Governance
AIRVANCE Group has adopted a modern and balanced governance structure, combining the advantages of a family business with those of an international group.
An organisation structured around three complementary bodies that ensure the group’s sustainability and the effective implementation of its strategy.
Ethics and Compliance
Within AIRVANCE Group, we place ethics and exemplary conduct at the center of all our activities. This involves structuring, framing, and harmonizing our interactions with all stakeholders through 4 documents that guide each of our decisions and actions, thus ensuring the integrity and transparency of our company.
Ethics Code
The ethical code illustrates our way of conducting our activities in accordance with our values and identity. Through clear commitments and rules shared within the Group, it guides our daily actions to contribute to a more sustainable world.
By adhering to this code, we commit to acting with honesty, respect, and fairness towards our employees, customers, and partners. We strive to create a safe, healthy, and sustainable work environment in which everyone can thrive and give their best.
This ethical approach, deeply rooted in our values, strengthens the trust that our stakeholders place in us and consolidates our position as a European leader in ventilation.
Whistleblower Procedure
Transparency is a key value within AIRVANCE Group. This is why we have implemented a whistleblowing procedure, allowing everyone to report, in complete confidentiality, any behavior or situation contrary to our ethical code. This responsible approach helps maintain the integrity of our company and prevent any breach of our principles.
By offering all our stakeholders a secure channel to express their concerns, we create a climate of trust and transparency. Each alert is treated with the utmost seriousness and with respect for confidentiality, thus ensuring the protection of whistleblowers. This procedure demonstrates our commitment to acting ethically and responsibly, thereby strengthening the trust of our customers and partners.
Code of Conduct
We are committed to contributing to a better world, and this is clearly reflected in our Code of Conduct. This essential document, developed in response to the Sapin II law, clarifies the principles already established in our ethical code and defines specific rules to govern relationships with all stakeholders.
We have adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards corruption, influence peddling, and conflicts of interest. We expect our employees to report any practice contrary to our principles, relying on our procedure for collecting and processing internal reports.
These provisions apply to the entire AIRVANCE Group and its subsidiaries, as well as to all employees, both internal and external. They also apply to our third parties, mainly suppliers and customers, in the context of our transactions.
Responsible Purchasing Policy
AIRVANCE Group recognizes the crucial importance of a responsible supply chain. This is why we have implemented a responsible purchasing policy, which forms the foundation of our commitment to operational excellence and competitiveness, while remaining faithful to our ethics and our social and environmental responsibilities.
This policy guides our choices towards suppliers who not only meet our criteria for quality, safety, and competitiveness, but who also share our values and are ready to engage in a mutually beneficial relationship. We are committed to integrating these practices into all our operations, a commitment made at the highest level of management and which applies to all our employees, whether directly involved in purchasing or not.

Our CSR programme
Breathe Together
This is the name of the CSR programme launched by our Airvance Group in 2020, which aims to use strong values to unite all men and women who wish to share in them and be part of the company's success.
We see CSR as an opportunity to showcase the Group as an example to follow when it comes to internal practices, which is essential to ensure the success of our ecosystem. We have made CSR a driving force for cooperation and opening up the company to its many stakeholders.
The European Union is currently preparing reforms and standardisation of its CSR policy through the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), with significant involvement from our financial partners. Airvance Group will provide further information on these new standards in 2026 with the annual report for 2025. In the meantime, we are continuing to build our Breathe Together programme as part of our ongoing improvement.
