a serious and ongoing commitment from organisations.

- Internal Whistleblowing Channel.
