Ethics & Compliance
For over 140 years, women and men at Groupe Beneteau have promoted, over generations, a passion for its products, a spirit of conquest, the love of transmission and the audacity of pioneers.
Against a backdrop of transformation and generational transition, these strong values are shared with our stakeholders. They support our growth and guide our responsible business conduct.
PASSION
Drives Groupe Beneteau’s men and women each day
One of our passionate employee’s core strengths is their ability to take on board all uses, all experiences, creating diverse models that are aligned with our customer’s needs, enabling them to live their dreams.
AUDACITY
Transcends the Group’s history and supports its growth
From the first motorized sardine fishing boat to the SHIP CONTROL universal digital interface, or the Band of Boats community service plateforme, our history has been marked by innovations, both small and large.
CONQUEST
Guides all our actions and decisions
From our leadership for sailing to our successful move into motorboats, the expansion of our ranges, our development on international markets, our digital transformations, and our creations of new services to simplify practices and uses… this spirit of conquest enables us to truly stand out.
TRANSMISSION
Is a duty to enable the Groupe and its customers to reach higher and further
Benjamin Bénéteau and the generations of adventurers who have joined the Group over the past 140 years since it was founded have handed down to us their unique know-how. Both receiving and transmitting : we are fully focused on this horizon.
A set of guidelines and values, Groupe Beneteau’s Code of Ethics guides employees, managers and company officers in adopting responsible behaviors in their daily professional practices. It applies to all the Group’s employees and subsidiaries around the world.
