Code of ethics

The work of BARCELONA ACTIVA is based on values and principles that underpin its corporate culture and are the benchmark for expected behaviour in operations and relations with third parties. These values and principles take part of our corporate identity and form the basis of a culture of resilience prepared to face challenges with integrity and excellence.

It aims to highlight the moral aspirations of the organisation and to serve as a reference guide on the behaviour expected by all members or members of Barcelona Activa.
