BESIX recognises ethical and responsible business practices as a cornerstone of its sustainability approach.
The Group's General Code of Conduct provides a comprehensive framework that covers important areas such as corporate governance, ethics, human rights, business conduct, health & safety, environmental responsibility, and human resources management. It is in line with international frameworks and current ISO certification standards.
This Code is included in prequalification and tender documents for most of BESIX's entities, showing the Group's strong commitment to ethical excellence.
It gives clear guidance to employees, partners, and stakeholders, ensuring that everyone understands their role in maintaining high professional and ethical standards. It also requires that any violations of the law be reported to the Group Sustainability & ESG Officer.
Fostering a culture of integrity
BESIX believes that by teaching employees about ethics and giving them ways to report problems, it can create a workplace where everyone acts honestly and openly. Therefore, a comprehensive awareness campaign, including mandatory e-learning, has been implemented throughout the Group. This campaign empowers employees to make informed decisions and report any unethical behaviour.
