To create vibrant, inviting spaces, one must be more of a gardener than an engineer. Think and work in terms of the whole, not individual parts. Work for joy, with joy, and in a responsible manner—for ourselves, society, and the environment. That is what makes us want to work at TAM, what makes our partners want to work with us, and how we increase the value of our customers’ investments.

We at TAM have together developed this Code of Conduct to clarify who we are and how everyone working on behalf of TAM (employees and business partners) should act. Each of us is responsible for upholding TAM’s integrity and reputation. Therefore, we are all personally responsible for reading, understanding, and acting in accordance with the Code.

Stina Oja, CEO

1. We are passionate about helping our clients. That is why we ensure we have the necessary qualifications and expertise. We share relevant knowledge and experience within our teams and across the entire company. We take ownership and accept personal responsibility when we need help. It’s okay to make mistakes at work sometimes; with the support of encouraging managers and a collaborative environment, we can resolve even difficult situations in the best possible way.

2. We collaborate, put the team before ourselves, and treat each other with respect. We are empathetic and attentive to one another. We do not tolerate trash talk or bullying, as it negatively affects both individuals and the entire workplace.

3. We ensure that all employees, regardless of background and circumstances, have the opportunity to bring their ideas to life and help TAM achieve success. We are convinced that diversity and inclusion lead to greater innovation, better decision-making, profitability, and attractiveness. We do not tolerate discrimination based on gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation, age, or any other grounds for discrimination.

4. We work systematically to create a safe and healthy workplace that helps our employees maintain a good work-life balance and deliver successful and sustainable results.

1. We continue to be a leader in our industry by constantly challenging ourselves and developing our work methods, offerings, and relationships.

2. We strive to ensure that every project serves as a strong reference for future business. By putting the customer first and helping to clarify each individual need, we ensure that the customer gets what they need.

3. We always follow up on our work to ensure the client is satisfied and continuously improve our methods to meet the changing needs of our clients and society.

4. We create value and exceed our customers’ expectations through innovation, creativity, our experience in real estate and urban development, analytical skills, and our long-term perspective and commitment to a place.

1. You cannot do business on a dead planet. We take the threats to the climate and biodiversity seriously and work to reduce the environmental footprint of our value chain and create a positive footprint whenever possible.

2. We apply a precautionary principle to substances, processes, and activities that have an environmental impact.

3. We will, as far as possible, use low-impact transportation for business travel.

4. We will constantly strive to improve and contribute to long-term sustainable development. We support and encourage the use and development of environmentally friendly technologies, products, and services and contribute to sustainable development.

1. Although TAM will always actively compete for new business, our operations must always be conducted in accordance with sound business practices, promote free competition, and uphold high ethical standards so that our integrity or objectivity is never called into question.

2. We oppose corruption in all forms and do not tolerate bribes, kickbacks, or improper benefits in our business dealings. We understand that an industry-wide practice cannot be viewed as tacit approval.

3. TAM is politically neutral and makes no payments or donations of any kind to political parties, candidates, or their representatives. Although TAM does not participate directly in party politics, we may participate in political debates that are of legitimate interest to our business, our employees, and the communities in which we operate.

4. We want all the goods and services we purchase to be produced under sustainable and responsible conditions. We impose corresponding requirements on our suppliers, which means that the supplier must comply with this Code as well as the Real Estate Industry’s Code of Conduct for Suppliers, which we endorse. Among other things, it includes provisions regarding freedom of association, statutory leave, a safe working environment, undeclared work, forced labor, and child labor. We expect our suppliers to do their utmost to meet these requirements within their own organizations and to actively work to ensure compliance among their subcontractors.

5. We support and respect human rights and the ILO’s core conventions. We avoid directly or indirectly adversely affecting human rights in our business operations, and take corrective action if this should occur.

1. We are all personally responsible for reading, understanding, and acting in accordance with the Code. Violations of the Code may result in disciplinary action, including termination.

2. Managers with personnel and/or project responsibilities are responsible for communicating and acting in accordance with the Code. This includes, among other things, leading by example and ensuring that employees receive the necessary information. Managers must also be available if an employee feels uncertain about how to act or wishes to report a violation.

3. We encourage an open and honest culture where all employees can report suspected violations of the Code or applicable law in good faith. Employees can always raise the issue with their immediate manager or the CEO.

4. TAM is what we collectively make it. We uphold TAM’s integrity and reputation and achieve great things together.
