RULES

Our people

Health and Safety—We prioritize safety and health in our workplace.

Wherever we are, safety and well-being of our associates must always come first. We are committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace for all our associates including adequate emergency procedures and fire safety, management of hazardous materials, and housekeeping, with workplace safety laws and ensure proper working conditions. Associates are expected to perform their duties in a safe manner at all times, including operating machinery only according to instructions, and taking appropriate action when a safety hazard arises.

Do what’s right!

Follow the safety guidelines in place at each of our locations. You are accountable for maintaining an environment free of safety risks or health hazards. When a risk or an unexpected danger emerges, act quickly and safely to get it under control and seek help right away.

Do not come to work under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Remember: any substance that could impair our judgment or physical performance can ultimately harm our co-workers and our customers.

Maintain a safe workplace by resolving differences professionally and respectfully, never through acts or threats of violence, bullying or intimidation.

If any associate observes an unsafe situation it should be addressed immediately and reported to Health and Safety.

Discrimination, Harassment and Bullying—We do not tolerate discrimination, harassment or bullying.

We believe diversity in our workforce is an asset that enhances our creativity, innovation, and growth. Our associates’ different cultures, sexual orientations, gender identity, age, backgrounds and experiences allow issues to be seen from varied perspectives, thereby enriching the decision-making process. As representatives of EcoCare, associates are prohibited from discriminating against others.

Associates are ensured fundamental human rights that do not conflict with the EcoCare business. These rights (e.g. political, social, and cultural) should not be infringed. The Company will not tolerate discrimination on the basis of a person’s race, religion, creed, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, or other protected status, or, harassment or bullying of its associates by anyone, including any supervisor, co-worker, associate or non-associate, vendor, client, or customer of the Company. Harassment may occur where a person is subjected to unwanted conduct which, when reasonably viewed from the perception of the person being subjected to such conduct and in light of all of the circumstances, has the purpose or effect of violating their dignity or creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating, or offensive environment for the person.

All individuals have the right to work in an environment, which is free from discrimination, bullying and harassment. The Company is committed to providing a workplace in which all individuals are given appropriate dignity and respect. Everyone has a responsibility to respect the feelings and sensibilities of others in the workplace, and to behave in a way that does not cause offence. In some instances individuals may be unaware that their behavior is causing offence, but it is the duty of each individual to be sensitive to the impact their conduct may have on coworkers.

Any suspected violations should be reported to the Legal Department. You may also make a good-faith report of suspected violations or seek guidance by accessing the Integrity Line.
