Following the recommendations of the Corruption Prevention Board, ERSE drew up its Corruption and Related Offences Risk Management Plan in 2015, which monitoring has been evidenced in implementation reports submitted to that institution and published below.
 
Following the 2020 implementation report and the publication of the National Anti-Corruption Strategy 2020-2024[1], it was decided to revise the plan currently being implemented, in order not only to incorporate the observations for improvement identified, but also to reflect ERSE's organisational restructuring.
 
The National Anti-Corruption Strategy stipulates that public and private entities are obliged to have risk prevention plans for corruption and related offences, codes of conduct, an internal whistleblowing channel, a training policy for managers and employees, as well as to appoint of persons responsible for complying with these rules and training obligations.
 
This intention was made binding on ERSE by Decree-Law n.º 109-E/2021 of December 9, which approved the general regime for the prevention of corruption. In addition, Law n.º 93/2021, of December 20, which established the general regime for the protection of whistleblowers, also put this strategy into practice.
 
The new Plan for the Prevention of Risks of Corruption and Related Offences complies with the requirements of the general regime for the prevention of corruption (article 6), and the Director of Legal Services, Filipe Matias Santos, is responsible for the compliance program and its implementation.
 
In April 2024, ERSE approved the respective annual evaluation report for 2023.
