Policies
Our Code of Conduct and Compliance policies are a reflection of how we do business and how we put SICPA values into practice.
Achieving SICPA’s purpose of Enabling Trust is everyone’s responsibility.
We can only accomplish this by working together, complying with all applicable laws, and following our internal policies.
We require every employee, officer, director, individual, or entity representing or serving the interest of SICPA to comply with the SICPA policies applicable to their activities.
SICPA Code of Conduct and the Global Compliance Policies are approved by the Board of Directors and supplemented by additional policies or standard operating procedures. They are translated into several languages and easily available to all employees.
SICPA Code of Conduct
Our fully revamped SICPA Code of Conduct provides a behavioral compass that outlines the way SICPA wants to conduct business with integrity, how the company is committed to its employees and stakeholders, and what is expected from every person in SICPA.
It contains the guiding principles for our standards of business conduct based on our values and our commitments to the UN Global Compact and to our people, customers, business partners, and communities.
SICPA Code of Conduct is available in 11 languages in our dedicated section here.

It details the rules and principles that employees and others acting on behalf of the SICPA must follow and adhere to.
