OUR ETHICS
The GranTerre approach aims at ensuring that all activities are carried out in full compliance with good governance and environmental, social and economic aspects.
CODE OF ETHICS
To support its governance framework and promote a culture of integrity and accountability, the Group has adopted a Code of Ethics aimed at ensuring transparent and responsible conduct.
The Code of Ethics consists of the values and principles that guide the business activities of the group every day. Its key elements include the mission statement, the company values and both general and specific standards of conduct.
Through the Code of Ethics, the group strives to act as a proactive and forward-looking player, promoting the adoption of new technologies to reduce its environmental impact. This commitment is supported by structured management approaches and the pursuit of recognized environmental certifications.
Respect for human dignity is a core principle for the Group. The Code of Ethics reinforces this commitment by ensuring that all activities are carried out with full respect for ethical, social, and environmental considerations, fostering responsible and sustainable development.
SUPPLIER CODE OF CONDUCT
The Supplier Code of Conduct is a manifesto addressed to all GranTerre Group suppliers to share our vision with them on how to achieve the goal of operating in a responsible and sustainable way with a view to continuous improvement.
The Supplier Code of Conduct contains all the essential principles and values that must govern and inspire the relationship between suppliers and GranTerre Group companies and employees. Our Code of Conduct aims to encourage collaboration between suppliers and the group, not only to improve our business relationships, but also because, as companies, we are responsible for our impacts on people and the planet, and we can help build a good, healthy and intact future with people and for people, as stated in the GranTerre Brand Manifesto.
