Ethics & Compliance
For the Altrad Group, integrity is an essential condition for conducting business, not only because national and international regulations have increased the risks and negative consequences of illegal or illicit behavior, but also because integrity helps to ensure the Group's stability and sustainability.
Altrad Group defines itself by its values of respect, courage, solidarity, humility and conviviality, values that go hand in hand with its success. All Altrad Group activities are conducted in a transparent and ethical manner, and in compliance with the laws of each country in which the Altrad Group operates, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the UK Bribery Act and the Sapin II Law.
