Ethics & Compliance
Ethical behaviour is the cornerstone of our success and a fundamental aspect of our corporate culture.
Our Principles
Galileo has a zero-tolerance approach to corruption and other forms of economic crime and will not compromise on this commitment, regardless of commercial objectives. We will ensure that we have the competence to operate prudently in challenging business environments and to manage concerns. We will all seek advice when in doubt. We will only work with business partners who meet acceptable standards or have a credible plan for improvement.
At Galileo, we prioritize a safe and healthy workplace, ensuring no one is harmed. We value the well-being of ourselves and our colleagues, always considering how our actions affect others. We embrace continuous learning from our daily experiences and encourage open communication. By sharing insights across the organization, we foster growth and inclusivity. Our culture is built on responsibility, collaboration, and making a meaningful impact together.
Galileo is committed to contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), to supporting a low-carbon and just energy transition; starting from its core business, Galileo takes a holistic approach to sustainability which is at the foundation of all relationships with stakeholders.
The Programme is overseen by Galileo's Compliance function, which designs, implements and continually strengthens its key components in coordination with the company's management and business areas.
Our Board of Directors plays a critical role in overseeing and assessing our culture of ethics and compliance, and ensuring policies, practices and behavior are consistent with our Values.
Our Board has established a separate Audit Risk and Compliance Committee (ARCC), dedicated to overseeing and approving key ethics, compliance and culture-related matters within the Group.
The team supports the implementation of our ethics and compliance program and is composed by the General Counsel and Group Compliance Manager.
The Group Compliance team is responsible for:
General Counsel
Group Compliance Manager
Our Group policy framework encompasses our Values, Code of Ethics and a suite of policies and guidelines on the main compliance matters and risks.
Training and awareness are essential components of Galileo's Ethics and Compliance Program.
They ensure that all employees, consultants and partners understand expected standards of conduct and how to address compliance situations. Every new joiner participates in classroom and in-person training sessions as part of onboarding.
Continuous training is provided through our multimedia e-learning platform, with both role-specific modules and annual refreshers.
