Business ethics and compliance

Clear rules for our business relationships and a confidential channel for employees and stakeholders to raise concerns.
RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS

Acting responsibly with third parties

We are committed to integrity, fairness and transparency in our relationships with customers, suppliers, partners and public authorities. We do not tolerate corruption, influence peddling or unfair business practices.

Our compliance program supports applicable anti-corruption and anti-bribery requirements, including the French Sapin II law. It includes third-party due diligence, conflict-of-interest management, and controls over gifts and hospitality.

These principles are set out in our Group Code of Conduct and extended, where relevant, to business partners through our Supplier Code of Conduct.

Our whistleblowing system is designed to allow concerns to be raised confidentially and without fear of retaliation. Reports are reviewed by our Compliance function, with oversight from the relevant committees, and followed up with corrective or remedial action where needed.
