Governance
Leading ethically and transparently, fostering value creation, and committing to the environment and to people.
Governance & Ethics
We prioritise a culture of integrity, ethics, and transparency, ensuring that all our processes, decisions, and communications reflect the highest standards of corporate responsibility. We are committed to participatory management and to building relationships of trust with all stakeholders.
ACA’s principle is to lead ethically and transparently, creating value and committing to the environment and people.
Our value chain — both upstream and downstream of our operations, across all geographies and business areas — makes the development of this pillar a challenge that intersects with cultural, geopolitical, legislative, and regulatory issues, while maintaining integrity and ethics as our unifying foundation.

Ethics, Compliance, and Anti-Corruption
At ACA, business management is carried out with integrity, transparency, and compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations, reinforced by the availability of a whistleblowing channel to promote ethical values within the organisation and throughout the value chain.
Responsible supply chain
At ACA, responsible management of the value chain — both upstream and downstream — is essential to ensuring sustainable practices, guaranteeing that materials and resources are sourced responsibly in line with environmental and social standards, while also promoting fair labour practices.
Sustainable strategy, governance, and organisational culture
In line with our commitment to transparency and integrity, ACA declares that it does not make any financial or in-kind contributions to political parties, candidates for public office, or political organisations in any of the geographies where it operates. This position reflects our commitment to ethical conduct and independence from political influence.
