At LIST, diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging are at the heart of our culture. We value differences in age, background, abilities, gender and identity, recognizing that they drive creativity, innovation and collective success. Through dedicated actions, from equal opportunities and well-being to targeted support, we foster an inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive and contribute to our shared mission.
At the heart of our values, sustainability is more than just an approach for us. It is a mindset to be adopted and injected into each of our actions, both personal and professional. Our belief: we can and must all be the drivers of change for a society and for an economy that respects the environment and our future generations.


LIST has established a Code of Ethics that defines the principles guiding both its research and innovation activities, as well as its business and administration practices. These principles serve as the foundation for assessing projects, plans and practices across the organization.
At LIST, health, safety and environmental responsibility are integral to our daily activities. We are committed to providing a safe and sustainable working environment that protects our people, supports well-being, and minimizes environmental impact.
This commitment is reflected in our ISO 45001 certification, the international standard for occupational health and safety management systems. Our certificates are available here.


LIST is committed to the highest standards of ethical conduct and strives to create a safe environment in which violations of the law can be reported without fear of reprisal.
To this end, and in accordance with European and national legislation, LIST has set up a reporting system that allows violations of national or directly applicable European law by LIST to be reported safely.
