Ethics and Compliance

Our Codes of conduct

"At Roquette, we have always been committed to offering the best products and services, which is why today we are recognized as one of the world leaders in our sector. For over 80 years now, our culture of integrity and ethical behavior has maintained this reputation, which is the driving force behind our growth.

The success of our business relies on the confidence of our customers, partners and shareholders – a confidence that is difficult to earn but easy to lose. In the past few years, how many powerful, famous companies damaged their reputation due to actions that failed to respect any ethical rules?

Times are changing, and we must accompany this change and move forward while always looking ahead.

This Code of Conduct further develops the principles related to our values. As a founding pillar of our value system, it is given to each of the company's employees and made available to our partners. It must serve us as a guide and source of inspiration to adopt the appropriate conduct in all circumstances.

I expect each of you to respect and promote the principles in this Code of Conduct, in order to maintain our reputation as a company of integrity. I am convinced that, with your support, our company will continue to grow, with dignity and in an ethical manner, thus ensuring the preservation of a work environment of which we can all be proud."
