Transparency and Integrity
Anyone who becomes aware of or suspects any violation, illegal activity, inappropriate behavior, or similar issue may report it not only to the Corporate Compliance Officer but also through the following available channels.
These channels may be used both to report any breach of applicable laws and/or internal regulations and to request guidance regarding issues that may arise during the organization's activities. Confidentiality is guaranteed at all times, as well as protection against retaliation for submitting a report.
Corporate Compliance Program
The organization is firmly committed to complying with the highest standards of corporate ethics. Since March 30, 2017, it has maintained a Corporate Compliance Program that is periodically reviewed by highly respected external advisors. The program includes an organized set of measures designed to establish an environment for the prevention, detection, and proactive management of risks. It focuses particularly on preventing criminal offenses and violations of competition law, among other matters, ensuring the highest level of integrity in all business practices.
The company adheres to the VINCI standards, which define the principles shared by all employees and business partners. These core values are set out in the following five reference documents:
- The Code of Ethics and Conduct, which establishes the principles of business ethics that must be applied in different circumstances and in every country where the company operates.
- It is used together with the Anti-Corruption Code of Conduct, which includes rules aimed at preventing all forms of corruption by identifying risks in business processes and defining the behaviors that must be avoided.
- The Human Rights Guide, which summarizes potential risks and their implications for businesses while defining a common set of guidelines for addressing human rights issues.
- These guidelines are based on the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the eight fundamental conventions of the International Labour Organization (ILO), and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. They also include the Statement on Essential and Fundamental Actions in Occupational Health and Safety, reflecting the shared commitment to achieving the goal of "Zero Accidents". This declaration results from constructive and ongoing social dialogue. As part of a policy of continuous improvement, it affirms that progress can only be achieved with the participation of all employees by promoting a strong safety culture.
- The Environmental Guidelines, which provide a framework designed to minimize the risks and environmental impacts of business activities. All companies must follow these guidelines to continuously improve and adapt their actions and procedures in order to protect and preserve the environment wherever they operate. Each subsidiary is responsible for ensuring that its business partners make similar efforts throughout the entire life cycle of every project.
