Anti-corruption code
BELIEVE Group反贪腐准则
BELIEVE 集团

Introduction简

The mission of the Believe Group (hereinafter “Believe”) is
to serve and best support the development of all artists
and labels at all stages of their career.
In order to carry out this mission and to continue todevelop, Believe wished to structure its activity aroundfour key values that must be shared by all Believe
employees and partners and for which Believe must be
exemplary: expertise, respect, transparency and fairness.
Integrity and the fight against corruption or influencepeddling are fundamental principles for Believe, which
particularly respond to the values of transparency andfairness that it holds dear. The committing of an act of
corruption or influence peddling is a serious act that cancause extremely damaging legal and financial
consequences for Believe and its Employees, but also for
its clients, and which can permanently harm Believe’s
reputation.
Believe therefore undertakes to prohibit and punish any
inappropriate behaviour of its directors, employees,
external and casual employees such as trainees, temporary
staff and consultants of all companies belonging to Believe,
in France and abroad (hereinafter the “Employee(s)”).
For this reason, Believe Management has decided to draft
an Anti-Corruption Code, which is part of the Believe Codeof Conduct and Ethics, and more generally the Believe
Compliance Program, including the monitoring of
mandatory anti-corruption training.

Believe 集团(下称“Believe”)的使命是向所
有艺术家和厂牌公司在其职业生涯各个阶段的发展提供服务和最佳支持。
为了执行这项使命并保持持续发展， Believe
希望围绕四大价值观组织活动，该四大价值观
必须由全体 Believe 雇员和合作伙伴共享，
Believe 在这方面必须堪称典范:专业知识、尊重、透明和公平。
廉洁、反贪腐和反对以权谋私是 Believe 的基
本原则，尤其是与其所重视的透明和公平的价值观相呼应。贪污或以权谋私是严重的行为，会给公司及其雇员和客户造成极其严重的法律
和经济后果，并会永久损害公司的声誉。
因此，Believe 承诺禁止和惩罚其在法国和国
外所有 Believe 公司的董事，雇员，外部和临时雇员（例如受训人员，临时雇员和顾问）的
任何不当行为（以下简称“雇员”）。

I trust that you will carefully read, then apply and enforce,
this Anti-Corruption Code in your daily activities in orderto promote Believe’s values and its commitment to anticorruption.

我相信，您会认真阅读，并在日常活动中遵守和执行本反贪腐准则，以促进 Believe 的价值观和其反贪腐承诺。

1. 禁止贪污和以权谋私
1.1 贪污和以权谋私的定义
1.1.1 贪污罪如上文前言所述，贪污罪在世界各地都有相应的惩罚规定，特别是法国刑法典第 432-11 条、
第 433-1 条、第 435-1 条、第 435-3 条、第 4451 条、第 445-2 条的规定。
定义是：从事某一特定的、公共或私人活动的人员为了履行、延迟或不履行直接或间接作为其职责的一部分的行为而要求/提议或同意赠
与、要约或承诺的行为。
当贪污涉及到执行公共服务的人员(以下简称“公职人员”)时，就称为公开贪污行为。公职人员的概念必须得到广义的解释，它指的是公
共权力的监护者、被委以公共服务任务或被委以选举公职的人。任何其他 Believe 开展经营活动的国家的国内法被认为上述性质的人也应
被列为公职人员。
2

The offence of corruption is established by the mere
promise of an undue benefit, even if this benefit isultimately not granted.
Offences of active corruption (conferring an undue benefit
on a person) and passive corruption (receiving an undue
benefit) are criminally sanctioned.
In practice, the following conduct may be described as
corruption:
conferring any benefit whatsoever (gifts, gift or
discount vouchers, etc.) on a person responsible forbroadcasting on a musical platform in order to increase the
distribution of titles distributed by Believe;
selecting a service provider that does not present
the most favourable offer to Believe in order to obtain apersonal benefit in return;
receiving any gift or benefit from any producer orservice provider of Believe in exchange for the selection of
any of its artists or the conclusion of new contracts;
offering a trip to a producer so that he/she
recommends an artist select Believe rather than anotherservice provider;conferring a benefit on an employee of acompeting company to obtain confidential information on
the position of the competitor;
granting a benefit (an internship for a relative oran invitation to events, etc.) to a public official in order toavoid the payment of a fine or obtain a favourable decision.
1.1.2. The offence of influence peddling
The offence of influence peddling is provided for in Articles
432-11, 433-2, 435-2 and 435-4 of the French Criminal
Code in particular.
Influence peddling is defined as offering, requesting,
accepting or handing over any benefit whatsoever to aperson so that he or she abuses his or her actual or
supposed influence in order to obtain from a publicauthority or administration honours, jobs, contracts or any
other favourable decision.
It involves three players:
the person who provides benefits or gifts;
the person who uses the recognition that he has
as a result of his position;
the person who holds the decision-making power(public authority or administration, magistrate, etc.).
Offences of active and passive influence peddling are
sanctioned by the French Criminal Code.
In practice, the following behaviours are, in particular,
likely to be described as influence peddling:
offering a gift to a relative of a Public Official inorder to use his influence on him/her to obtain afavourable decision;
granting employment to a family member of a
Public Official in order to obtain his or her favourable
decision or to get him or her to waive sanctions against
Believe;hiring a Public Official as a consultant to assist
Believe in obtaining a favourable administrative decision.

涉及在私营部门工作的自然人或法人的贪污是
私人贪污行为。
是否承诺获得不正当利益是贪污罪的成立标
准，即使最终没有获得该种不正当利益。
主动贪污(给予某人不正当利益)和被动贪污(获得不正当利益)的犯罪行为均将受到刑事制裁。

在实践中，以下行为可被视为贪污:向负责在音乐平台上播放的人提供任何好处(礼物、礼品或折扣券等)，以增加
Believe 所发行作品的发行量。
为获得个人利益作为回报，不选择向Believe 提供最优惠报价的服务提供商，从 Believe 的任何制作方或服务提供方获得任何礼物或利益，以换取其任何艺人的选拔或新合同的签订;为制作方提供一次旅行，让其推荐艺人选择 Believe ，而不是其他服务提供商;为获取竞争者对手的机密信息，而向竞争对手的雇员提供好处;为避免支付罚款或取得有利决定，对公职人员提供好处(如为其亲属提供实习机会或者活动邀请)。
1.1.2 以权谋私罪《法国刑法典》第 432-11 和 433-2、435-2 和
435-4 条特别对以权谋私罪进行了规定。
以权谋私的定义是：向某人提供、要求、接受或交出任何利益，使某人滥用其实际或假想的影响力，以便从公共当局或行政部门获得荣
誉、工作、合同或任何其他有利的决定。
它包含三个参与者:
提供利益或者馈赠的人;
因其职务而获得的认可的人;掌 握 决策 权 的人 ( 公共 部门 或 行政 管理、地方法官等)。
《法国刑法典》对积极和消极以权谋私的罪行
予以制裁。
在实践中，以下行为很可能被认定为以权谋私的行为:向公职人员的亲属赠送礼物，以利用其对公职人员的影响力作出有利的决定;给予公职人员的家庭成员一份工作，以便获得其有利决定或使他或她放弃对 Believe
的处罚；3聘请公职人员作为顾问，以协助
Believe 获得有利的行政决定。
1.2.
Criminal sanctions for corruption and influence
trafficking
The commission of corruption or influence peddling may
result in a range of sanctions up to and including very large
fines and prison sentences for Believe and/or for theemployees involved, both in France and abroad.
For example, in France, sanctions are as follows:
for natural persons who have participated as
author or accomplice in acts of corruption: 5 to 10 years
imprisonment and 500,000 to 1,000,000 euros fine or theequivalent of double the proceeds of the offence;for legal entities: 2,500,000 to 5,000,000 euros orthe equivalent of double the proceeds of the infringement,
as well as additional penalties.
For example, the courts located in foreign countries may
impose payment of a fine equivalent to the amount or thevalue of any advantage accepted upon any person having
accepted any form of advantage in violation of the law inaddition to criminal sanctions.
1.3.
Prohibition of corruption and influence peddlingwithin Believe
Conduct likely to be classified as corruption and influencepeddling before a transaction is concluded, during and also
after its execution, is strictly prohibited within Believe.
Employees undertake to comply with all anti-corruption
laws and all the rules set out in this Anti-Corruption Code.
2.
RULES TO BE FOLLOWED AND CONDUCT TO BE
PROHIBITED
2.1.
Gifts and invitations
While offering a gift or invitation of low value may beconsidered an act of courtesy in certain countries, such an
act may lead to confusion and be considered wrongdoing.
This is why we need to be particularly vigilant.
In fact, it is strictly forbidden to offer a gift or benefit or toinvite a person with the aim of obtaining an undue benefit
or to unjustly exercise any influence on his or her actionsor those of a third party.
Therefore, in any event, it is strictly prohibited to:
pay or offer to pay a sum of money to a Public
Official or a Believe Business Partner or to receive a sum ofmoney from a Business Partner;

1.2 - 对贪污和以权谋私的刑事制裁
在法国和国外，贪污或以权谋私的行为可导致一系列制裁，包括对 Believe 和/或涉案雇员处以高额罚款和监禁。
例如，在法国，制裁如下:对参与贪污的自然人，处五年以上十年
以 下 有 期 徒 刑 ， 并 处 500,000 欧 元 以 上
1,000,000 欧元以下罚金或者犯罪所得数额两
倍的罚金;对法人组织:处以 2,500,000-5,000,000
欧元或相当于犯罪所得金额两倍的罚金，并可
附加罚款。
例如，外国的法院可以对任何违反法律而接受任何形式利益的人处以与所接受利益金额或价值相等的罚款，以及刑事制裁。
1.3 禁止在 Believe 进行贪污和以权谋私的行
为在 Believe，严禁在交易完成前、进行中和执行后进行贪污和以权谋私的行为。雇员承诺遵
守所有反贪腐法律和本反贪腐准则中规定的所有规则。
2. 应当遵守的规则和禁止的行为
2.1. 礼物和邀请
在某些国家，馈赠礼物或低价邀请可能被视为
一种礼貌行为，但这种行为可能导致困惑，并
被认为是不正当行为。这就是为什么我们需要
特别警惕的原因。
事实上，严格禁止为谋取不正当利益或不公正行为，对某人或第三方通过赠送礼物、提供利
益或提供邀请施加任何影响。
因此，在任何情况下均严禁以下行为:向公职人员或 Believe 的业务伙伴支付
或提议支付一笔款项，或从业务伙伴处收取一笔款项;give a value guarantee or offer a loan disguised as
an incitement or reimbursement to a person taking part inor abstaining from taking part in any form of affair ortransaction;offer a gift or invitation to a Public Official;offer a gift or invitation to a person in order toobtain, in an undue manner, a consideration or to以煽动唆使、提供报销等方式向参与或者放弃参与任何形式事务或交易的人员提供价
值担保或者提供借款；

4

influence his or her decision or that of a third party (acontract on behalf of Believe, the dissemination of titles
distributed by Believe etc.);
request or accept payment of a gift or invitationas consideration, reward or motivation to award a contract
or select a Believe Business Partner;
offer or receive a gift or invitation during a tenderphase or during the negotiation of a contract.
However, and in accordance with the above, certain gifts
and invitations may be offered or received, as long as thevalue of such courtesies does not exceed the limits ofsocially acceptable practice and remains within the limit ofa maximum annual amount of 200 euros (or the equivalent
in foreign currency) per Employee. This threshold may belowered in certain countries in order to take account oflocal customs. In no case may an Employee offer more thanthe beneficiary is allowed to receive or offer to the
Employee.
In all cases, the Employee must keep written and precise
supporting documents for the gifts and invitations they
offer and receive.
In case of doubt or question regarding gifts and invitations,
the Employees are requested to inform the Compliance
Officer or the Chief Legal Officer.
Example:An Employee may offer a producer a box of chocolates forthe year-end festive season as it is a gift of a reasonablevalue and less than 200 euros offered during a period when
chocolates are traditionally exchanged.
On the other hand, an Employee must refrain from offering
or accepting tickets for the Football World Cup abroad as
it is a gift of significant value not suited to the profession
and its practices.
2.2.
Prohibition of facilitation payments
Facilitation payments are sums of money of low value,
requested by public officials to obtain or accelerate theperformance of certain administrative acts (processing ofstate documents, issuing authorisations or permits, etc.).
Facilitation payments are strictly prohibited.
All Employees undertake to:collaborate with public authorities by providingthem with accurate and complete information;comply with public procurement regulations andbe particularly vigilant in their relations with public officials
or representatives of an administration, representatives ofa local authority or a French or foreign organisation;never make facilitation payments to a Public
Official, or give him or her any benefit, directly or
indirectly, that could in any way influence the manner inwhich he or she exercises his or her authority;
In case of doubt, the Employees are requested to approach
their line manager, Compliance Officer or the Chief Legal
Officer in order to obtain their opinion.

向 公 务人 员 赠送 礼 物或 者发 出 邀请 ;向某人提供礼物或邀请，以便以不正当的方式获得对价或影响他（她）或第三方的决
定(以 Believe 名义签订的合同、 由 Believe
名义所进行的宣传等)；
要求或接受礼物或邀请作为回报，提供
或积极促成合同签订或选择 Believe 的商业伙伴;在招标阶段或合同谈判过程中，提供或接受礼物或邀请。
但是，根据上述规定，某些礼物和邀请可以提供或予以接受，只要这些礼遇的价值不超过社会可接受惯例的限度，并且不超过每位雇员每
年 200 欧元（或等值外币）的限额。在某些国
家，这一门槛可能会降低，以顾及当地习俗。
在任何情况下，雇员所提供的金额不得超过受
益人允许接受的或其向雇员所提供的金额。
在任何情况下，雇员都应保留有关提供和接受
礼物或邀请的准确、书面的证明材料。
如果对礼物和邀请函有任何疑问或疑问，雇员应告知合规总监或法务总监。

示例雇员可在年终节日期间向制作方提供一盒巧克
力，因为这是一种价值合理的礼物，在传统上交换巧克力的 时间里 ，所提供的价格不超过
200 欧元。
另一方面，雇员必须避免提供或接受国外世界杯足球赛的门票，因为这是一份有重大价值的
礼物，不适合该职业及其业务职能。
2.2 禁止各种疏通费用
疏通费是公职官员为取得或加快执行某些行政
行为(处理国家文件、签发授权或许可证等)而
要求支付的价值较低的款项。
支付疏通费用是被严格禁止的全体雇员承诺
与公共部门合作，向其提供准确和完整的信息;
遵守公共采购法规，特别要警惕与公职
人员或行政当局代表、地方当局代表或法国或外国组织代表的关系;不向公职人员支付可能以任何方式影响
其行使权力的疏通费，亦不直接或间接地给予该公职人员任何利益;

5

2.3.
Conflicts of interest
The conflict of interest refers to any situation in which thepersonal interests of an Employee (or those of a legal or
natural person to which he or she is related or close) arecontrary to Believe’s interests.
Personal interest means any interest that may affect orappear to influence how the Employee performs the duties
and responsibilities entrusted to him or her by Believe.
Such a situation could, for example, occur if an Employee:
negotiates on behalf of Believe a contract in which
he or she, or one of his or her relatives, might have apersonal interest directly or via an intermediary;
has a financial interest in a Business Partner or acompetitor of Believe;
performs a paid activity on behalf of a third party,
for example, as an employee, consultant, agent, broker,
etc.;
is partnered with a person working with acompetitor of Believe;
enters into a contract with a producer for whom
the Employee's spouse works.
To the extent that a conflict of interest can conceal an actof corruption, it is essential that the Employees be vigilant
about the occurrence of conflict of interest situations.
All Employees undertake to:favour Believe's interests by refraining fromputting forward any personal, financial or family interests,
which could give rise to doubt as to their integrity;
inform their line managers as soon as possible andin writing in the event of potential or proven conflicts ofinterest;
refrain from participating in tasks andassignments entrusted to them and likely to give rise to aconflict of interest, if any.
Example:It might be acceptable for Believe to consider contractingwith the company of the wife of one of its Employees forservices related to the organisation of a concert. However,in such a context, the Employee must declare this situation
to his or her line manager and refrain from participating
personally in the selection of the service provider.
An Employee may not enter into a contract with a company
in which he or she is a shareholder without having reported
it to the Management of Believe and without having
obtained prior approval.
2.4.
Recruitment
The recruitment of a new Employee could constitute an actof corruption in the event that Believe is granted an undue
benefit by a third party in return for the hiring of aparticular candidate, especially in order to benefit from afuture contractualisation or to influence an administrativedecision.

如有疑问，雇员应与其直接负责管理人员、合规管理人员或法律事务总监联系，以征求他们
的意见。
2.3 利益冲突
利益冲突系指雇员(或与其有关联关系或关系密
切的法人或自然人)的个人利益与 BELIEVE 的利
益相冲突的任何情况。
个人利益指可能影响或似乎会影响雇员履行
BELIEVE 委托其 履行 的职责 和责 任的 任何利
益。
例如，雇员可能会存在以下情况:
代表 Believe 谈判合同，在该合同中，
他或她或其亲戚之一可能直接或通过中间人取得个人利益；
与商业伙伴或 BELIEVE 的竞争者存在经济利益关系;
代表第三方从事有偿活动的行为，如雇
员、顾问、代理人、经纪人等;
与 Believe 竞争对手的工作人员建立合伙关系;
与其配偶所工作的制作方签订合同。
在某种程度上，利益冲突可以掩盖腐败行为，员工必须警惕利益冲突情况的发生。
全体雇员承诺:为 Believe 的利益着想，避免提及任何可能引起对其诚信产生怀疑的个人、经济或
家庭利益;
如发生潜在的或经证实的利益冲突，应
尽快并以书面形式告知直接负责管理人员
避免参与可能导致其利益冲突任务的委
任和分配，如有。

示例：
Believe 考虑与其雇员之一的妻子所在公司签订与组织音乐会有关的服务合同，这是可以被接受的。但是，在这种情况下，雇员必须向他
或她的直接负责管理人员说明该情况，并避免亲自参与服务提供者的选择工作。

雇员未向 Believe 管理层报告，且未经批准，
不得与其持股公司签订合同。

2.4 招聘
如果 Believe 公司因雇用某一特定候选人而获
得第三方给予的不正当好处，特别是为了从未
6Thus Believe expects each Employee to refuse any undue
benefit (personal or in the course of the duties) granted bya third party in exchange for the recruitment of another
Employee.
Example:An Employee must refuse the request of one of his or her
clients to take his or her son in an internship if he or she
does not have the required competence and to grant him
or her a higher remuneration than that provided for in thetariff schedules, as well as benefits such as company
accommodation, against the promise of entering into newcontracts.
2.5.
Business Partners
The risk of corruption exists when Believe has a business
relationship with various Business Partners in the course of
its professional activities.
Indeed, in many circumstances, a company may be legally
liable for acts of corruption committed by its Business
Partner.
In the course of their activities, Employees are in contact
with many Business Partners, such as producers, artists
and their agents or lawyers, distributors, intermediaries,
suppliers, service providers, customers, etc.
They act in this context in accordance with the internal
procedures in place within Believe.
All Employees undertake to:carry out due diligence relating to the integrity of
the Business Partner adapted and proportionate to its
particular situation (reputation and any pending or
previous prosecutions, skills and resources in the required
field, ongoing or prior contractual relations with a Public
Official, etc.);
where applicable, select Business Partners in an
impartial manner based on predefined and transparent
criteria such as quality, service, cost, compliance withregulations etc.
Any business relationship with a Business Partner must
give rise to the establishment of a written and signed
contract. This contract must contain a clause confirmingthat the co-contractor undertakes to comply with allapplicable regulations.
The payments made must always be lawful, in accordancewith the terms of the contract, correspond to an
appropriate remuneration and be proportionate to theservice provided.
It is forbidden to:
make cash payments;
make payments to a different person than thesignatory of the contract;
make payments without presentation of a
supporting invoice in accordance with the content of thecontract.
All documents specific to the Business Partner's businessmust be kept throughout the business relationship(contract, proof of services, invoices, payments, etc.) inorder to facilitate any subsequent verification.

来的合约中获益或影响行政决定，则雇用新雇员的行为可能构成贪污行为。
因此，Believe 希望每个员工都拒绝第三方给
予的任何不正当利益（个人或在执行职责期间）以换取另一位员工的聘用。
示例：如果雇员的客户要求该雇员录用他或她的不具备所要求能力的孩子去实习，并且在不签订新
合同的情况下，要求给予他或她高于薪酬表规
定的报酬和公司福利例如住宿补贴，雇员必须拒绝该等要求。

2.5 商业伙伴
当 Believe 在业务发展中与商业伙伴建立商业关系的时候，存在贪污的风险。
事实上，在许多情况下，一家公司可能对其商业伙伴的贪污行为承担法律责任。
雇员在工作过程中，经常与许多商业伙伴接触，例如制作方、艺人、他们的代理人或律
师、经销商、中间人、供应商、服务提供者和客户等。
在此情况下，他们应按照 BELIEVE 内部制定的
程序行事
全体雇员承诺:就商业伙伴的诚信开展与其特殊情况(声誉、任何未决或先前的所在领域的诉讼、技能和资源、与公职人员的持续或先前的合同关系等)相称的尽职调查;在适用的情况下，基于事先确定和透明
公开的标准，如质量、服务、成本、是否符合
法规等，公平公正地选择商业伙伴。
与商业伙伴的任何商业关系应当以书面形式确
定，并签订合同。该合同必须包含一条确认合
同签约方承诺遵守所有适用法规的条款
根据合同条款，支付的款项必须始终是合法
的，符合适当的报酬要求，并与所提供的服务
相称。
禁止:
支付现金;
向合同签署人以外的其他人支付款项;在未出示与合同内容相符的发票的情况
下进行付款

2.6.
Lobbying
Lobbying is defined as any activity designed to influence
the decisions or directives of a government or institution infavour of a particular cause or expected outcome. In
particular, this is a constructive and transparent
contribution to the development of public policies onmatters related to the activities of a company or group.
This contribution aims to enrich the thinking of public
policy makers.
There is sometimes a narrow line between lobbying andcorruption. In fact, lobbying, although it is in principle
allowed, becomes wrongdoing and corrupt when the
person carrying out a lobbying activity offers or proposes
to offer a benefit to a Public Official in order to encourage
him or her to support legislation or activities that would be
favourable to him or her.
All Employees undertake to:demonstrate integrity, intellectual probity andtransparency in all relations with Public Officials,
regardless of the situation or interest being defended;
provide reliable and objective information,
without seeking to obtain information or decisions by
exercising any pressure;
not seek to obtain an undue advantage orfavourable decision;
ensure that interest representatives carry out
their activities in compliance with this Anti-Corruption
Code and applicable regulations.
2.7.
Donations, sponsorship and sponsoring
Believe may make donations, particularly to associations,and may carry out patronage and sponsorship activities.
Prior assurance of the reputation of the charity orsponsoring body should be obtained.
These donations, patronage and sponsorship activities
may, in some cases, be carried out with the aim ofobtaining or offering an undue benefit; such practices may
in this case be classified as corruption.
Thus, Believe expects each Employee to comply with thefollowing rules:
donations, patronage and sponsorship activities
are permitted, subject to compliance with applicable laws
and regulations, as part of the procedures applicablewithin Believe;
donations, patronage and sponsorship activities
must not be made to obtain or offer an undue benefit or to
improperly influence a decision;
the donation must never be made to a natural
person or paid in cash.
donations, patronage and sponsorship activities
must be authorised by Believe's Management and must be
the subject of a valid patronage or sponsorship contract

在整个业务关系中，必须保存与业务合作伙伴业务相关的所有文件(合同、服务证明、发票、付款等)，以便于后续的核查。
2.6 - 游说游说的定义是：为某一特定原因或达到预期结
果，旨在影响政府或机构作出决定或指示的任何行为。特别是对制定有关公司或集团活动的
公共政策具有建设性和显而易见的敦促行为，
该行为旨在影响公共政策制定者的想法。

游说和贪污有时只有一线之隔。事实上，游说虽然在原则上是允许的，但如果进行游说活动
的人提出或打算向公职人员提供好处，以鼓励他或她支持有利于对游说人员有利的立法或活动，游说就会变成不法行为和贪污行为。

全体雇员承诺:在与政府官员的一切关系中，不论所维护的情况或利益如何，都要表现出正直、理智
和透明性；
提供可靠和客观的信息，不得试图通过
施加任何压力获取信息或决策;-不寻求获得不正当好处或有利的决定;确保利益代表按照本《反贪腐准则》和适用的法规开展活动。
2.7
