Compliance & Ethics

To prevent and detect corruption in our operations we have designed and implemented a comprehensive Anti-Corruption Compliance Program. It is also focused on compliance with our Code of Conduct and related topics, including financial integrity, competition and fair dealing, and conflicts of interest.

Our values are important to us and form the basis for how we work as an organization. ContourGlobal is an organization committed to conducting business responsibly and with the highest levels of integrity. Whether generating electricity in underserved markets or developing sophisticated technologies in Europe, the manner in which we grow and conduct our business matters as much as the number of megawatts we generate or the revenues that we produce. Responsible business operations require consistently playing by the rules, and we expect everyone at ContourGlobal and everyone with whom we work with to behave legally and ethically at all times.

We train responsible global citizens

We regularly train our employees and certain of our business partner on our values, spotting and responding to potential concerns, and how to act as responsible global citizens. Training is adapted to employee function and position in the company. In addition to periodic in-person training, all employees are required to take an online anti-corruption course upon joining the company.

When in doubt, reach out!

Our commitment to ethical business practices includes encouraging employees and third parties to report any integrity or compliance-related concerns without fear of retaliation. Reports may be either made directly to our Chief Compliance Officer or anonymously via the ContourGlobal EthicsLine, a multilingual service operated by Navex Global, an independent third party. The ContourGlobal Ethics line allows employees and third parties to report suspected wrongdoing or improper behavior. Every report will be investigated and addressed.
