Horiens Integrity System

At Horiens, we have adopted a Integrity System inspired on the best global practices and on the respect for the law.

Our Integrity System is an organic structure, with interdependence among the 10 measures. It works effectively when there is harmony among its pillars and when implemented in an integrated manner with our other policies.
