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.

Our Supplier Ethics and CSR Charter is a contractual document that places corporate social responsibility (CSR) issues at the heart of our practices. This Charter formalises these commitments and sets out the principles we expect from our partners in terms of ethics, the environment and social and societal responsibility. It applies to all participants in our value chain.

The Charter is structured around two sequences: Nexity's commitments to its Suppliers and Suppliers' commitments to Nexity. These commitments are based on four main pillars:

• Environment
• Business ethics
• Human rights
• Health and safety

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
