Member Code of Conduct
The Member Code of Conduct provides an ethical framework for the conduct of SPDA members’ businesses and other activities.
The Code of Conduct defines how SPDA members are to relate to industry, government, employees, suppliers, consumers, and the community. Sustainable Projects Developers Association members require members to operate in a professional manner, and with the highest level of commercial integrity.
In practice
This Code of Conduct provides a common behavioural framework for all SPDA members. Together with our purpose and strategic goals, it is a key part of the SPDA culture.
The Code of Conduct is not intended to be all-encompassing. There are areas in which SPDA expects members to develop detailed policies in accordance with development of time. The Code of Conduct provides a set of guiding principles to incorporate with whatever additional policies are required in businesses.
