COMPLIANCE, ETHICS AND INTEGRITY
Our Corporate Governance ensures integrity through diligent, transparent, and responsible conduct with shareholders, employees, clients, and stakeholders involved in our activities. Integrity is essential to achieving a profitable and sustainable long-term business, while reinforcing the trust of shareholders and stakeholders.
Since 2016, QGMI’s Ethics and Compliance Programme has been vital to achieving the company’s objectives. In a complex and challenging world, we invest in the sustainability of our business with integrity and transparency as fundamental pillars.
This programme is designed to prevent situations that could damage our reputation and is based on recognised global standards. With a structure that permeates the entire organisation, it includes educational and monitoring initiatives that ensure adherence to our values and mission. We promote a corporate ethical culture and responsible decision-making, responding to market challenges.
Notre programme s’articule autour de plusieurs composantes clés:
- Ongoing training: We offer educational programmes and workshops at all levels of the organisation to ensure that every employee understands and acts in accordance with our ethical policies.
- Monitoring and auditing: We implement regular monitoring and auditing processes to identify risks and ensure compliance with our internal and external regulations.
- Ethic Channel: provide secure and confidential channels for employees to report any inappropriate conduct or breaches of policy without fear of retaliation, as well as to receive labour-related and community complaints, among others. This is a reliable channel open to everyone.
- Regular evaluations: We conduct periodic evaluations of the programme to measure its effectiveness and make any necessary adjustments in response to new challenges and changes in the business environment.
The effective implementation of QGMI’s Ethics and Compliance Programme brings numerous benefits:
- Reputation protection: By adhering to high ethical standards, we protect and strengthen our company’s reputation in both local and international markets.
- Stakeholder trust: Ensuring transparent and responsible practices builds trust among our investors, clients, partners, and other stakeholders.
- Risk mitigation: A proactive approach to identifying and managing risks reduces the likelihood of legal and financial penalties.
- Positive organisational culture: Promoting an environment where ethics and integrity are valued fosters a positive and collaborative workplace culture.
