Política Anticorrupción Grupo Cargoquin
Objective
I At Cargoquin, Inc. we are committed to conducting our business with honesty, integrity, trustworthiness and responsibility. Since 1969, our founder, the customs broker Orfelio Quintanilla, managed to transmit to employees, partners and friends the values that today form us as a company.. We responsibly comply with the anti-corruption laws applicable to the countries where we do business, in addition to having a code of ethics and business conduct.
Group Policy
II This policy applies all employees of Cargoquin, Inc. regardless of where they are located. All employees have the responsibility to comply with this policy in the exercise of their duties on behalf of the company. The management of Cargoquin, Inc. has the responsibility of ensuring that the employees comply with this policy. Management has conferred compliance responsibilities on some employees. The compliance department will help employees understand and comply with this policy and will take the necessary steps to maintain and carry out an anti-corruption program. However, the responsibility for compliance will continue to be of the employees. Cargoquin, Inc.'s operations in certain countries may need additional specific anti-corruption guidelines to comply with laws and respond to local circumstances. Any additional country-specific guidance must be aligned with this policy. Violation of any federal, state or foreign law will not be permitted or tolerated.
Supervision and Administration
III The directors, managers, Social Responsibility Committees and internal audit teams of Cargoquin, Inc. are responsible for supervising this policy and the company's anti-corruption program. Pamela Valenzuela as Director of Human Resources and Corporate Social Responsibility, as well as Jorge de Haro Bueno as Director of Administration and Legal Representative, supervise the compliance with this policy and the company's anti-corruption program. Under their direction, their direct work teams are responsible for ethics compliance in the group, managing daily requests and routine approvals as described in this policy.

Our policy is clear: All employees of Cargoquin, Inc. managers, members of the Board of Directors (whether from Cargoquin, Inc. or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates), and others acting on behalf of Cargoquin, Inc. may not pay bribes or treat to otherwise improperly influence any other person - whether in the public or private sector - even if such payment is requested and its bribery status is denied. This is applicable if an improper payment is made directly through a Grupo Cargoquin collaborator or through a third party, such as agents or representatives, vendors, clients, partners, or other service providers.
All forms of bribery and corruption are prohibited
IV Bribery occurs when items of value are directly or indirectly provided to individuals, including government officials, business partners, clients or potential clients, for their personal benefit, in order to influence their actions or decisions relating to their official positions or of the company. Sometimes bribery is obvious, but there are cases where it is very subtle. Employees of Cargoquin, Inc. have the responsibility to recognize the alerts indicating a possible case of bribery or corruption and to respond appropriately following the provisions of this policy. The laws in force prohibit bribery and corruption of both public officials and private persons. When dealing with public officials, Cargoquin Inc. employees must pay special attention, since the consequences in cases of corruption related to the public sector and the people involved can be especially harsh for the company. What do we mean by “items of value”? “Items of value” is a broad concept, and can include cash or its equivalents (e.g. gift cards), meals, entertainment, travel, gifts, employment, contracts, in-kind services, such as the performance of repair work at someone's home, or any other type of goods or services with tangible economic value.
No to bribery “Facilitation payments”
V “Facilitation payments” is a term that is used in different ways around the world. In some countries, a facilitation payment is a euphemism for bribery. In others, such as the FCPA (Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in the US), it is a perfectly defined term that refers to certain expedited, or “greased” payments. Although they are not illegal, they must be adequately controlled and recorded in the company's books. Facilitation payments are illegal under the laws of most countries in the world. Consistent with its policy of compliance with all applicable laws, Cargoquin, Inc. does not allow facilitation payments. If you are asked to make a facilitation payment, you must decline to do so. It is not allowed to make such payments in the performance of professional duties for the company, even if they are made from personal finances and reimbursement is not sought. All requests for facilitation payments must be reported to the compliance officer of this anti-corruption policy.
Company resources are not to be used for political purposes
VI The use of company funds, property or other resources to make contributions or offer things of value to political candidates, political parties or party members is not permitted. The company will not reimburse any employee for any personal contribution made for political purposes. Everyone is free to participate in political activities outside of working hours and at their own expense, as long as this does not interfere with the performance of their duties at Cargoquin, Inc. and is not done on behalf of the company. In addition to being prohibited by company policy, such payments may raise issues with the anti-corruption program.
Contributions to charities and sponsorships
VII Cargoquin, Inc. is committed to serving the communities in which it carries out its activity. To that end, Cargoquin, Inc. employees may sponsor events or make contributions to charities for educational, social, or other legitimate business purposes. Anti-corruption laws do not prohibit legitimate donations and sponsorships. But we have an obligation to ensure that funds earmarked for such purposes are used for their intended purpose and are not diverted and also that they reach the proper recipients and purposes. This policy covers contributions and event sponsorships to known charities for legitimate business purposes that are modest in amount and do not pose special concerns. They can be carried out without prior approval. Some examples of appropriate contributions are: A donation to health foundations, to educational programs to help with vocational training, or to Red Cross to help with rescue operations, etc. Contributions and sponsorships of events that may fall into doubts of legitimacy require the prior approval of Pamela Valenzuela or Jorge de Haro Bueno.
It is mandatory to report cases of blackmailing and extortion
VIII Even if a government official or other person (e.g. a potential client) asks you for an improper payment, that is not an excuse for violating this policy. Employees of Cargoquin, Inc. must deny such a request and immediately report any attempt of blackmailing or extortion to those responsible for compliance with this policy at company level. Bribery attempts should be politely but forcefully rejected, making sure that all comments or responses do not give the impression of agreeing to the bribery. Let the person know that Cargoquin, Inc. has strict policies and that we may lose our job if we engage in conduct that violates these policies.
We expect the same from our business partners.
IX Cargoquin, Inc.'s policy prohibits bribery and corruption, either directly or indirectly. In some countries, hiring well-connected agents or “finders” to help identify and pitch new business, to introduce people or to lobby public officials is a common practice. This can become a bribery channel. We expect our agents, consultants, joint venture partners, or any other third parties acting on our behalf (“Business Partners”) to perform legitimate services, and to adhere to standards of ethical and professional conduct, as described in this Policy and in the Code. What are the red flags as far as business partners are concerned? The red flags are facts or circumstances- a pattern, practice or specific event- that indicates the possibility of corruption. There are many examples for these red flags, and the following list does not include all of them.
- A new business partner is referred by a public official.
- A public official or someone close shows business interest in a business partner.
- The business partner has no experience in carrying out the job he/she was hired to do, or has been hired solely due to the influence of a public official.
- The business partner makes suspicious statements (e.g. ‘do not make any questions, I’ll handle this’), is not transparent in their acts or insists on keeping their dealing with you secret.
- The business partner’s commission is too high compared to industry standard or to the job to be done. The Business partner requests their payment to be made out of the record to an account in a tax haven.
- The business partner refuses to sign a contract with anticorruption guarantees.
- The business partner submits fake invoices or refuses to provide documentation that support the expenses.
If you identify any of these, please contact the personnel responsible for the compliance of this anticorruption policy.
Our responsibilities when working with business partners. Due to the possible responsibilities associated with collaboration with business partners, there are a series of measures to protect Cargoquin, Inc.:
- Due diligence should be documented and retained and regularly updated.
- Business partners should not be asked to provide services without a contract. Contracts help demonstrate the legitimate reasons why a partner (or the contracted entity) was hired and the services to be provided. In addition, contracts typically contain provisions to help protect Cargoquin, Inc. Therefore, they are important.
- Employees must also ensure that any compensation paid to a business partner represents an appropriate value based on legitimate assets or services rendered.
Our responsibilities do not end once a business partner has a contract. We must constantly monitor the activities of our partners. Red flags or other concerns about the correctness of a partner's conduct that arise in the course of the relationship with that partner should be reported to the compliance officer so that risks can be weighed and appropriate safeguards developed. The following are examples of issues that could arise in the conduct of a business partner:
- The business partner requests additional compensation when there is no legitimate need.
- There is news that a public official, or a close relative or an associate of a public official, has an interest in a partner of the company.
- There are rumors that a partner is under investigation for money laundering or other criminal activity.
Cargoquin, Inc. can carry out the training of business partners, audits or seek compliance certifications when appropriate. Cargoquin, Inc. encourages its employees to share this Anti-Corruption Policy with their business partners so that they are aware of their commitment to legal and ethical business practices.

-Greater knowledge and identification of our needs, being located in the same community.
