The Ethics Committee is an auxiliary collegiate body to the Board of Directors created with the mission of contributing so that the Company is permanently guided by ethical principles that are in line with Copel’s values, with the principles of the Global Compact and with the principles of Corporate Governance. In addition, the Committee is responsible for ensuring the dissemination and effective application of the precepts and guidelines of the Code of Conduct by employees, administrators and contractors.

Its main attributions are to monitor the process of receiving and investigating reports received through the Reporting Channel, to periodically review and issue guidelines about the Code of Conduct, and also to collaborate in the review of policies and internal rules related to the topic. 

The Committee is formed by the Deputy Governance, Risk and Compliance Officer, the Chief People and Business Management Officer and the Chief Legal and Compliance Officer, in addition to a member of the Board of Directors. The body, by its deliberation, may invite the Director of the area involved in the subject under discussion and the President of Copel Holding to help in the decision-making process. 

The current format of the Ethics Committee was approved by the Board of Directors in December 2019, however, since June 2005, there has been a structure responsible for the matter within the Company.
