Code of Ethics
At ECT, we are convinced that to act in a sustainable and long-lasting way, our company must foster a shared commitment among all its employees and stakeholders.
Â
Our Code of Ethics is intended to express as clearly as possible this commitment and the ambitions that drive it, centered around three core values : respect, excellence, and leadership. It is the responsibility of every employee to embrace the company’s values and put them into practice on a daily basis in the performance of their duties. We expect our relationships with our stakeholders to be grounded in mutual respect for these values.
RESPECT
We place people at the heart of our mission by ensuring the safety, health, and well-being of our employees, providing supportive and fulfilling working conditions. We ensure that no employee is subject to any form of discrimination and that everyone’s rights are recognized within a framework of fairness and open dialogue. We are firmly and continuously committed to complying with all applicable laws, regulations, and obligations. Respect for rules and the rejection of any form of unethical behavior—such as fraud or corruption—guide our interactions with our private and public stakeholders. We act every day to honor our commitments by building close, ethical, and trustworthy relationships with them. The sustainable and responsible development of our business is grounded in respect for the environment, in mitigating and adapting to climate change, and in combating biodiversity loss.
Our actions are carried out with respect for the territories in which we operate, honoring their history and their future. Our projects are designed with respect for the broader landscape, with the goal of creating and enhancing ecological environments that support biodiversity. We also pay close attention to the impacts of our sites on the quality of life of local residents and future users.
EXCELLENCE
As passionate professionals in our field, excellence is our top priority. We strive to earn the trust of our stakeholders—clients, local authorities and public bodies, suppliers, and nonprofit partners. The expectations and needs of those we work with are constantly evolving. We sustain this excellence by demonstrating our ability to innovate and by pursuing continuous and ethical improvement. Adaptability is the cornerstone of our development and of our relationships with third parties. Excellence is a collective ambition that we seek to cultivate in a spirit of mutual support and collaboration. The quality of our work, services, and offerings is rooted in strong professional expertise and rigor, which are the driving forces behind this excellence.
LEADERSHIP
The comprehensive and systematic approach we have developed to repurpose excavated soil from construction and public works sites—within a local circular economy and for the creation of useful, non-built, environmentally focused, and collaboratively designed developments—is unique. It places us in a leadership position.
This leadership drives us to lead by example. Our distinctive model for designing, delivering, and financing projects that restore neglected urban and peri-urban spaces gives meaning to our work; we seek to mobilize, unite, and uphold the values promoted by the circular economy. Our ambition is to strengthen our position as a benchmark by empowering each of us to continually renew our offerings for our clients and to develop projects aligned with the ecological, climate, and societal transitions of local communities. This strong ambition, supported by our expertise, is intended to place us on a path of sustained growth.
ETHICAL REFERENT
We strongly encourage open dialogue around our values. ECT managers are available at all times to discuss these matters. Everyone is encouraged to freely express any concerns regarding our Code of Ethics : to seek advice or report a situation that may constitute a breach of our values, you may also contact the company’s Ethical Referent, Rizlaine Saghraoui.
