The American Society of São Paulo (AmSoc) is committed to promoting an environment guided by ethics, respect, integrity, and responsibility in all of its institutional relationships. As a non-profit civil association, AmSoc works to connect people, cultures, and stories by promoting social, cultural, and sports events, encouraging integration with Brazilian society, and supporting philanthropy and volunteer work.

Our commitment to ethical conduct guides the actions of directors, board members, staff, volunteers, members, partners, suppliers, and all other stakeholders with whom we interact. More than simply complying with internal rules, this commitment seeks to preserve trust, transparency, and the organization’s reputation, ensuring that our activities remain aligned with AmSoc’s values and principles.

Ethics and compliance are essential pillars for building and maintaining a safe, respectful, and responsible environment. For this reason, AmSoc encourages the prevention, identification, and proper handling of situations that may violate its Code of Ethics and Conduct, internal guidelines, or applicable legislation.

Ethics and Conduct Channel

​

The Ethics and Conduct Channel is a safe and confidential space created so that members, staff, volunteers, partners, suppliers, and other related parties can report conduct or situations that violate AmSoc’s Code of Ethics and Conduct, internal policies, or applicable law.

All reports received will be handled with confidentiality, responsibility, and impartiality, in accordance with the principles of integrity and respect that guide the organization’s activities. Reports may be submitted either anonymously or with identification, depending on the preference of the person submitting them.

The processing of personal data collected through this channel complies with applicable data protection legislation, especially Brazil’s General Data Protection Law (Law No. 13,709/2018 – LGPD).

Reports may include, for example:

​

• Moral harassment, sexual harassment, or any form of intimidation;

• Discrimination, prejudice, or conduct incompatible with respect for diversity;

• Conflicts of interest;

• Fraud, corruption, bribery, or any irregularity related to the use of resources;

• Violations of the Code of Ethics and Conduct or internal rules and policies;

• Inappropriate behavior during activities, events, institutional actions, or relationships connected to AmSoc;

• Other practices contrary to the association’s values and principles.

• ​

This channel must be used exclusively for reporting matters related to ethics, conduct, and compliance. For general questions, information about the association, events, sponsorships, volunteer work, administrative assistance, or other operational matters, AmSoc’s regular communication channels should be used.
