Lecta Governance

Business Ethics

Our Group-wide framework for ESG governance documents describes the hierarchy of our governing documents, decision mandates and mechanisms for identifying and managing risks and deficiencies. The framework contains Lecta’s Code of Ethics and Modern slavery statement, both approved by the Board, and signed by the CEO. These are accompanied by Group procedures, guidelines, and other supporting documents.

Our Sustainability Policy also affirms Lecta’s commitments to Environmental Responsibility, Social Accountability, Economic Resilience, and Transparency and Accountability.
