a fundamental document: the Group’s Code of Ethics

In 2003, the Board of France Telecom adopted a Group Code of Ethics.

The Code sets out the Group’s values and principles of action with regard to its customers, shareholders, employees, suppliers and competitors, and also with regard to the environment and countries in which the Group operates. It also sets out a certain number of principles relating to individual behaviour with which each employee, manager and director is expected to comply.

This Code of Ethics – the cornerstone of the Group’s ethics policy – is one of the basic sets of principles governing the Group’s operation, along those of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Labour Organization (ILO), the United Nations Global Compact and the guiding principles of the OECD for multinational corporations.
