On 22^(nd )October, the EUROCOMPLIANCE certification body announced to SYSTRA’s
management that it had obtained ISO 37001 certification following an audit of
its anti-bribery management system carried out in France and India. The ISO
37001 standard, published in 2016, “sets out requirements and provides guidance
for a management system designed to help an organization to prevent, detect and
respond to bribery and comply with anti-bribery laws and voluntary commitments
applicable to its activities.”

> “ISO 37001 is an excellent way to ensure that our management systems evolve
> towards full compliance with the legal standards that have developed in many
> countries since the 1997 OECD convention: FCPA in the USA, Bribery Act in the
> UK and Loi Sapin 2 in France, with the creation of the French Anti-Corruption
> Agency. We are pleased to have reached this milestone following several months
> of work to deploy an effective anti-corruption system throughout the Group.”
> Jérôme Hernot, Group Compliance Officer

> ” As a company with a strong presence on international markets and working on
> behalf of public organizations, SYSTRA is particularly concerned by the fight
> against corruption which, it should be remembered, represents an annual
> misappropriation of public funds of 5% of world GDP according to the World
> Economic Forum. Beyond this commitment to the common good, we have a duty to
> act as a trusted third party. Indeed, confidence is an essential element in
> the relationship between an engineering company like SYSTRA and its clients on
> the one hand, and other stakeholders in projects in which we are involved, on
> the other . This involves guaranteeing compliance with the highest ethical
> standards. This trust is also essential for our staff, who refuse to accept
> the practices of the old world, and we can testify that an assumed and
> asserted integrity is fully compatible with the development of our activities
> and the quality of our services. I am proud to see SYSTRA’s teams and managers
> commit themselves with such conviction to this path.”
> Pierre Verzat, SYSTRA’s Chief Executive Officer
