Our guiding principles
Our Code of Ethics conforms to the request made by the United Nations “to embrace, support and enact a set of core values in the areas of human rights, labour standards, the environment and the fight against corruption”, codified in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in the International Labour Organization Declaration on the fundamental principles and rights at work and in Global Compact’s Ten Principles on Human Rights, Labour, the Environment and Anti-corruption. As a Global Corporate Member of the WEC – World Employment Confederation, we have adopted the WEC Code of Conduct and identify with the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.
"Through our work, we endeavour to contribute to the efforts that everybody makes to build an initial happiness."
In this context, our Code of Ethics sets out the values and principles that the Group (hereinafter “Gi Group”) has adopted when conducting its business and in its dealings and relationships with all its stakeholders.
