Legality rating

The Legality Rating was established by Article 5-ter of Decree-Law No. 1/2012 in order to promote the introduction of ethical principles in corporate behaviour.

The awarding of a rating requires companies to meet high standards of legality and measures, by rewarding it, transparent, ethical and virtuous business management.

The rating promotes competition based on merits, encouraging compliance with rules and the improvement of quality standards by companies operating in the market.

Companies with a legality rating can enjoy benefits in accessing resources and opportunities in both public and private spheres.
