Social dialogue, ethical behaviour and solidarity

Teams

Encourage social dialogue

We created an atmosphere conducive to social dialogue because we believe in the freedom of association and support the right to collective negotiation in the countries where it exists:

Freedom of association and respect of groups: we ensure our partners respect their employees right to join a legal association or not with no fear of reprisal
Agreements aiming to guarantee the well-being of our staff: agreement on social dialogue and agreement on professional equality

Ethical working practices

The Gerflor ethics charter - handed to each employee when they join the Group - defines a framework for the behaviour of all the stakeholders (staff, suppliers, distributors, temporary workers, etc). Through this ethics charter, Gerflor commits to enforcing the rules within the Group and with partners:

Provide safe and healthy working conditions
Ensure staff are treated equally with no discrimination on the basis of ethnic origin, sex, nationality, etc.
Promote and respect human rights with staff and in all business relationships

FOCUS. 11 new agreements in France and Germany in 2022

4 agreements on salary negotiations

1 agreement on employment and career paths

6 agreements on remote work, part-time work and working hours flexibility

Reporting concerns

As part of our ethics charter, we have created an alert procedure to help our staff report any activities that contravene our ethics charter, CCTV code of conduct or anti-corruption policy. Employees can report concerns based on our own organisation or a third party.

The staff member requests an independent third party who ensures he or she is granted confidentiality. If the matter is considered as requiring further investigation, the compliance officer is informed. An investigation is opened: those who are authorised will verify the facts of the investigation and initiate any appropriate sanction based on the seriousness of the facts.
