Abstract

This paper argues that corruption is an evil rooted in society for several centuries and is inserted in various ways in society. Such degradation may have as agents public subjects, but can be practiced exclusively by individuals. Corruption practiced only among private agents violates business economic principles, such as the right to free competition, free initiative, and the social function of the company in order to harm private entrepreneurs and society. It is presented as a way to solve this problem, the implementation of compliance programs to institute ethical attitudes within companies. Finally, a case study was carried out with the company Natura S / A, where it was verified that the company, which values ​​a sustainable and ethical business model and has received awards worldwide, uses programs to avoid corruption in all its possible forms, including involving only private companies.
