Ethics, compliance and data protection: our guiding principles

Code of Ethics: zero tolerance, everywhere and for everyone

ENGIE’s Code of Ethics sets out the essential rules that every employee and entity must apply across all our activities and in all interactions with our stakeholders. It reflects our commitment to human rights, strict compliance with legal and regulatory frameworks, and the integration of environmental considerations into our operations. This commitment to exemplary conduct excludes any form of corruption or fraud.

Human rights: vigilance embedded in all our activities

ENGIE places the protection of people at the heart of its commitments and works to identify, prevent and manage risks related to human rights impacts arising from its activities. Our approach is based on international standards to protect the fundamental rights of workers, local communities and all our stakeholders. This vigilance policy ensures that any identified incident is subject to rigorous monitoring and appropriate corrective measures.

ENGIE’s vigilance plan: a comprehensive prevention and monitoring framework

In accordance with the French Duty of Vigilance law, ENGIE’s vigilance plan sets out all measures designed to identify, prevent and mitigate serious risks related to human rights, fundamental freedoms, health and safety, and the environment.

It is structured around four areas of vigilance – Human Rights, Environmental and societal, Health and Safety and Security, and Procurement – and is overseen by the Ethics, Compliance & Privacy Department.

This cross-functional framework includes the systematic assessment of our subsidiaries and suppliers, as well as ongoing coordination with the relevant ENGIE departments. ENGIE ensures its implementation through continuous dialogue with its stakeholders, particularly within the framework of its Global Agreement on Fundamental Rights.

Personal data: protection policy

ENGIE is committed to ensuring optimal protection of the personal data of its employees, customers and suppliers. This approach, supported by a dedicated governance framework including Data Protection Officers, ensures that our data processing activities comply with international regulations, notably through our Binding Corporate Rules (BCR).

Whistleblowing system: a secure reporting channel for all

ENGIE provides employees and all its stakeholders with a secure whistleblowing system. It guarantees the confidentiality of reports and enables individuals to raise concerns about any behavior that is inconsistent with our ethical principles or applicable laws.
