Groupe Forrest intensifies its fight against corruption and bribery

Groupe Forrest, a major player in the construction, electricity, and industrial sectors in the DRC, has announced a significant initiative as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy. Responding to a proposal from its Compliance Committee, the company’s management has decided to launch an online training course dedicated to “Combating Corruption and Bribery” for its employees, executives and direction.

High standards of integrity

This training, which is part of a broader effort to strengthen the group’s ethical practices, represents a crucial step in ensuring impeccable conduct within the company. With this initiative, Groupe Forrest reaffirms its commitment to maintaining high standards of integrity and transparency, essential values for solidifying its reputation as a reliable and trustworthy business partner.

The importance of such training cannot be underestimated in the current context where companies are increasingly scrutinized for their ethical practices and social responsibility. For Groupe Forrest, which has already demonstrated its seriousness with the successful Code of Conduct training in 2021, this new step confirms a continuous commitment to promoting a healthy corporate culture free from corrupt practices.

Malta D. Forrest, CEO of the Group, emphasizes: “Corruption and bribery are scourges that undermine trust and business performance. By offering this training, we are equipping our employees with the necessary tools to recognize and avoid these practices. It not only protects our company but also positively contributes to the economic and social development of the regions in which we operate.”

Risk management

By participating in this training, the selected employees will have the opportunity to enhance their skills in detecting and managing corruption risks, thereby contributing to the creation of a more transparent and ethical work environment.

In conclusion, Groupe Forrest once again demonstrates its leadership in corporate governance and social responsibility. This training on combating corruption and bribery is a strategic investment that will not only strengthen internal practices but also affirm the group’s position as an ethical and responsible economic actor on the international stage.
