Lyreco code of ethics
Our Code of Ethics is an expression of who we are and how we do business at Lyreco. It applies in all our activities, wherever we operate, at any time.
It relies on 4 guiding principles : our people, our business integrity, product excellence and societal commitment.
Our people
At Lyreco, we strive to promote an ethical People & Culture policy, providing a healthy and safe environment and fostering Respect as a key value among all our practices.
Business integrity
We put customer excellence at the heart of Lyreco's performance, with zero tolerance on any form of corruption, fraud, conflict of interest or influence peddling.
Our employees as well as our business partners are asked to follow a strict policy on gifts and invitations.
Products and assets
At Lyreco, we ensure that all the products we deliver to our customers meet the highest standards in terms of quality, safety and environment.
We work exclusively with business partners sharing the same ambitions for product excellence.
Our societal commitment
Protecting our environment and our natural resources and fighting against climate change are longstanding commitments within Lyreco’s values.
We strive to concretely act by adopting a CSR approach, by raising our colleagues and business partners' awareness on more responsible practices, offering our customers products and solutions that are always more sustainable and by continuously improving our operational processes.
Raising awareness
Ensuring strict adherence to ethical business practices in all Lyreco activities, by all employees and with all our business partners is an ongoing concern.
In 2020, Lyreco has therefore strengthened its ethics and compliance management and communication process, through an extended Ethics and Compliance Committee, the nomination of a Group Compliance officer and dedicated Ethics Referents in all Lyreco subsidiaries, a reinforced Code of Ethics and Business conduct and the improvement of the “Raise your concern” system.
Ask questions and raise your concerns help us to protect our culture of integrity
Our common purpose is to prevent and detect any ethical breach so that Lyreco may take the appropriate measures, remedy the situation and ensure that the behaviors and actions of Lyreco are fully consistent with our values.
Our Raise your concern tool is available for all Lyreco employees and external partners. We encourage you to discuss, ask for advice, raise questions, share your concerns and report any actual or potential ethical breach.
