Covéa ethics charter sets out the reference framework and rules of good conduct, shared by all Group employees and our corporate officers (directors, executives).
This attention to business ethics is also reflected in the existence of an anti-bribery system based on a number of measures, including:
- A corruption risk mapping.
- An Anti-Bribery Code of Conduct, appended to the company's internal regulations, which sets out the rules to be respected, particularly in our relations with third parties.
- A disciplinary system to punish breaches of this code.
- A register of gifts and invitations and a register of conflicts of interest for employees.
- A third-party integrity assessment.
- Anti-corruption accounting controls.
- Training for employees most exposed to the risk of corruption.
Finally, an internal whistleblowing platform enables employees and external stakeholders to confidentially report criminal offences, breaches of regulations or of the Covéa’s Anti-Bribery Code of Conduct, as well as risks of serious harm covered by the duty of vigilance.
Covéa seeks to guide everyone towards a world of sustainable growth and we strive to have an impact on society that is more significant, more inclusive and more concrete.
