ethos
Metre Squared Architecture is dedicated to ethical practices with all of its stakeholders: clients, partners, local authorities, and employees.
HONESTY - We are committed to being forthright in our dealings with all stakeholders. We strive to be truthful in all situations and at all times. To this end, we are committed to offering services of value that do what we claim in our communications. We will honour our explicit and implicit commitments and promises.
TRANSPARENCY - We are committed to transparency in our dealings with others and work to create a spirit of openness. To this end, we strive to communicate clearly with our clients, explaining foreseeable eventualities that could affect their decisions. Where possible, we strive to clearly disclose our own rates and fees as well as exclusions. We will listen to constructive criticism from all of our stakeholders with an open mind.
FAIRNESS - We believe in fair, equitable practices and strive to balance justly the needs of our stakeholders with the interests of Metre Squared. To this end, we will avoid false, misleading or deceptive claims. We will avoid knowing participation in conflicts of interest and seek to protect the private information of customers, employees and partners.
RESPECT - We acknowledge the basic human dignity of all stakeholders and decidedly reject any practice that undermines mutual trust and basic human rights. Metre Squared values individual differences, working to avoid discrimination based on race, culture, gender, sexual orientation, religious creed, or socio-economic status. We try to listen to the needs of customers and make all reasonable efforts to monitor and improve their satisfaction on an ongoing basis. We make every effort to understand and respectfully treat all stakeholders, and acknowledge the contributions of others, such as consultants, employees and coworkers. We strive to treat everyone, including our competitors, as we would wish to be treated.
CITIZENSHIP - We are committed to fulfilling our economic, legal and societal responsibilities. We will strive to protect the ecological environment and promote sustainable, responsible practices among all stakeholders. We will also work to promote local businesses and services, building positive relationships within the communities in which we work.
