Governance

DIRTT’s culture is built on trust. We’re colleagues, stakeholders and team members. We work together. We help and care about each other, our partners and clients. We take great pride in our work. And we do business ethically and responsibly. We rely on each other to speak truthfully, honour commitments, and treat others with professionalism and respect. We’re passionate about improving the world around us. Environmental solutions is part of our name, after all. Every level of our company reflects a devotion to the wellbeing of our planet. We mitigate waste and reduce our carbon footprint. It’s central to who we are and everything we do.

The DIRTT Integrity Policy provides guidance for every director, officer, consultant and employee of the Corporation to maintain the highest integrity. And it provides procedures to follow when the integrity of any person’s actions or perceived actions are not in accordance with our responsibilities. Many companies call this the Whistleblower Policy. For DIRTT, it’s more encompassing.

If you believe someone with DIRTT has violated the company’s Integrity Program, you may confidentially report their actions to the DIRTT Audit Committee or call the confidential 24/7/365 hotline at 1-866-921-6714 and speak to a live agent.
