Strong Ethics & a Well-known Code of Conduct
For Aperam, it is essential that all employees are fully aware and aligned with our Corporate Governance and Compliance framework and that a zero tolerance for non-compliant behaviour is achieved. As a result, the Company invests a lot of effort in making sure all of its numerous policies are well understood, from insider dealing to anti-trust, economic sanctions, conflict of interest and anti-discrimination (see all our policies below).
Beyond regulations, Aperam also ensures that our ethics, as described in our Code of Conduct, are well understood and applied at all times.
The Highest Standards in Governance
The company aims to continuously improve its Corporate Governance and Compliance framework in line with the industry’s highest standards. This why most of our policies have been recently updated, with a particular focus on training and communications.

We also address all topics and dilemmas with a Compliance Committee chaired by our CFO. Using this approach, we can establish a culture of sustainable Business Ethics and Compliance.
