ETHICS AND COMPLIANCE

FDJ UNITED’s Ethics and Compliance Programme

FDJ UNITED's Commitment, Principles, and Approach

In the constantly evolving landscape of our industry, ethics are more than just a set of rules—they are the foundation of our corporate culture. While the business evolves, our commitment to doing the right thing is the one thing that shouldn’t change.

The Group’s ethics charter affirms our collective commitment to promoting our raison d’être and values, and guides us in making the right choices and acting with integrity in our day-to-day work, in accordance with the following fundamental ethical principles:

  • Support responsible gaming: we implement measures to ensure that gaming is safe and accessible to all.
  • Respect individuals: We cultivate a work and collaborative environment based on respect, inclusion, and dignity for all.
  • Act with integrity: We act ethically and transparently in everything we do, building relationships of trust with our partners
  • Make a positive contribution to society and the environment: we support initiatives that promote sustainability and benefit both society and the environment.
Read the Ethics Charter

At FDJ UNITED, responsibility is central to everything we do. This essential value guides all our actions, especially in ethics and compliance. As a European Group, being ethical primarily means ensuring all our operations comply with current laws and regulations, wherever we operate.
Ethics also represents a shared culture and strong values that guide our interactions with all stakeholders: our employees, suppliers, and civil society as a whole.
