At BRP, we recognize that responsible governance requires a commitment to transparency and accountability throughout our organization, as well as effective structures, policies, standards, and communication.
As part of our new CSR25 program, we will continue to make sound strategic decisions, uphold high ethical standards, and conduct our operations in a sustainable manner with the support of our Board of Directors and executive management team.
In December 2022, we released a new version of our Code of Ethics entitled Driven by Integrity. New themes were included: data privacy, global trade compliance, relationship with third parties, product quality and safety, human rights, and community engagement. Filled with real-life examples, this completely overhauled, interactive document is easy to navigate and available in different languages to make it easier to understand.
