Who we are
Business ethics and integrity
Acting with respect and integrity is one of our core values. Treating someone with respect means behaving towards them in a way that shows you understand their worth, dignity and uniqueness. It is a fundamental element in professional relationships and ethical conduct. Behaving with integrity means consistently acting according to certain values and moral principles.
We have created policies to ensure we do business in an honest and proper manner, in full compliance with all national rules and regulations, to secure the long-term future of our organisation.
Ensuring ethical behaviour and legal compliance within our organization
Recticel Group is committed to respecting the highest ethical standards and legal compliance when conducting its business. Recticel Group therefore expects its shareholders, managers, employees, self-employed service providers and contractors to act responsibly, to ensure respect for the individual and the environment and to respect and comply at all times with all applicable national and international laws and regulations, internal policies and company values.
The Recticel Group Code of Conduct sets out the general principles with regard to ethical behaviour and legal compliance.

Furthermore, we have created corporate policies, which are further detailed in the Recticel Business Control Guide. The Guide provides more specific guidelines on, for instance, purchasing, tax, treasury matters, accounting policies, investment approval and HR procedures.
Living compliance
Corporate compliance is embedded in all our policies. We have developed guidelines for awareness creation, templates to report compliance issues, whistleblowing procedures and speak-up lines enabling employees and workers to address issues in a variety of ways.

Other measures include:
- A Compliance Committee to address issues such as fraud, theft and bullying
- Various ways for Recticel employees to speak up and report issues, either directly or anonymously
- Detailed internal audits of Recticel plants conducted, on average, every three years. The audit focuses on one main process-based aspect but also checks understanding of elements such as the Group Code of Conduct and Whistleblowing policy.
Compliance training
Ongoing training is one way in which Recticel aims to ensure compliance throughout the organisation. We offer e-learning modules and face-to-face seminars on intellectual property, confidentiality, competition law, global data protection, basic contract law and product liability.
