Lafarge and the Cost of Moral Bankruptcy

The award-winning, Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into a compliance-related topic, literally going into the weeds to explore a subject. In this episode, we consider the recent guilty plea by Lafarge, the French cement giant now owned by Holcim, for paying bribes and protection money to ISIS and doing business in Syria with ISIS. Highlights include:

  • What are the background facts?
  • What were the bribery and payment schemes?
  • What are the compliance lessons learned?
  • How will the victim status play out?
  • Who will guarantee compliance of Lafarge with the Plea Agreement?
