At Applus+, we respect the human rights of each person we have a relationship with, whether they are employees or a third party. This is enshrined in the Applus+ Code of Ethics, created in accordance with the United Nations’ Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) guiding principles for multinational companies, the International Finance Corporation’s (IFC) performance standards, and the 10 Principles of the UN Global Compact.  

This commitment goes beyond the professionals who are a part of the company and includes those involved throughout the value chain, as well as those communities where we operate, including indigenous communities. Applus+ also commits to providing special attention to vulnerable groups.  

Our objective is to establish principles and action guidelines that allow the identification, prevention, mitigation and reparation of any negative impact from the company’s operations and our commercial relationships, both current or potential, as well as increasing the positive consequences of our operations.

Applus+ is committed to:

Our Code of Ethics provides the highest regulatory level within the Applus+ Group, and the Policy develops an essential part of the Code. Anyone who violates our Code, and this Policy in particular, could endanger the company and may therefore be subject to disciplinary measures and/or legal sanctions.

All stakeholders – both internal and external – must inform of any breaches to our commitment and policies through the Ethics & Compliance Communication Channel.

The Applus+ Ethics & Compliance Communications Channel allows employees, clients and other stakeholders to ask questions and raise concerns confidentially. There will be no reprisal of any kind against those who raise questions through this channel.
