A high level group commitment
Our core belief at Tractebel? Without ethics, there is no future for our company. To be a reliable and responsible partner, that's what we are committed to. Every Tractebel employee is trained on ethically acceptable behaviour as defined in our Ethics Charter, Practical Guide to Ethics and Policies.
“Our ethics principles are the foundations of our business and a key driver for our future growth. All Tractebel staff must be committed to fully respect and promote these ethics principles in an exemplary way. To be compliant with Ethics is a basic rule that should be integrated in all our business activities. We are all accountable for it, at all levels and, as already clearly stated before, a zero-tolerance policy will be applied towards any instances of non-compliance. Doing business with Ethics is a condition number one.”
Philippe Van Troeye
