AtlasMex Relocation Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Charter
At AtlasMex Relocation® and/or ATL Van Lines Mexicana, S.A. de C.V., corruption, bribery, or attempted bribery are unacceptable behaviors.
Leading the fight against corruption
AtlasMex Relocation, together with FIDI, is determined to lead the relocation industry and has taken a firm stand against bribery and corruption. In doing so, AtlasMex Relocation will protect the primary interests of the industry, its associations, and its clients.
Background
This Charter is a statement of commitment designed to strengthen AtlasMex Relocation and its relationships with suppliers.
All AtlasMex Relocation suppliers agree to sign and conduct themselves in accordance with the terms of this Charter. The Charter covers their employees (whether permanent, fixed-term, or temporary) and any associates or third parties providing services or representing their company.
What is bribery? Bribery is the offering, promising, giving, accepting, or soliciting of an advantage as an inducement for an action. It is illegal and constitutes a breach of trust. A bribe is an inducement or reward offered, promised, or provided to gain a commercial, contractual, regulatory, or personal advantage.
AtlasMex Relocation and FIDI zero tolerance on bribery
Corruption, bribery, or attempted bribery are unacceptable behaviors. Offering bribes is just as unacceptable as receiving them, and goes against the core values of AtlasMex Relocation and FIDI, which demand business conduct adhering to the highest legal, moral, and ethical standards.
Bribery and corruption are punishable under various international laws and regulations. These laws frequently require companies to implement rigorous and proactive measures to detect and prevent corrupt practices.
Charter Statement
Commitment by all AtlasMex Relocation suppliers, effective immediately.
All suppliers of AtlasMex Relocation commit to conducting themselves ethically and legally, and shall refrain from any action that could harm the interests of the Company, our clients, or our industry.

Legal Compliance
AtlasMex Relocation suppliers must be aware of all anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws applicable in all jurisdictions in which they operate, and shall obey and support these laws.
Laws applying to international activities include not only those of the countries where operations take place, but also extraterritorial regulations such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) or public procurement anti-corruption laws. This legislation affects the international operations of domestic companies as well as the conduct of citizens at home and abroad.
AtlasMex Relocation, as a FIDI-affiliated company, is fully aware of and committed to compliance with all applicable laws.
