Third-Party Due Diligence: We conduct background checks on companies that Prime does or intends to do business with. We do not do business with sanctioned entities.

Anti-Bribery and Corruption: Prime is against corruption in any form and stands firmly against bribery. Prime rejects situations of corruption and bribery of any kind, direct or indirect, active or passive, regardless of whether monetary values are involved. Strict rules were defined in areas of higher exposure such as facilitation payments, gifts, charitable donations, sponsorships, political contributions, insider trading, conflicts of interest, nepotism, money laundering, relations with agents and intermediaries. Policies and Procedures: A set of internal standards were established that cover the relevant activities carried out at Prime, to assist in ensuring compliance with laws and regulations as well as consistency and completeness on carrying out our activities. The standards are reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that stay relevant in light of the size and complexity of our operations.

This channel serves as a vital mechanism to encourage individuals, internal or external to the Company, to report evidence or suspicion of non-compliance to laws, regulations, internal policies and procedures or ethical behavior, without the fear of facing retaliation. By entrusting the management of this program to an independent external entity, we aim to ensure the confidentiality and impartiality of the reporting process.
