The Ethics Committee is a consultative body consisting of administrators appointed by PlaNet Finance’s Board of Directors. The primary objective of the committee is to ensure that the ethics charter is respected and to verify that the norms are implemented within the organization, in order to ensure a clear knowledge and strict respect of it by all, from the headquarters to the subsidiaries, affiliated offices, microfinance institutions and its partners. Each subsidiary also has its own specific charter, an annex of the central charter.
In 2008, consultation with the Audit Committee has intensified, with an aim to coordinate the actions of both committees and to check that the articles of the charter will be respected.
Élisabeth Lamiral and Stéphane Pieron, Compliance Officers, were nominated in 2009 in order to ensure the secretariat of the committee and to follow up on the actions initiated by it.
