Codes of conduct
As fully owned affiliate of Proximus, BICS adheres to the Proximus Code of Conduct.
The new revised version of the Code of Conduct is available below. It replaces the Proximus Code of Conduct dated December 2009. It is applicable to all operations and employees of the Proximus Group.
The Proximus Code of Conduct reflects the fundamental principles and rules which form the basis of our commitment to being a socially responsible company. We believe that strong results have to be accompanied by integrity if we want to contribute to the economic, social and environmental development of our society. Ethical conduct does not limit itself to the compliance with the text of this Code of Conduct. It is a summary of the most important principles, and is thus non exhaustive. The principles and rules it contains are developed in greater detail in several internal policies and procedures.
