Ethics and transparency
Within the CF group, ethics and transparency are developed in all departments
A code of business conduct
to set the framework
We follow the principle of legality in all actions, measures and contracts; legal and compliant, responsible and fair conduct governs all our professional behaviour.
Our code of conduct explains the values, objectives and principles of the Group’s business actions and is intended to encourage each person, regardless of hierarchical position, to act on their own responsibility and to guide them within ethical and legal boundaries. This code of conduct helps employees and management to avoid legal risks and to deal with critical situations.
As an international company, CF group is subject to a variety of laws and regulations in each country in which we do business. In addition to following all applicable CF group policies, compliance with the laws and regulations of the various jurisdictions in which we operate is, of course, mandatory for all CF group employees. Any violation of the law may result in disciplinary action.
An anti-corruption code of conduct
to guide our teams
In line with our code of ethical conduct, CF group promotes and formalises the rules that apply to all our subsidiaries and their employees. Foremost among these is the fight against corruption and influence peddling.
This fight is of the utmost importance to our group and is in line with the values of loyalty, honesty and transparency that drive us.
It illustrates what corruption is, its forms, its challenges, its risks, and presents rules of good conduct and the disciplinary consequences that flow from them.
This anti-corruption and influence peddling code is applied to all persons bound by a contract to CF group. No one within the group may disregard it, regardless of their hierarchical level.
An internal
reporting system
Our whistleblowing system allows all CF group employees to alert us to situations or behaviour that are contradictory to our ethical principles via their direct or indirect line manager or via a structural e-mail box.
Our purchasing
policy
The group’s purchasing policy integrates sustainability and social responsibility criteria in the selection of our suppliers and the products we buy. It includes requirements for compliance with environmental and social standards, ethics and transparency in supply chains, as well as a preference for fair and local suppliers wherever possible.
