FCC has formulated its new Code of Ethics -approved by the Board of Directors on 10 June 2008- with the intent of unifying and reinforcing the Group's identity, culture and patterns of behaviour. The Code of Ethics marks the path to be followed in FCC's activities socially, environmentally and ethically.

This initiative is one way FCC is responding to the commitments to social responsibility and transparency that it made when it joined the United Nations Global Compact and designed the FCC CSR Master Plan.

The ethical principles stated in the Code are meant for all directors, executives and employees of FCC Group companies and must be respected.

The Code states that all employees can use the Group's Intranet to report actions and conduct that they find inappropriate in the light of the Code's principles, confidentially and without fear of reprisals.
