Our Ethics and Compliance policy
Our guide: the Kompliance programme
Keolis adopted Its compliance programme in 2013. Known as "Kompliance", this programme uses simple and practical terms to describe the right behaviour as well as what is forbidden, both by law and by the Keolis Group's ethical business standards. It enables each employee to adopt the right attitude on a daily basis, in order to prevent and manage risks they might be confronted with.
The four pillars of our "Kompliance" programme
1A dedicated organisation, with an Ethics & Compliance Committee that brings together representatives from all Keolis Group entities and a network of correspondents tasked with encouraging the dissemination of the ethics & compliance culture and the programme's guidelines
2Training: an e-learning module on preventing corruption, "governance and business ethics" modules included in the induction programme for new employees
3Practical tools and documentation, accessible to all employees: two reference documents, the "Keolis Group Guide for Ethical Business Conduct" and the "Code of Conduct for the Prevention of Corruption and Conflicts of Interest", as well as reference guides dedicated to the three key areas of the programme
4A professional whistleblowing system for employees as well as internal and external partners: Keolis Ethic Line (link down below)
"Kompliance", a programme focused on three main areas:
1 - The strict respect of free and fair competition
2 - The prevention of corruption and fraud
3 - The protection of personal data
For each field of action, the Kompliance programme specifies the fundamental principles to be respected, prohibited practices and daily check points.
