Ethics & compliance
As one of the leading energy companies, ENGIE bears a special social responsibility.
Our code of ethics forms the basis for the daily strategic decisions, the management and the working practices of all employees of ENGIE Germany.
Compliance covers all the procedures and policies we have established to prevent violations and protect and promote our values. This includes the protection of privacy and personal data as an important concern of ENGIE Germany.

Code of Ethics and Guidelines
Our Code of Ethics forms the foundation of our shared ethical conduct within the ENGIE Group. It provides a clear framework for achieving our goals in alignment with ENGIE’s values. Its provisions and principles are binding for all ENGIE employees worldwide, including us here in Germany. It is based on five principles:
1. Corruption and fraud are strictly prohibited
2. Laws and regulations apply to every one of us
3. Integrity and loyalty guide our relationships with third parties
4. We respect human rights
5. We observe environmental standards
These five principles also guide our conduct at ENGIE Germany. The Code of Ethics is complemented by Ethics & Compliance Guidelines, which address specific legal and cultural aspects.
Together, we ensure that ENGIE in Germany remains a role model for integrity, transparency, and ethical conduct. With a firm ethical compass and a strong commitment to our shared values, we aim to be a key player in the energy transition—both in Germany and around the world.
The Code of Ethics is supplemented by the Ethics Guidelines, which explain application modalities in detail and in a clear manner. Here you will find both documents, which are aimed in particular at our external stakeholders (suppliers, customers, partners, investors, NGOs and others).
