Ethics is not only a legal topic, it plays a key role in our values and DNA, and we aim at creating a culture of compliance within OVHcloud teams and our third parties.
For the last few years, OVHcloud has been deploying its compliance program in line with our culture and with the commitment of our top management.
Our Code of Ethics, Supplier Code of Conduct, Anti-Corruption Policy and our whistleblowing platform define part of our prevention and detection measures to address corruption risks and bring our best practices to our third parties.
« When I founded OVHcloud in 1999, I wanted to build a different kind of company. A company in which everyone is free to express their talents to boost innovation and benefit our customers.
This mindset is at the heart of the company, and integral to our organisation. The OVHcloud mindset is more than just a set of values. It lies within a particular ethical framework that guides both our internal interactions, and our external relationships. »
Octave Klaba - Founder of OVHcloud
Since ethics are integral to our DNA, the OVHcloud’s commitment to this matter is all the more important. That’s why we are taking advantage of the French law on transparency, anti-corruption and economic modernisation, known as Sapin II, to formalise our practices and implement our anti-corruption policy. This approach enables us to share our vision of the company today, and imagine its future development..
Our policy is based on 5 measures:
Our Code of Ethics has special significance for the entire OVHcloud ecosystem. We have draft this document because we wanted to share our values, and were conscious of the role we had to play in promoting a responsible business environment. The work allows us to set in stone the way we have always behaved, not because it’s written down, but because it’s part of the OVHcloud mindset.
Why we are implementing this code of ethics?
Who the code is for ?
Our Code of Ethics is a tool to raise awareness, and is freely available to everyone.
Covering a variety of topics, our Code of Ethics protects and raises awareness among everyone within OVHcloud.
