Code of Conduct

Code of ethics:

Avisa Partners works with government authorities, SMEs and MNCs, investment funds, trade associations, law firms, banks, international organizations and individuals. As the projects entrusted to our group are often sensitive and confidential, it is expected that all partners and collaborators respect the following ethical principles:

CONFIDENTIALITY
The group is committed to protecting any confidential information that comes to its attention. Such confidential information does not include information obtained from third parties by legal means, information whose use or disclosure to an identified and clearly defined third party has been previously and expressly authorized in writing, or information whose disclosure is required by applicable law or regulation.

TRANSPARENCY
The Group undertakes to respect and follow all guidelines required by public authorities from actors whose activities, which sometimes involve contact with decision-makers, particularly political decision-makers, are regulated.

COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS
The group undertakes to comply with the laws applicable in the countries in which it operates, and to use its human and technical resources on the sole condition that the proposed missions comply with its ethical principles. Any partner or collaborator who becomes aware of a case of non-compliance must immediately notify the group's general management.

PROTECTION OF EMPLOYEES
The Group is committed to protecting the integrity of its employees, their capacity for initiative, their professional autonomy, their sense of responsibility and their motivation. Any act of harassment or discrimination, either during the hiring process or during their stint with the Group, will not be tolerated. All our employees are urged to report any misconduct, criminal activity or fraud they are aware of to their managers or competent authorities.

SELECTION OF CLIENTS AND MISSIONS
Prior to each new contractual commitment, Avisa Partners convenes its ethics committee in order to approve the group's ability to commit to a new client or a new mission. The Ethics Committee is made up of the company's corporate officers, who are responsible under the law, certain managers or group executives as well as third party persons.
Cases that could damage the Group's reputation, that are perceived to be contrary to the best interests of the French nation, that conflict with other prior commitments, that promote an operation of an electoral nature or whose conduct is in breach of applicable laws are refused.
