a founding document: the Group’s Code of Ethics

The France Telecom Board of Directors adopted a Group-wide Code of Ethics in 2003. 

The Code sets out the Group’s actions with regard to its customers, shareholders, employees, suppliers and competitors, and also with regard to the environment and countries in which the Group operates.

It also sets out a certain number of principles relating to individual behaviour with which each employee, manager and director is expected to comply.

This Code of Ethics is an integral part of the Group’s guiding principles along with those of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Labour Organization (ILO), the United Nations Global Compact and the guiding principles of the OECD for multinational corporations.
