Groupe PSA’s social and environmental policy is based on continuous dialogue with its stakeholders and the conviction that automotive sustainability can contribute to the creation of value for everyone. It is expressed in public commitments and concrete objectives in response to strategic issues in sustainable mobility, regional development and innovative social practices.
Corporate Social Responsibility, a driver of value creation
CSR: an approach based on dialogue
For Groupe PSA, responsible and transparent behaviour is the only way of creating development and economic performance on a lasting basis. That conviction has led the Group to develop an approach of in-depth dialogue with all the company’s stakeholders and at each stage in the CSR policy:
- identifying issues,
- setting objectives,
- implementing and monitoring action plans.
The CSR policy and management system are integrated in the Group’s governance structures and are subject to a specific organisation at both strategic and operational level.

Rules on ethics and transparency
Groupe PSA’s business culture, based on responsibility and respect, is reflected in requirements on ethics and transparency backed by rigorous systems applying to all its stakeholders, both external and internal.
Business ethics
Consistent with the commitment of its leaders, the company strives to ensure ethical business practices, notably through a zero-tolerance approach to corruption and the failure to respect competition rules.
In 2017, Groupe PSA has published its Anti-corruption Code of Conduct which applies to all employees and reminded its requirements regarding the relationship with Agents and Intermediaries. Translated into 22 languages, a Code of Ethics sets out for all employees ethical guidelines in the fulfilment of their responsibilities. Campaigns are carried out regularly with all employees to increase acceptance of the Code of Ethics. At the end of 2017, 18,122 people had individually signed up to the Code of Ethics in 15 countries. A rigorous approach to prevention and monitoring is supervised by an Ethics and Compliance Committee, assisted by Compliance Officers and deployed by an international network comprising Chief Ethics Officers and heads of Internal Control, Compliance and Risk Management in each Group department.
In 2018, Groupe PSA implements a worldwide whistleblowing system operated by an independent service provider, which collects reports from employees on unethical or illegal conduct they observe. Reports are dealt with in compliance with whistleblowing and non retaliation Policy
Group transparency
The Group’s positions on the major issues stemming from its activities are public, as are the special-interest groups of which it is a member. Consistent with its ethical principles of integrity and transparency Groupe PSA maintains responsible relations with public Institutions, by responding to their requests for information, in order to support economic, social, scientific and cultural developments.
