    Anti-corruption program The fight against corruption is one of the key components of Vivendi and Havas compliance policy and is a primary focus for the group and all its subsidiaries. Havas conducts its operations with strict respect to national and international regulatory standards. A global anti-corruption program has been set up at Vivendi and Havas group level to comply, amongst others, with the French Sapin II law regarding anti-corruption. A dedicated compliance department has been set up to deploy for Havas this anticorruption program. Anti-corruption code Havas adopted the Vivendi anticorruption code. The Code applies to all internal employees of the Group in France and abroad, and all occasional and external workers employed by the Group in France and abroad. The Anti-Corruption Code was translated into 24 languages and can be consulted on the Group’s intranet. It takes into account applicable local rules and regulations in countries where the group is present, particularly the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) in the United States and the UK Bribery Act. Anti-Corruption training A training program has also been developed to complete the framework in place to prevent corruption and influence peddling, and e-learning modules have been created to enable employees to better understand the issues and risks in play, and learn best practices. Whistleblowing procedure An internal whistleblowing system is available to group employees since the Anti-Corruption Code was issued. The whistleblowing platform is dedicated to cases of corruption as defined by the Sapin II Act. It describes the rights and responsibilities of whistleblowers.
