SUBCONTRACTORS AND SUPPLIERS
The LISI Group is part of a “win-win” sustainable partnership with its
suppliers and subcontractors to ensure mutual, long-term success.
Aside from economic considerations (quality, competitiveness
and continuous improvement), the Suppliers Charter established
by the Group dictates the terms of partnership in accordance with
the principles of ISO 14001, which are addressed during audits for
selecting new suppliers.
Approval and application of the ten principles of the UN Global
Compact program are also part of this Suppliers Charter.
The Group Purchasing Policy includes ethical, sustainable
development and corporate social responsibility aspects with the
application of the Global Compact principles and the principles of ISO
14001 and OHSAS 18001 standards, that need to be complied with, in
particular by our subcontractors and strategic Suppliers.

GENERAL POLICY ADOPTED BY THE LISI GROUP
TO PREVENT AND FIGHT CORRUPTION
The LISI Group has built its growth on compliance with laws and best
practices. Each division is responsible vis-à-vis the Group’s Senior
Management for the proper performance of its subsidiaries and
employees. The LISI Group is intensifying its policy on the prevention
of and fight against corruption: thus in 2017, its actions were inspired
by its membership of the Global Compact and are also in keeping with
the new French legal framework set out by the Sapin II Law. This is in
keeping with the values that the LISI Group upholds.

ACTIONS CARRIED OUT IN 2017 AND ROLL-OUTS
SCHEDULED IN 2018
5.2.1
|
Development of the anti-corruption code of conduct:
The LISI Group has deployed a detailed action plan led by the Group
Legal, Human Resources and internal audit teams. One of the main
actions of the LISI Group relates in particular to the development
of a new “anti-corruption and influence peddling” code of conduct.
It underpins the conduct of its business relations. It is intended
for corporate officers, members of Executive and Management
Committees as well as all employees of the LISI Group. It sets forth
the principles that each employee of the Group must apply in the
conduct of their work. It complements the rules, procedures ad
standards defined in each country and to which employees must
continue to refer. Any person acting on behalf of LISI is required to
comply with this code of conduct, regardless of the place and nature
of his/her work. The LISI Group also ensures that its partners share
these values. The LISI Group places a high importance on behaving
in a flawless manner with its stakeholders. This code of conduct will
apply from 2018 after consultation, for the concerned subsidiaries,
with employee representative bodies.

Method of deployment of the whistleblowing system
The LISI Group is finalizing the development of its alert system
which will also apply from 2018, like its code of conduct. The method
of deployment chosen is a collection of alerts through internal
management: it meets the legal requiremens since it is a secure
system which protects the whistleblower. The management of
alerts will be under the responsibility of the Compliance Committee.
This Committee is made up of three departments: the Group Legal
Director, the Group Human Resources Manager and the Internal Audit
Manager. It is chaired by the Group Deputy CEO, who is also a member
of the Audit Committee. The employment contracts of this team will
be amended to provide for an enhanced confidentiality clause. In
early 2018, the Compliance Committee will follow a training course
on the management of alerts in order to acquire the necessary
expertise: the training will be provided by two members of the NGO
Transparency International (TI), who are expert in the collection of
alerts.
5.2.3
|
Work initiated on the identification of the risk level
associated with corruption
In the last quarter of 2017, the LISI Group initiated work identification
of the risk level associated with corruption. This work will continue
in 2018 through the assessment of risks on two levels: firstly,
exposure by country (TI framework) where the LISI Group conducts
business; secondly, the nature of business relations maintained by
the LISI Group.
5.2.4
|
Consideration of the training models to roll out
The LISI Group implements its system to fight corruption by giving
information to its employees through a communication kit which will
be distributed as soon as its code of conduct is applied. Employees
most exposed to possible corruption practices will follow training
under e-learning as from 2018. The number of employees concerned
by this training module is estimated at around 800.
