Professional architects and engineers.
ARCHITEAM is a multidisciplinary study firm that assists its clients in shaping their ideas and processes on a broad basis.
Architeam strives to align our projects and activities with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a focus on a positive impact for people and the planet.
Learn more about the SDGs tailored to Architeam.
In our dealings with colleagues, clients, suppliers and others in our community, we expect everyone at Architeam to help promote our mission, vision and values.
This code of conduct sets out the principles and expectations that guide everything we do for Architeam and its sister companies. In this way, we strengthen one another and our organisation as a close-knit team.
Together, we are committed to contributing to sustainable development whilst minimising our impact on people and the environment.
We respect one another and show respect for our environment in the broadest sense of the word.
We treat all information received as confidential and ensure it is kept confidential. We recognise the value of proprietary knowledge, customer information and other data, and protect it with the utmost care. Customers may be asked to sign a confidentiality agreement.
We do not leave confidential information unattended.
Only the company representative communicates on behalf of Architeam via (social) media, whilst respecting confidentiality rules.
Our colleagues are the building blocks of Architeam. We show respect for everyone and uphold our core values of “respect, honesty, motivation and attitude” in our dealings with others. We inspire those around us. We do not tolerate inappropriate behaviour such as bullying, discrimination, sexual harassment, aggression or violence.
We embrace our vision and work together to ensure that every employee feels at home at Architeam.
We help to create a pleasant and peaceful working atmosphere. For longer conversations or meetings, we retreat to the canteen or meeting room so as not to disturb other staff members.
Our managers exercise their authority in an appropriate and fair manner.
We attach great importance to order and tidiness. We tidy up our own workspaces at the end of the working day, keep the areas clean (meeting room, canteen), put our crockery in the dishwasher and sort our rubbish, partly out of respect for our maintenance team.
We can make use of the flex desks. These workstations are freely available to all staff on a “first come, first served” basis. The desks are equipped with a monitor, connections for a laptop and a landline telephone. Staff log in to the landline via hotdesking so that they can also be reached on their landline number. Their own keyboard and mouse should be returned to the storage box after use.
Our clients and suppliers are key partners of ARCHITEAM:
Respect is mutual: We do not tolerate bullying, discrimination, (sexual) harassment, aggression, violence, abuse of position or any other inappropriate behaviour that could undermine the dignity, well-being or professional integrity of individuals or our staff.
This is in line with our ESG commitments regarding social responsibility, people’s wellbeing and business ethics.
Conflict of interest: We always act in Architeam’s best interests and, if there is any doubt regarding a conflict of interest, we inform our line manager.
Acting ethically: We act with integrity and honesty, and treat everyone in accordance with these principles. We do not work with clients or suppliers who question or fail to respect these ethical values.
Bribery/fraud/corruption: We have a strict zero-tolerance policy.
Donations: A business gift may only be accepted within a strict framework if it does not influence the integrity of a business decision or the loyalty of the persons concerned.
The health and safety of our staff is our top priority. We take preventative action to the best of our knowledge and ability, and report any risks or hazards to our line manager. In this way, we prevent risks and minimise accidents and occupational illnesses.
Architeam ensures a safe and healthy working environment, in physical, mental and social terms.
We comply with health and safety regulations on construction sites and always wear the appropriate personal protective equipment correctly.
Business assets (computer, telephone, email, internet, vehicle, etc.): We do not modify any hardware or software applications; we do not download or install any external software ourselves. If necessary, we consult our IT manager about this.
We treat each other with respect: we do not send pornographic, racist, discriminatory, offensive or hurtful material. Anyone who receives such material should contact their line manager and inform the sender of the inappropriate behaviour.
Passwords are personal and must not be shared with colleagues or anyone else!
All company assets made available by Architeam are intended for business purposes. We shall treat them with the appropriate sense of responsibility and the necessary respect. All company assets remain the property of the company and must be returned upon termination of the employment contract.
Any breach of this code of conduct must be reported to the line manager, who in turn will inform the board. The manager will decide whether an investigation is necessary and determine the next steps.
A report can also be made to the mental coach, who will take further action with the consent of the person concerned.
Breaches of the rules set out in this code of conduct may result in disciplinary action (a verbal warning, a written warning, or even dismissal for serious cause).
Bij een strafbaar feit wordt ook de politie ingelicht.
_
Bij twijfel of een vermoeden van inbreuk kan contact worden opgenomen met de leidinggevende of de ‘mental coach’. Het blijft bovendien steeds mogelijk om bezorgdheden rechtstreeks aan de directie te melden.
DISCOVER OUR EXPERTISES
Good and concrete solutions require a global vision. Understanding the client's process is central to this.
Besides a base in Architecture and Planning, we have expertise in the secondary disciplines of Environment, Soil, Stability, Techniques and Infrastructure, Safety and Prevention, Energy and Sustainability.
In the initial phase of each project, a picture of its sustainability impact is formed. The importance of (further) developing a resistant vision is highlighted and, where necessary, objectives are adjusted in consultation.
The vision refines into business processes, organisation or building optimisation: "The most sustainable m² in a building is that m² that can be avoided".
As a consultancy and service provider, Architeam plays an important role in raising the awareness of its clients. As early as the feasibility phase of each project, Architeam emphasises sustainability: the faster the implementation, the more efficient.
Our vision is translated into a concrete approach when realising the project, among other things by defining minimum or maximum values (insulation, emissions, discharges, heat and solar gains, natural light, etc.) or by intelligent design (economical use of space, balanced land use, etc.).

ARCHITEAM zet zich als multidisciplinair studiebureau in voor het leveren van hoogwaardige oplossingen binnen de bouwsector in België en Europa, conform de ESG-duurzaamheidsprincipes.
Wij bevorderen duurzaam ondernemen en duurzame bouwpraktijken door middel van efficiëntie, innovatie en milieuverantwoordelijkheid. Ons beleid omvat het minimaliseren van de ecologische voetafdruk en het bevorderen van sociale verantwoordelijkheid in al onze projecten.
E – Environment: We verbinden ons ertoe om onze ecologische voetafdruk te minimaliseren door gebruik te maken van duurzame bouwpraktijken, duurzame materialen, energie-efficiënte ontwerpen en ‘groene’ bouwmethoden. We promoten het behalen van milieucertificeringen voor al onze projecten.
S – Social: We zetten ons in voor de bevordering van het welzijn van mensen evenals het creëren van veilige en gezonde werkomstandigheden. Daarnaast ondersteunen we lokale gemeenschappen door werkgelegenheid te genereren en samenwerking te stimuleren.
G – Governance: Transparantie en verantwoordingsplicht vormen de kern van ons beleid. We hanteren ethische bedrijfspraktijken, waarbij integriteit en naleving van de regelgeving centraal staan.
Met respect voor alle stakeholders gaat ARCHITEAM gepassioneerd aan de slag om elk project op een slimme en veilige manier tot een kwalitatief goed einde te brengen, volgens de specificaties en volgens de vigerende wetgeving. Projecten worden procesmatig benaderd volgens de “lean principes” waarbij klanttevredenheid centraal staat. Wij hebben een toonaangevende rol door duurzaamheid centraal te stellen in al onze activiteiten. Met deze waarden willen we groei creëren in de maatschappij, voor onze klanten, ons bedrijf en onze medewerkers.
Met leiderschap en eigenaarschap nemen we beslissingen op een maatschappelijk verantwoorde wijze. Ons engagement voor duurzaamheid start bij het bevorderen van de efficiëntie van het bouwproces tot en met het exploitatieproces, het minimaliseren van de ecologische voetafdruk en het integreren van innovatieve technieken om resource-efficiëntie te verhogen binnen een circulaire economie.
Daarnaast nemen we onze sociale verantwoordelijkheid door te zorgen voor veilige en gezonde werkomstandigheden. Mede door ons goed te organiseren, duidelijk te communiceren en het geven van opleidingen bevorderen we het welzijn van de mensen die betrokken zijn bij onze activiteiten. Hierin hebben onze medewerkers respect voor mekaar, voor het bedrijf, de klant en het milieu. We staan in voor elkaars welzijn, waarbij we zowel het fysieke als mentale welzijn promoten. We willen elke vorm van discriminatie mijden. Schade aan het milieu en materiële schade willen we eveneens voorkomen.
Wij verwachten van elke medewerker dat hij oplossingsgericht denkt en handelt. Op elk niveau stimuleren we handelen op basis van het inschatten van de risico’s. We willen authentiek en innovatief zijn om ons zo te onderscheiden van de rest.
Om ons beleid kracht bij te zetten handelen wij volgens het managementsysteem ISO 9001. Wij blijven streven naar continue verbetering door regelmatige evaluatie van onze processen en het implementeren van nieuwe methoden die bijdragen aan een duurzamere toekomst.
Samen met onze klanten, belanghebbenden, partners, gemeenschappen en onze medewerkers engageren wij ons voor een duurzame, milieuvriendelijke en sociaal verantwoorde toekomst.
