At TGN
Our ethics and compliance risk-based program has been designed to prevent, detect, and appropriately respond to any potential violations of (the) law, of our Code of Ethics, or of any other company policies and procedures. In TGN we believe that this commitment to compliance across the entire organization is fundamental to running a successful and sustainable business.
We keep the highest ethical and professional conduct standards in our activities.
We are convinced that acting with integrity and transparency guarantees successful relations with our stakeholders.
The robust ethical culture at TGN depends on the commitment of employees at every level and on strong leadership by senior leaders and management.
Our Ethics & Compliance Program consists of the following key elements:
- An Ethics & Compliance Office providing compliance advice and customized training, conducting investigations, and improving governance across all regions and countries where TGN does business.
- A Code of Ethics that provides a foundation on compliant actions and behavior.
- Internal policies and procedures, guided by the principles in our Code of Ethics, such as:
