Ethics and compliance

Ethics is one of the pillars of our commitment. We thrive to promote integrity and transparency both in business and in our day-to-day interactions.

Scalian declares zero tolerance for corruption

In 2017, as a responsible and ethical group, we decided to become an active member of the United Nations Global Compact, confirming our commitment to fighting corruption. Our anti-corruption compliance programme and policy reflect this commitment to act against all forms of corruption, including extortion and bribery.

Group compliance policy on anti-corruption

We are totally committed to promoting integrity, transparency and compliance within our organisation. Corruption in any form compromises our values and reputation and is unacceptable in our business. We are committed to the following:

Zero Tolerance

We adopt a zero tolerance policy towards all forms of corruption, wheter active or passive, within the Group and our partners.

Exemplary Leadership

The whistleblowing platform

Scalian has set up a reporting platform for any suspected breaches of our policies. This whistleblowing platform guarantees strict confidentiality regarding the identity of the person or persons making the report, the individuals implicated in the report, and the details of the report itself. No member of the Scalian Group or external stakeholder may be disciplined or subjected to discriminatory measures for making a report.

How do I make a report?
Employees and external stakeholders can make a report by logging into the IntegrityLine platform, which is accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from outside the organisation, without going through Scalian’s internal information system. It allows reports to be submitted anonymously.

Who can submit a report?
Any Scalian employee can use the platform, whether they are a permanent employee, a temporary worker, an intern or an apprentice. It is also accessible to all external stakeholders.
