ETHICS AND COMPLIANCE – PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION

3.5.5

Since 11September 2018, the Supervisory Board’s rules of procedure have included duties relating to the system for the prevention and detection of corruption and influence‑peddling (Article 1.1.3.2), following the revision of the Afep‑Medef Code in June 2018. As a result, on 16November 2018, the Audit and Risk Committee was assigned a new duty relating to the prevention of corruption: “ensure the implementation of a system for the prevention and detection of corruption and influence‑peddling”. On 19March 2019, it was accordingly renamed the “Audit and Risk Committee”. Since 2021, the Supervisory Board has delegated the regular review of the anti‑corruption system to the Audit and Risk Committee.

3.5.5.1 The systems implemented in the Group are described in chapter 2 “Corporate social responsibility and non‑financial performance”, §2.8. ETHICS AND COMPLIANCE – ROLE AND TRAINING OF THE BOARD AND COMMITTEES Ethics and compliance issues as well as the related programmes have been shared regularly with the Supervisory Board since 2015. It is regularly informed about the ethics and compliance programmes and on the progress of the corruption prevention plan within the Group in compliance with law no. 2016‑1691 of 9December 2016, known as “Sapin II”.
