BNP Paribas pays close attention to the concerns of its employees, customers, shareholders, suppliers and the company as a whole. The Group is determined to listen to them, to understand them and to seek to address them in a fair and effective manner.
This is why the Group's commitment continues to be strengthened to prevent, detect and combat any unethical behaviour, any violation of laws, regulations, Code of conduct or internal policies/procedures.
The Speak-up culture is an essential tool for maintaining a secured work environment, ensuring the compliance of our actions with the Group's standards and contributing to strengthen the trust of our employees, customers, shareholders and partners.
Thus, any situation contrary to laws, regulations, Code of conduct or internal policies/procedures should be reported, and will be treated impartially, independently and confidentially by the Compliance Whistleblowing Referents or the HR Conduct Referents “Respect for persons”.
The Group is determined to change inappropriate behaviours and to sanction their authors whoever they are (hierarchical level, professional performance). The full range of sanctions locally in force is used and applied according to the seriousness of the reported and established facts, from a written warning to dismissal.
