In October 2018, the Odebrecht Foundation held a Training Cycle for team members on topics linked to the institution’s financial, accounting and tax processes. The workshops also included presentations and dialogues on the new internal guidelines, people development and annual planning.

 

The cycle consisted of four training sessions. The first, on “New Financial Guidelines”, was presented by José Ernesto Gonzalez, director of People, Finance & Compliance at the Foundation, who discussed its new internal procedures. Next came the workshop “Action Program (PA) 2019”, administered by Beatriz Lepikson from Sustainable Development, which addressed the concept of the PA, how to structure it and its importance for planning actions. Another workshop presented by Gonzalez, “New Compliance Guidelines”, addressed topics such as the institution’s compliance policy, which is aligned with the principles of its sponsor, Odebrecht S.A.

Team Members also participated in a workshop on Ethics, Integrity and Transparency, which was administered by José Marinho, a former Odebrecht team member and a partner at Marinho Consultores Associados. Marinho held a dialogue on the moral issues inherent to society and delved into the systematic concepts of the Odebrecht Entrepreneurial Technology (TEO), while encouraging reflection on the current moment of the Odebrecht Group. “Our current situation is one of transformation. And we have to blaze a new path, because one does not exist. We are part of this process”, provoked the consultant.
