Ethics and Compliance

Like all Group entities, Mérieux Université is committed to acting in accordance with the Principles of Conduct published by Institut Mérieux and to ensuring that its practices, both internally and externally, are in line with a corporate culture that respects ethics and integrity. 

Committed to the fight against corruption, and in accordance with the law n° 2016-1691 known as “Sapin 2”, Mérieux Université has set up a procedure to assess the control of corruption risks for all its service providers and suppliers, with the support of the Institute’s Internal Audit Department and ADIT. Any new relationship with a Third Party is subject to a prior assessment that enables Mérieux Université to determine the level of exposure to corruption risks of the said Third Party, in accordance with the legislation in force.

Our Activities

Training and support all employees

The Group’s employees operate in an increasingly complex and challenging environment, where change is a continuous process and where approaches and methods must constantly be questioned or even readapted to achieve the objectives set.

We respond to these strategic challenges with :
• Professional” training courses, structured in Academies
• Training in Communication, Management and Leadership
• Coaching actions, individual or collective, but also DISC test, 360 feedback

In addition, since its creation, the Université has supported Clinical and Industrial Microbiology Laboratories in the development of their professional knowledge and skills. Mérieux Université offers a wide range of training courses for biologists and laboratory technicians – in Lyon and Paris, or tailor-made on-site.

Anticipation, systemic thinking and strategic forecasting are today the essential qualities required of managers. Information in itself no longer creates added value, while interpersonal skills – problem solving, cooperation, critical thinking, creativity – are crucial and are at the heart of our pedagogical project.
