Code of Ethics

Ethics, integrity and responsibility are central to SOCOTEC's role as a trusted independent third- party.

SOCOTEC Group's requirements

Compliance with local and international laws and regulations plays a key role in the SOCOTEC Group's obligations and awareness programmes. This fundamental principle is a requirement that guarantees the Group's integrity and upholds its reputation.

SOCOTEC's commitment to ethics and transparency is affirmed through its Code of Ethics, which is binding on all of its employees worldwide. This means that every Group company is responsible for ensuring that the Code of Ethics is implemented and enforced, based on the obligations and particularities of its business activities and locations.
An annual message goes out to all employees to ask them to read and sign the Code of Ethics for approval and commitment.

A reporting procedure allows all Group employees and any stakeholder to report any crime, offence or threat to public interest.

An Ethics Committee is tasked with enforcing the Code of Ethics, receiving reports of unethical behavior and overseeing the enforcement of the provisions of anti-corruption laws. It has three members:

The General Counsel, SOCOTEC Group
The Chief HR Officer, SOCOTEC Group
The Group Compliance Officer, SOCOTEC Group
