An active contribution
Along the entire value chainOperating in the international market, we are aware of the contribution that each of us can concretely make to the promotion of a culture of corporate social responsibility in the geographical area where we do business. We intend to advocate the principles of transparency and integrity on which SICIM’s identity is based and to actively contribute
to the observance of human, work and environmental rights and the fight against corruption through the value of setting an example and by disseminating these values along the entire value chain. All reference documents, internal policies and codes of conduct adopted by SICIM are based on these principles.
Each of us, regardless of the job position or of the operational geographical area, is both its guardian and promoter. In choosing its partners, SICIM is committed to applying these same requirements of honesty and respect.
