Model Code of Ethics for a Construction Firm
Background:
Since its founding more than 90 years ago, the Canadian Construction Association (CCA) has worked to improve the business environment in the construction industry. CCA developed one of the first industry codes of ethics in the 1950's. It has developed and continues to produce standard industry contract forms and best practices guides designed to establish and promote industry-endorsed and recommended practices and procedures and to promote integrity throughout the contracting chain. In keeping with that tradition and a renewed emphasis on matters of ethics as outlined in CCA's new Strategic Plan, the following Model Code of Ethics has been developed by CCA for use by its members.
Purpose of Model Code:
The purpose of this Model Code is to provide a template or starting point for a construction firm wishing to develop its own Code of Ethics. CCA recommends that firms wishing to adopt or adapt this Code as their own or to add portions of it to their existing Codes consult their legal advisors as part of that process.
