Code of Ethics
EVCOM are extremely proud to position clients at the heart of everything we do and have created a new Code of Ethics for members.
New members will have to agree to comply with this new code. We hope, above all, it will create a common purpose which will help EVCOM members to differentiate themselves and to stand out.
CLIENT FIRST
Our clients are our number one priority – client interests always come first.
RESPECT
We will hold our clients, partners and suppliers in the highest regard, irrespective of race, religion, disability, gender, age or sexual orientation.
PASSION
We will bring a passion to our work that is a reflection of our commitment to our clients and a reflection upon us as professionals.
COLLABORATION
We will work with our client, all other suppliers and partners, as consummate professionals. We will operate on a trust-based partnership with all whom we work with to secure the best outcome for our client.
DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
We will work actively to combat the lack of diversity and inclusion in our sector. We will commit to tackling barriers to recruitment and career progression for underrepresented groups, and to greater senior representation.
EXCELLENCE
In the service we provide, from advice to execution, we will strive always to do the best work possible for our clients.
INTEGRITY
Everything we do on behalf of our client will stand up to scrutiny. From income sources, to suppliers used, and fees invoiced.
ACCESSIBILITY
We will consider a diverse range of access needs when planning and executing projects.
SUSTAINABILITY
We will work to create events and projects that are as sustainable as possible, from suppliers to venues and locations.
CONSENT
We will respect people’s different physical and emotional boundaries. We will deal with any situations in which people’s consent is breached very seriously.
