5. Ethics 5.1.2 Code of Ethics GEODIS adopted a Code of Ethics back in 2009, which is the cornerstone of the Group’s ethics and compliance system. Outlining the Company’s values and commitments, it applies to all employees (including temporary or external workers present within the Group) as well as to members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board. The management of each GEODIS entity is responsible for circulating the Code of Ethics and the associated internal policies within their organizations, in particular the policy against corruption and in uence peddling, the policy for free and fair competition, and the policy on entering into relationships with third parties called “Know Your Business Partner”. They also ensure that these policies are familiar to all employees in their entities and that they are enforced. Training program The GEODIS Code of Ethics is the focus of a dedicated training program targeting all Group employees with a computer workstation and access to the e-learning platform (i.e., a population of 27,167 employees still active on December 31, 2023). Training must be provided within one month of the arrival of new employees, and must be refreshed every two years. It includes modules covering all the subjects covered by the Code of Ethics. A certificate is awarded on successful completion of the final test. As of December 31, 2023, 20,026 employees (73.71%(1) in the target population) had completed the Code of Ethics training program.
