The Code of Conduct establishes our expected and permissible behavior, in accordance with the ethical principles and values described in our Code of Ethics. Likewise, this document sets out the conduct requirements for our Board Members, Officers and personnel, which contribute to making Pemex the most competitive company in the Mexican oil industry and an international benchmark.

 

For Pemex it is of the utmost importance that suppliers, contractors, customers, partners, or any Third Parties share the principles and guidelines of integrity and corporate ethics in their interaction with the personnel at Pemex and its subsidiaries, as well as the application of proprietary mechanisms that promote actions similar to those stipulated in our Codes; or, where appropriate, their compliance with these Codes.

 

The Codes are mandatory for our Directors, Officers and staff, so we encourage you to report any non-compliance through the ethics hotline.

 

For Pemex and its subsidiaries, it is important that our personnel are familiar with the Codes of Ethics and Conduct, as well as with the regulations on corruption prevention, transparency, and personal data protection, because we are committed to maintaining commercial agreements and fostering ethical value chains with our third parties. Courses in these areas are mandatory for all personnel, including management and board members.

Our Compliance Program, called "Pemex Cumple", is aimed at preventing corruption risks through strategies and guidelines designed to promote ethical values and principles, legal compliance, accountability, transparency and the protection of personal data through the development of human capital. 

For this purpose, we developed e-learning courses, such as:   

"Anti-corruption policy" and "Conflict of interest" courses to prevent acts of corruption.   

"Our Codes" is designed to familiarize personnel with the principles, values and expected behavior contained in the codes of ethics and conduct.  

The specialized course "Due Diligence" enables personnel to learn about the importance of maintaining commercial agreements based on an ethical approach with third parties with whom we have relationships.

To reaffirm our commitment to transparency, accountability and protection of personal data, training is provided through the INAI system on the following topics: Transparency Obligations, Access to Public Information, Open Government, and Personal Data.
