Ethics and compliance

This Code of Ethics guides all of our day-to-day actions, decisions and behaviour within the Company. By integrating these principles into its corporate culture, Nexity and all controlled subsidiaries affirm their commitment to integrity, transparency and accountability.

This Code is to be used as a fundamental point of reference, not only to guarantee compliance with applicable laws, but also to preserve the Group's reputation as a responsible player in its sector. Its purpose is to promote exemplary conduct at all levels, by encouraging everyone to make informed and ethical decisions. 

At Nexity, our success relies on two fundamental pillars: the quality of the projects we design and build to meet our customers' needs, and the trust we inspire in all our stakeholders: partners, suppliers, local authorities and investors.

This trust is intimately linked to our ability to act together with integrity, transparency and respect for the ethical principles that bind us. In addition to the practices we must adhere to, these principles are embodied in our collective commitment to holding ourselves unceasingly accountable in an exemplary manner, in all our decisions and actions.

This Group’s commitment, supported by the extended Executive Management Committee and key management bodies, is set out in clear rules which are the subject of this Anti-Corruption Code of Conduct.

Nexity requires its suppliers, subcontractors, and service providers – whether acting on its behalf or on behalf of its clients – to share the same ethical values and to comply with the principles outlined in this Code, or if more stringent, the applicable legal and regulatory provisions in the countries where the Suppliers conduct their activities.

The Nexity Supplier Ethics Charter is a contractual document which co-contractors undertake to adhere to the principles described therein, and to ensure that their employees, as well as those of their own suppliers and subcontractors, comply with them.

These principles are presented in the following order: Labor, Health and Safety, Environment, Ethics and Prevention of corruption and Influence Peddling, Conflicts of Interest, Confidentiality and Data Protection, Supplier Assessment, and Whistleblowing Procedure.

The Group’s Whistleblowing Procedure allows any employee, or third party directly or indirectly involved in the activities of the Nexity Group to report:

• A crime
• An offence
• A threat or serious harm to the public interest
• A violation or an attempt to conceal a violation of an international commitment duly ratified or approved by France, of a unilateral act of international organisation based on such commitment, of European Union law, or of national laws or regulations
• Any conduct or situation contrary to the Group’s Anti-Corruption Code of Conduct
