The Brazilian Pension Funds Authority (PREVIC) published an explainer on how integrity in public service underpins citizens’ trust in institutions, and set out how its own Integrity Programme supports its role licensing, monitoring and supervising Brazil’s closed supplementary pension sector. The article notes that the sector represents around 11% of national GDP and frames PREVIC’s integrity as a core institutional asset. It highlights that PREVIC updated its Integrity Programme in 2023 through an ordinance that refreshed guidelines and mechanisms for preventing, detecting and correcting illicit conduct and ethical or administrative deviations, aligned with guidance from the Office of the Comptroller General. Day-to-day implementation is described as focusing on stronger governance, periodic staff training, and integrity risk management through continuous process mapping; PREVIC also points to a public portal page that gathers programme-related rules, the PREVIC Integrity Plan, ethics commission information, diversity and equity guidance, and educational campaigns including monthly Oriente-se and Boletim de Ética publications.
