CIMPOR has recently received two important international certifications: ISO 37301:2021 - Compliance Management Systems and ISO 37001:2017 - Anti-bribery Management Systems, further reinforcing our commitment to ethics, transparency, and responsibility in business. These certifications cover our operations in six countries across three continents, namely Portugal, Turkey, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Romania, and Cape Verde.

The ISO 37301:2021 certification is an international standard that defines the requirements for implementing an effective compliance management system, ensuring that all legal and regulatory obligations are met, and promoting an organizational culture based on social responsibility and corporate integrity.

The ISO 37001:2017 certification recognizes CIMPOR’s efforts in implementing anti-bribery management systems and demonstrates our commitment to creating a more ethical and transparent business environment, contributing to building a fairer and more competitive society.

Özge Aşçıoğlu, Group Director of Internal Audit, Risk and Compliance at CIMPOR Global Holdings, highlighted the importance of these certifications in aligning the company with international best practices: “These certifications recognize the work and dedication of our team in ensuring compliance with the highest standards of integrity and transparency. We will continue to invest in the continuous improvement of our processes and promote a responsible and sustainable corporate culture.”

This recognition represents CIMPOR's ongoing effort and commitment to implementing and improving internal processes, strengthening our dedication to transparency and compliance in all areas of operation.

CIMPOR also had the opportunity to share its approach and compliance management practices at the 13th Annual European Compliance & Ethics Institute Conference, organized by the Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics (SCCE), in Lisbon from March 10th to 12th. Maria Inês Mendes, Compliance and Risk Management Senior Specialist at CIMPOR, and Özge Aşçıoğlu, Internal Audit, Risk and Compliance Group Director at CIMPOR-OYAK Cement, explored the challenges businesses face when implementing compliance programs in African countries and shared practical tips on overcoming them in the panel "Compliance Beyond European Borders: Navigating Compliance in Africa."

It is with great pride that we celebrate 2.000 days without lost-time injuries at SACOPOR!

Many congratulations to the entire team for their unwavering commitment to safety at work.

This achievement is the result of everyone's daily commitment.

May we continue to have Safety as a Value, in everything we do.
