The Association’s General Meeting adopts the rules of professional conduct to which the members of the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee and the Association’s salaried staff are bound, as well as, where applicable, the members of the supervisory committees of the retirement savings plans subscribed by the Association.
The purpose of the rules of professional conduct is to prevent and resolve conflicts of interest. They specify the information that persons who could be considered to be in a situation of conflict of interest by virtue of their current or past position, due in particular to their links of any kind, direct or indirect, with the insurance undertaking, its service providers or bodies in the same group, or due to current or past related activities, must, under their responsibility, bring to the attention of the Chairman of the Board of Directors and, where applicable, the Chairmen of the Supervisory Committees. They determine the cases in which and the conditions under which these persons must abstain from taking part in deliberations, abstain from voting or tender their resignation.
These rules specify the obligations of diligence and confidentiality of the persons mentioned in the first paragraph in the performance of their duties.
These rules also define the conditions under which the members of the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee and, where applicable, the members of the supervisory committees of the retirement savings plans subscribed by the association, provide the chairman of the association or the chairman of their respective committees with information on their civil status, good repute, experience and professional qualifications.
The rules of professional conduct also specify, where necessary, the criteria for assessing whether a member of the Board of Directors or a Supervisory Committee meets the conditions set out in the first paragraph of Article L. 141-7.
