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.

Teamwork is a core Fonds de solidarité FTQ value. The greatest achievements rarely come from working alone but rather from a collaborative effort, where people help each other and share their knowledge.

RESPECT

The Fonds de solidarité FTQ employees must maintain harmonious and equitable working relations. In the same vein, shareholders-owners and business partners must be treated with respect in order to build lasting business relationships and a climate of trust.


INTEGRITY

The Fonds de solidarité FTQ believes in the utmost importance of adhering to a set of principles and ethical standards. Employees must act in a disciplined and ethical manner and report any situation that could jeopardize the Fonds’ integrity.
