Controlling risk in our business relationships
Each and every employee who collaborates with or works at our company has to follow our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. We are committed to controlling risk in the management of our suppliers and contractors, corporate security, and our relationships with business partners.
In addition, we do everything in our power to prevent their activities or decisions from having negative human rights consequences and, if they do, to remedy the harm caused.
We establish control standards levels with:
Suppliers and contractors
Partners
Corporate Security
We promote respect for human rights by suppliers, contractors, and distributors, and we check that our business relationships' conduct is in line with our commitments through our selection, rating, and monitoring processes. Our system identifies economic, technical, social, ethical, and environmental risks in the different stages of the business relationships we build. When a supplier or contractor fails to comply with our principles, they are not authorized to participate in calls for proposals and cannot be awarded orders or contracts.
