Our Code of Ethics sets forth the principles that apply to all EssilorLuxottica employees, and governs the way we conduct our day-to-day business.
It consolidates some of our key principles and “golden rules” that our Group employees are expected to uphold, concerning our respect of people and communities, business ethics, asset protection and respect of human rights and environment.
It expressly refers to the international labor standards (ILO standards), as well as the UN Global Compact Principles on Human Rights.
As a global and responsible Group, EssilorLuxottica expects our business partners (such as suppliers, contractors, distributors or franchisees) to uphold certain ethical and sustainability standards. Complementing the Code of Ethics, our Business Partners' Code of Conduct updates and replaces our former sustainability charter and responsible sourcing principles. It sets out our expectations notably in terms of business ethics, labor, human rights, health & safety as well as environment.
Complementing the Code of Ethics, EssilorLuxottica also has an internal code of conduct through its Anti-Bribery and Corruption policy, and publishes a set of Anti-Bribery & Corruption principles and guidelines which provide more details regarding ethical business conduct and compliance. Committed to building a healthy business environment that is delivered with integrity, transparency and honesty, EssilorLuxottica adopts a policy of zero tolerance to corruption in all of its business activities across the Group.
The group is committed to making continuous improvements to workers' employment and workplace conditions including, but not limited to, the prevention of forced, bonded and trafficked labour. This is supported by the group's policies and initiatives and is endorsed by a committed organisation and leadership. Please read our statement made pursuant to the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015.
