Siemens
Compliance Program
Swedcham invited members for a debate on September 3 about
the meaning of “Compliance” for the corporate world. The event
attracted more than 40 people.
“Siemens Compliance Program and its integration with business”
was the topic of the presentation by Wagner Giovanini, current
Compliance Director of Siemens for Latin America—who talked
about the trajectory of the company, which got out of a negative
situation in the media to become a world reference in Compliance.
Siemens places great importance on its role as a responsible
corporate citizen. This requires the company to conduct its affairs
without exception in accordance with accepted ethical standards
and in compliance with all relevant laws.
The Compliance Program contains a comprehensive package
of measures aimed at ensuring that Siemens’ future business
practices remain in full compliance with the law and its own
internal rules. Creating an environment devoid of corruption is
possible, and the only solution for sustainable growth, according
to the company.
Wagner Giovanini is an electrical engineer who graduated from
the Polytechnical School of the University of São Paulo (USP), with
post-graduation in Environmental Management, Black Belt in the
Six Sigma methodology and Master Coach trained by the Integrated
Coaching Institute. He has been with Siemens for more than 26 years.
Siemens Compliance Director Wagner Giovanini’s
presentation attracted a large crowd.
