Navigating CEPI's Third Party Code: Your guide to compliance
Supporting our Third Parties with essential guidance and resources to help you navigate and adhere to our expected standards of conduct and behaviour.
Third party code
CEPI aims to work with Third Parties who align with our high standards of ethical conduct. Our Third Party Code of Conduct (the “Code”) aims to ensure that CEPI funded projects, procurement activities and other engagements are executed in line with our values, adhering to the highest standards of ethical conduct, compliance and transparency, whilst supporting CEPI’s mission.
In keeping with CEPI’s culture—which embraces creativity, inclusiveness and accountability—this page has been designed to assist our valued third-party partners in understanding and adhering to CEPI’s expectations as set out in contractual terms. These guidance documents provide further information on the background and regulatory environment which help define CEPI’s expectations of our Third Parties, as well as some guidance on what this could look like in practice.
None of the guidance provided constitutes legal advice; it is important that our Third Parties continue to review their own activities and programmes to ensure that they are meeting their legal and contractual obligations.

In addition to instances or concerns of misconduct or breach of the Code, we encourage all Third Parties to promptly notify CEPI of any concerns, risk events or “near misses” that could impact the progress or outcome of CEPI’s mission or projects.
