CODE OF ETHICS AND CONDUCT

At Dash, we believe that ethics is not just a guideline, but the foundation of everything we build. It is present in the choices we make, the relationships we cultivate, and the way we position ourselves in the world.

We are a brand with our own production, and we closely monitor every stage of what we produce, taking responsibility for the processes, the people, and the quality of everything that reaches our customers.

Every fabric, every seam, every garment carries the Dash brand and, with it, our commitment to doing the right thing.

This Code reflects the principles that guide our decisions, strengthen our culture, and direct the conduct of everyone who interacts with the company.

More than a set of rules, it is a guide that translates who we are and how we choose to conduct our work every day.

1. Our Commitment

At Dash, we are committed to acting with integrity, transparency, and responsibility in everything we do, ensuring that our decisions are always aligned with the ethical principles that guide the company.

This is reflected in the way we choose our inputs, how we interact with employees, customers, suppliers, and partners, and how we conduct every stage of our work, always ensuring coherence between our words and our actions.

This Code does not replace current legislation, but complements it by establishing a higher standard of conduct that must be followed by everyone who interacts with us.

Whether you are an employee, supplier, or service provider, you are expected to commit to knowing, understanding, and adhering to this Code, which should guide your daily behavior and decisions.

Furthermore, it is expected that situations representing a violation of this Code or potential conflicts of interest be reported through the channels indicated in the Communication and Dialogue Channels section.

Adherence to these guidelines is essential for building an environment of integrity that is aligned with Dash's values, and it is a fundamental part of all the relationships we establish.

2. Objective

To establish clear and objective ethical conduct guidelines that direct the decisions and attitudes of all Dash employees, partners, and stakeholders, promoting an environment that is upright, respectful, safe, and sustainable.

The specific objectives of this Code are to:

Define the standards of behavior expected from everyone who interacts with Dash
Prevent situations involving ethical, legal, and reputational risk to the company
Guide employees and partners on how to act in situations of doubt
Establish mechanisms for reporting, investigation, and accountability
Consolidate an organizational culture based on integrity and responsibility

3. Our Principles

The following principles are non-negotiable. They guide how we make decisions, how we interact, and how we build Dash every day.

Integrity

We act with consistency between what we say and what we do. Whether in public or in private, with or without supervision. At Dash, integrity means refusing to obtain advantages through illegitimate means; it is honesty with numbers, deadlines, and information, and the courage to say no when necessary.

Respect

We value every person we interact with. This means listening with empathy, recognizing the diversity of perspectives, and treating everyone with dignity, both inside and outside the company.

Transparency

We communicate with clarity and honesty. We do not omit relevant information, manipulate data, or act in a way that deceives anyone. Transparency is the foundation of trust.

Responsibility

We take responsibility for the consequences of our actions. Mistakes happen; what is not accepted is denying, hiding, or blaming others. Whoever works at Dash is the protagonist of their own actions.

Justice

We apply rules uniformly, without favoritism. We evaluate situations impartially and ensure that the measures taken are proportionate and consistent with the facts.

4. Human Rights

We reaffirm our commitment to human rights as an essential and non-negotiable principle, promoting an environment based on dignity, respect, and equality.

Our practices are aligned with the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Labour Organization Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, guiding how we conduct our relationships and operations.

Under no circumstances do we allow:

Child labor
Forced or slave-like labor
Degrading working conditions
Any form of exploitation of human dignity.

This commitment extends to our entire production chain, including suppliers, subcontractors, and business partners. We do not hire services or maintain business relationships with companies involved in any of these practices.

Likewise, we provide safe and healthy working conditions in compliance with current labor laws, ensuring fair compensation and respect for social security regulations.

5. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

We value diversity as an essential part of our culture. We believe that diverse environments generate more creative teams, more balanced decisions, and more sustainable results.

We do not tolerate any form of discrimination, direct or indirect, based on:

Gender or gender identity
Sexual orientation
Race or ethnicity
Religion or belief
Disability
Age
Nationality
Marital status or pregnancy

We reinforce our commitment to gender equity and repudiate any form of misogyny, sexism, or unequal treatment between genders in the workplace.

6. Employees and Work Environment

We promote a safe, respectful, and collaborative environment. Every person who is part of Dash deserves to work in a space where they feel valued, heard, and protected.

Regardless of hierarchical position, we will not tolerate:

Moral harassment: excessive pressure, humiliation, threats, provocations, and any conduct that embarrasses or intimidates an employee;
Sexual harassment: insinuations, mockery, sexual jokes, proposals, or abusive physical acts;
Physical, verbal, or psychological violence;
Discrimination of any nature;
Intimidating behavior or behavior that causes embarrassment;

Leadership has an additional responsibility in building this environment, acting as an example and ensuring that inappropriate situations are addressed immediately and responsibly.

7. Conflict of Interest

Conflicts of interest occur when personal, family, financial, or any other private interests may influence decisions made in the exercise of professional activities.

At Dash, we expect all decisions to be conducted with impartiality, responsibility, and a focus on the legitimate interests of the company, without favoritism or undue benefits.

It is everyone's duty to act with transparency in these situations, reporting in advance any circumstance that may create a conflict of interest, even if only potential. This care is essential to preserve the trust, credibility, and integrity of the relationships built by Dash.

No decision should be made based on personal, direct, or indirect advantages, especially in processes related to hiring, negotiations, purchasing, supplier selection, partnerships, or people management.

Failure to report conflict situations may compromise the company's reputation, affect the impartiality of decisions, and result in the adoption of appropriate disciplinary measures.

8. Confidentiality of Information

Information accessed as a result of a professional relationship with Dash, including strategic, operational, commercial, financial, and personal data, must be treated with responsibility, confidentiality, and secrecy, regardless of the medium in which it is stored or shared.

Access to such information should only occur when necessary for the performance of professional activities, respecting the limits of each function and the confidentiality involved.

It is not permitted to share, disclose, reproduce, or use privileged information for personal benefit or the benefit of third parties, even after the termination of any relationship with Dash.

The following is considered confidential information:

Financial, tax, and accounting data (revenue, margins, pricing, production costs)
Customer portfolios, price lists, negotiated commercial terms
Technical specifications of products, patterns, technical sheets, and manufacturing processes
Personal data of employees, customers, and suppliers
Business strategies, expansion plans, and new products in development
Marketing plans and new product development
Contracts, agreements, and partnership terms
Systems, software, passwords, and information technology infrastructure
Any other information that is not in the public domain.

We also expect everyone to adopt responsible practices in the use of systems, documents, passwords, equipment, and corporate tools, contributing to the protection of information and data security.

Non-compliance with this obligation will subject the offender to internal disciplinary measures and to sanctions provided for by applicable civil and criminal laws.

9. Relationship with Customers

Customers are a central part of our business. They motivate every product we develop, every process we improve, and every decision we make.

We commit to:

Act with transparency and ethics in all interactions;
Offer products and services with quality, consistency, and punctuality;
Respect current contracts signed with our customers, regulated by the Civil Code;
Avoid any deceptive or abusive practice that creates false expectations;
Handle complaints with seriousness, agility, and a willingness to resolve them;
Build relationships of trust and long-term partnerships.

The relationship with customers must always be based on respect for their autonomy and a genuine pursuit of the best possible experience.

10. Conduct Standards for Suppliers and Partners

At Dash, we believe that our business relationships must be built on the basis of trust, transparency, and responsibility.

The selection and management of suppliers, partners, and service providers follow technical, legal, and ethical criteria, considering not only the quality of products and services offered, but also how these companies conduct their activities and relate to people, processes, and legal obligations.

We expect everyone to share the same principles that guide Dash, in compliance with current legislation, especially regarding labor, environmental, and occupational safety standards.

We do not allow practices such as child labor, forced or slave-like labor, corruption, fraud, undue favoritism, or any conduct that violates human dignity or contradicts this Code.

We also expect suppliers and partners to conduct their commercial relationships with responsibility, preserving the confidentiality of shared information and the fairness of negotiations held with Dash.

We reserve the right to evaluate and review our business relationships whenever necessary, potentially terminating partnerships that are not aligned with the principles and guidelines established herein.

11. Relationship with the Public Sector

We act with absolute integrity and transparency in our relationships with government agencies, public entities, regulatory bodies, and civil servants in general, including in the context of public tenders and contracts.

The following are not permitted under any circumstances:
Practices of corruption, bribery, or kickbacks
Favoritism or undue advantages to public agents
Any attempt to obtain benefits through illicit means
Financing of practices that involve conflicts of interest with the public authorities

We respect and fully comply with current anti-corruption legislation, including Federal Law No. 12.846/2013 (Anti-Corruption Law), and we demand the same from all our employees and partners.

12. Sustainability and Socio-Environmental Responsibility

We believe that growing responsibly is an inseparable part of growing well.

Therefore, we conduct our activities considering the social and environmental impacts generated throughout our operations, acting consciously and committed to the continuous improvement of our processes.

This commitment is present in the choices we make daily, from production processes to the selection of suppliers and materials used by Dash.

We work continuously to reduce the consumption of water, energy, and raw materials in our operations, in addition to ensuring the proper disposal of scraps, waste, and leftovers generated during production.

As part of this effort, we developed the "Recicle Seu Uniforme" (Recycle Your Uniform) program, an initiative that promotes the reuse and conscious disposal of used garments through partnerships with social institutions, contributing to waste reduction and the generation of positive social impact.

We also seek to build relationships with suppliers and partners who share the same commitment to responsible practices, environmental compliance, and the reduction of impacts generated along the production chain.

We understand that socio-environmental responsibility should not be treated merely as a differentiator, but as part of the commitment we have made to people, society, and future generations.

13. Communication and Dialogue Channel

Dash provides a safe, accessible, and confidential channel for recording reports, questions, or concerns related to conduct that violates this Code or any internal policy.

Our commitment is to guarantee:

Anonymity, when requested by the reporter
Absolute confidentiality of received information
Impartial and responsible investigation of each case
Protection against any form of retaliation against the person who reports a concern in good faith

Reports can be made via email: etica@dashuniformes.com.br

All reports will be treated with seriousness, respect, and a sense of justice. The company commits to investigating each case responsibly, adopting appropriate measures whenever necessary.

14. A Continuous Commitment

This Code is not a static document. It will be reviewed and updated whenever necessary to reflect the evolution of the company, legislation, and best market practices.

Ethics is alive. It manifests itself in every interaction, in every product that leaves our factory, and in every partnership we build.

May this Code be, above all, a reflection of who Dash is and who we choose to continue to be.

Knowing, complying with, and upholding this Code is the responsibility of each one of us.
