A code of conduct for zero-tolerance
Corruption and fraud are strictly prohibited
No form of corruption or influence peddling, no matter how minor, will be tolerated. This includes: payments made to a public authority to expedite an action, involvement in political financing, issuing unjustified invoices, and professional opportunities (including internships) outside HR procedures.
Human rights must be respected
In line with our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy, the Group condemns all forms of discrimination. Forced or child labor is prohibited. Freedom of association is respected, and local communities must be systematically taken into consideration.
Environmental protection is a commitment that binds us
Environmental protection is at the core of the Group’s concerns and of its CSR commitments. Failing to conduct an impact assessment, whether environmental or societal, only doing so partially, or accepting suppliers’ practices that compromise our sustainability commitments, all breach our commitments.
Laws and regulations apply to each of us
Respecting international sanctions, export control rules, and competition are fundamental principles, regardless of where we operate. Any agreement that restricts, favors, or penalizes competition is prohibited. Protecting the company, its employees, and its assets (personal data, sensitive information, intellectual property) is imperative.
Integrity and loyalty guide our relationships with third parties
In continuous interaction with public and semi-public authorities, ENGIE’s standards towards the quality of the projects it supports, the beneficiaries of its actions and the honest and transparent relationships it has with its stakeholders are very high. Any unethical attempt to influence a third party, any sponsorship activity undertaken in the context of a competitive bidding process or contract renewal, is a violation of the transparency rules that bind us.
Our daily roadmap
For everyone to become familiar with this ethics code of conduct and implement it, we identified four action priorities:
Commit at all levels
ENGIE’s ethical commitment and exemplarity principle apply to all employees without exception. Executives and managers play a key role through their own conduct and by ensuring that their teams comply with ENGIE’s ethics code of conduct.
Inform, train and prevent
To combat corruption, all employees, especially those particularly exposed to this risk, must be aware of and trained on the overall «due diligence» policy (knowledge and assessment of third parties) to prevent unethical situations. The use of business consultants, service providers and suppliers is governed by strict rules and is subject to verifications prior to any involvement.
Report and seek support
All employees facing an unethical situation should not stay isolated and should report the incident to their management. If it is not possible to refer the matter to management or to the entity’s Ethics & Compliance Officer, a whistleblowing system is available at Group level.
Sanction
Our zero-tolerance principle requires that any breach of the principles set out in our Ethics Code of Conduct will result in sanctions. Sanctions will be applied by the manager or the entity of the concerned employee. Any act of corruption will result in dismissal.
