LFB Ethical principles
Prevention of corruption at LFB
The LFB Anticorruption Code of conduct
In carrying out its public health mission, LFB is committed to acting with integrity and responsibility towards all its partners. To this end, LFB has implemented an anti-corruption program based on zero tolerance for any practice that undermines the fight against corruption and other breaches of integrity. Applicable to all LFB employees and partners, both in France and internationally, this code, translated into several languages, is LFB’s reference document for the prevention and detection of corruption, breaches of integrity, and influence peddling:
- Spanish version: código de conducta anticorrupción de LFB.
- German version: Korruptions bekampfung Verhaltensregel die LFB.
The anti-corruption code of conduct is one of the major tools of this programme.
It is supplemented by a training program, which employees exposed to corruption risks must follow upon their arrival and throughout their career at LFB.
