The concept of corporate governance
Principles of corporate governance
Corporate governance is all about the arrangements made to lead and monitor a business. It is determined primarily by owners and laws. Good corporate governance ensures that a business is managed responsibly, transparently and with a focus on long-term success. Implenia's corporate governance principles and rules are set out in its Articles of Association and Organisational Regulations. Rules on acceptable business practices and standards of behaviour for all Implenia employees are set out in its Code of Conduct. Implenia's priority is to maintain confidence and trust in the company among investors, customers, employees and the general public.
You can learn more about corporate governance in the current Annual Report.

Code of Conduct
Building ethically
Implenia acts responsibly. Its employees know that their day-to-day actions create Implenia's image and determine whether the company is trusted or not. The Code of Conduct sets out Implenia's underlying principles. It governs the way employees interact with each other, with business partners and with the authorities.
As well as complying with all the relevant laws, Implenia also follows additional ethical standards. Our Code of Conduct, Sustainability Guidelines and social commitments influence the way we work; but we also require our partners, subcontractors and suppliers to live up to the same standards. We document our actions transparently.
Implenia's basic principles also include the commitment to protect its own employees from physical danger, sexual harassment and discrimination. A zero tolerance policy on alcohol and other substances that can affect judgement applies right across the company.
Implenia and all its employees treat customer and employee data with the greatest of care. Implenia is also committed to fight corruption. This commitment includes a re-sponsible approach to gifts.
The rules set out in the Code of Conduct are binding throughout Implenia. Infringements will be met by sanctions.
Promoting a culture of speaking out with no fear of retaliation
Implenia supports a culture that encourages every individual to speak out freely and to report potential misconduct. We therefore encourage anyone who witnesses or experiences any misconduct in a work-related context to come forward and to raise their concerns. You can report potential breaches of the Implenia Code of Conduct as well as of applicable laws and regulations. This may include actions that cause serious damage to the environment, situations that jeopardise public health or the health and safety of individuals, any unsafe working environment, breaches of human rights, including harassment (sexual, racial or other abuse/discrimination), child labour and actual or threatened physical violence, corruption or other criminal offences, including bribery, conflicts of interest, breaches of competition law etc.
As a whistleblower, you are protected from retaliation when reporting a potential violation. This protection is also extended to other people who are closely associated with you, such as family members.
