A Zero-Tolerance policy toward corruption

The Anti-corruption code reflects and upholds our zero-tolerance commitment to corruption. Serving as an international reference for our employees in the fight against corruption and influence peddling, this code is strongly endorsed by EPC’s leadership, ensuring its thorough dissemination and rigorous application.

A policy applicable to all employees

The Anti-corruption code applies to all EPC Groupe employees, without exception, regardless of their position or geographic location.Upon joining the Groupe, every employee is provided with a copy of this code, which they commit to respecting, thus demonstrating collective adherence to the Groupe’s values.

Closely aligned with the corruption risk mapping, our code clearly defines corruption, its implications, and its various forms, to raise awareness of the behaviors that must be adopted.

Clear and strict rules for all

The gifts and invitations policy complements the Anti-corruption code by establishing strict rules regarding hospitality received or offered in a professional context. It applies to all employees and partners acting on behalf of the Groupe, ensuring practices are aligned with our values.

Guidelines for ethical and responsible choices

The gifts and invitations policy includes concrete examples to guide each employee in their decisions, ensuring that these decisions adhere to our standards of integrity. It aims to promote ethical decision-making, taking into account the professional context, and encourages consultation with management when necessary.

EPC's code of business best practices establishes a common foundation of commitments related to human, social, and environmental rights.

A universally applicable code

This code of business best practices applies to all EPC subsidiaries and employees worldwide, both internally and in their relationships with subcontractors, suppliers, and other third parties.

EPC Groupe maintains business relationships with numerous suppliers, who are essential partners in our responsible purchasing approach. We aim to foster collaboration with suppliers who align with our values in terms of sustainable development, ethics, and social responsibility.

Partnerships aligned with these values

EPC Groupe, therefore, places special emphasis on selecting suppliers who fully adhere to its high standards of integrity, environmental respect, and human rights protection

A charter reflecting this commitment

The responsible purchasing charter embodies this commitment by defining the ethical, environmental, and social criteria expected from suppliers and the value chain. This document sets the collaboration rules that each supplier must follow to ensure a responsible supply chain.

The EPC Groupe whistleblowing system allows all our employees, business partners, and other stakeholders to report any behavior that violates laws, regulations, or our ethical principles.

Our reporting platform

Accessible 24/7, our online reporting platform enables individuals to submit reports in complete confidentiality and security.

Groupe ethics committee

The EPC Groupe ethics committee is primarily responsible for receiving and overseeing the handling of alerts. Composed of members from the Groupe's executive management, the ethics committee reflects the strong commitment of the governing body to business ethics.

A key pillar of our commitment

The awareness and training system, tailored for all employees, is a crucial lever in EPC's commitment to ethics and compliance. Through this system, each member of EPC Groupe has the resources they need to act in accordance with the company’s values and requirements.

Every EPC Groupe employee receives regular awareness sessions on the Group's ethics and compliance principles.Employees most exposed to risks, as identified by the corruption risk mapping, are provided with in-depth, targeted training.

• Corporate

Ethics, integrity and transparency at the core of our commitment

It is both possible and essential to reconcile rigorous management with exemplary practices, safety with profitability, and growth with ethics. This is why it is crucial for everyone to understand their responsibilities and commit to applying and enforcing the Groupe's principles of business conduct.
