Commitment and resposibility

Equatorial Oil conducts its activities based on solid corporate governance principles, strictly observing applicable legislation and the regulatory standards governing the energy sector, international trade, and fuel logistics.

Our operating model seeks to ensure that strategic and operational decisions are made based on technical criteria, institutional responsibility, and transparency. The company structures its internal processes to ensure legal certainty, regulatory predictability, and alignment with market best practices.

By operating in a highly regulated environment, Equatorial Oil recognizes that compliance goes beyond the formal observance of rules, encompassing the development of an organizational culture guided by responsibility, diligence, and respect for institutions.

Compliance framework

The company maintains internal guidelines and mechanisms aimed at preventing, identifying, and addressing potential non-compliance related to its operations. This set of practices is part of the company’s Compliance Program, structured to promote adherence to the legal, regulatory, and contractual requirements applicable to its activities.

The main objectives of this program include:

• ensuring that operations comply with applicable laws and regulations;

• supporting decision-making processes with reliable information on regulatory and operational risks;

• reducing exposure to legal, reputational, and operational risks;

• strengthening a corporate culture based on responsibility, transparency, and respect for market rules.

This framework contributes to the safe and consistent conduct of the company’s activities, reinforcing the trust of business partners, investors, and institutions.

Monitoring and continuous improvement

Equatorial Oil’s governance and compliance practices are supported by monitoring mechanisms and periodic reviews aimed at assessing the adherence of operations to internal policies and applicable regulatory requirements.

Whenever necessary, measures are implemented to improve processes and internal controls, with the goal of continuously strengthening the company’s governance standards.

This ongoing evaluation process enables the organization to enhance its risk management, integrity, and compliance practices, keeping pace with the regulatory dynamics of the energy and international trade sectors.
