Ethics

The Fonds de solidarité FTQ has two Codes of Ethics and Conduct that stipulate essentially the same obligations. The first is for managers and unionized employees while the second is geared to officers and directors of the Fonds’ Committees and Boards. Defining the rules of conduct, these Codes are designed to, among other things, avoid conflicts of interest.

The Codes also set out a whistleblowing procedure for reporting cases of non-compliance. Moreover, all employees, officers and directors must complete an annual declaration of interests and a statement of compliance.
