The Comptroller General of the Union (CGU) announced in December the companies approved in the 2018-2019 edition of Pró-Ética, a project that assesses the implementation of measures and integrity policies in the relations of Brazilian companies with the public and private sectors. The project is an initiative of CGU and Instituto Ethos and has the participation of ETCO and other entities in its management committee.

In this edition, 26 companies were approved (see the table), out of a total of 373 that started the registration process. The award was presented by the CGU minister, Wagner Rosário, and by the secretary of Transparency and Prevention of Corruption (STPC), Cláudia Taya.

Pró-Ética does not generate privileges for companies in their relations with the public sector. The approved entities have the following benefits: public recognition that they are committed to preventing and combating acts of fraud and corruption, positive publicity and the evaluation of the integrity program by a specialized team.
