• Remind all third parties of Artelia's ethics policies (communicate or include ethics clause in contract), ask for their ethics policies

• Red flags for partners 🚩 : The partner is imposed by the client, limited experience, requesting unusual payment conditions, shows signs of non-compliance with Artelia's ethics guidelines

• Red flags for clients 🚩 : Country is low rated in Transparency International ranking, client is opaque, strange payment terms, allegations exist against the client
