Supplier Relations Charter

Since 2010, Eiffage has been signed up to the responsible supplier relations and responsible purchasing charter.

This charter requires the appointment of a small and medium enterprise (SME) correspondent to facilitate mediation with the Group in the event of a dispute following a challenge from a supplier.

Eiffage has created a dedicated email address to facilitate mediation with the Group in the event of a dispute following a challenge from a supplier. This approach is part of the “Business Ombudsman” scheme (Essoc Law, article 36).

Preventing corruption (Sapin II Law)
Within the Group, it is formally prohibited to offer or accept inappropriate payments, or to grant unfounded incentives to anyone, directly or via a third party, with the aim of obtaining favourable treatment or influencing the outcome of a negotiation.

Duty of care
The French law on duty of care dated 27/03/2017 requires the implementation of a vigilance plan to identify and prevent the risk of serious harm to the environment, personal health and safety, human rights, and fundamental liberties by suppliers with which an ongoing business relationship exists.

CSR & Suppliers
All suppliers and subcontractors under framework contracts with the Eiffage Group must complete a CSR assessment. This covers various elements such as equal opportunities, respect for individuals, safety and accident prevention policy, ethical business risks, and environmental issues.
