CSR governance
Strong ethics. Clear accountability.
Dedicated committees, Group-wide policies and a protected speak-up system make sure our commitments are applied every day.
Our ethics framework covers anti-corruption, fair competition, embargoes, data protection, information security and the fight against tax evasion – in every country where we operate.
How we govern sustainability
ESG on the executive agenda.
The Global Executive Committee has set up three committees for the Group’s most critical responsibilities. All include the President and meet several times a year.
Global Executive Committee Leads Group-wide strategy and oversees all committees.
Meets weekly and connects Group priorities with the Business Units.
Environmental, Health & Safety Committee Drives our sustainability strategy, targets and policies.
Approves the double materiality assessment, reviews sustainability indicators and non-financial ratings.
Ethics & Compliance Committee Oversees the Code of Conduct, anti-corruption and competition law.
Receives every whistleblowing alert.
Audit Committee Oversees the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control and risk management systems.
Supported by the Group’s Transformation, Performance and Internal Audit function.
Business Units & sites Put policies into practice through local action plans.
Every entity deploys an action plan with specific objectives and reports progress within its scope.
Business conduct
Four pillars of ethical business.
Anchored in our values – we innovate, we are customer centric, we care, we win together – and in our Code of Business Conduct, which every new employee commits to.
People & environment
A safe, respectful and inclusive workplace and environmental protection beyond regulatory requirements where needed.
Zero tolerance for corruption
Strict rules on gifts, hospitality, sponsorship and intermediaries – tightened in 2025 – and fair competition.
Protecting assets & data
Responsible use of assets, confidential know-how and lawful handling of personal data.
Clear procedures
Reporting channels and disciplinary procedures that make our ethical rules enforceable.
Prevention & detection
Trained where the risk is.
Mandatory training targets the roles most exposed to ethical and regulatory risk. From 2026, internal audit will review compliance in every Group entity over four years.
Cybersecurity & data protection
Resilient systems. Protected data.
Our information security policy builds on recognised standards from France’s ANSSI and the US NIST, with dedicated standards for industrial IT. An automated Security Operations Centre supports rapid detection and response, and a Group Data Protection Officer ensures GDPR compliance.
Whistleblowing
Speak up. Safely.
Since 2021, anyone working with SULO Group can report breaches of our Code of Business Conduct or the law – in English, French, German or Spanish. Every alert is handled confidentially and without retaliation, usually within three months.
