At TTMAC, integrity, fairness, respect, compliance, and transparency guide everything we do. Every Director, consultant, contractor, employee, and representative is expected to uphold these standards to protect our reputation and the public interest.

• Act with integrity and respect—create a workplace and community free from discrimination and harassment.

• Comply with laws and regulations—in both letter and spirit.

• Avoid and manage conflicts of interest—and seek guidance if unsure.

• Protect privacy and confidentiality—handle personal and confidential information responsibly.

• Use association assets responsibly—including IT systems and intellectual property.

A full Code of Ethics / Conduct Policy is available for download.

We expect professional, respectful behaviour in all dealings—with members, staff, suppliers, applicants, and the public. Discrimination or harassment is not tolerated. Members and representatives champion equity, diversity, and inclusion in everyday practices, processes, and decisions.

Privacy

We manage the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information with care and in alignment with applicable privacy requirements. Those handling personal information must follow TTMAC privacy policies and procedures.

Appropriate Use of Property & Technology

TTMAC assets—physical and digital—are for legitimate association purposes. Representatives must protect these assets from loss, misuse, or theft and use IT resources responsibly.

Conflicts of Interest, Gifts & Hospitality

Personal interests must not conflict with TTMAC’s interests.

• Arrange private affairs to prevent actual, apparent, or potential conflicts.

• Do not exploit non-public information for personal gain.

• Decline gifts or hospitality that could influence—or appear to influence—objectivity.

Environment & Sustainability

We support environmentally responsible practices and continuous improvement, aligning our work with the principles of sustainable development.

Health & Safety

Leaders are responsible for maintaining a healthy, safe workplace. Everyone shares responsibility to follow safety directives and take sensible precautions to protect themselves and others.
