Ethics

Our ethical roots

The TERRA IMPACT SOCIETY culture is rooted in our powerful values and more specifically in the triple bottom line : People, Planet, Profit first coined and popularized in 1994 by John Elkington, business writer and founder of the management consultancy SustainAbility. Since its inception 25 years ago, this idea has permeated into business practice.

At the Origins ...

We love and understand businesses and the people who drive its because we are entrepreneurs ourselves! This naturally leads us to broach every topics with honesty, transparency, and fairness, always mindful of the trust placed in us by our clients, partners, and team members.

Our values stem from our deep-rooted rural and agricultural heritage, combined with our international academic education spanning economics, finance, and the humanities - all anchored in strong convictions. We strive to humbly create value and foster the conditions that will drive progress in the economic world and society, blending sobriety, simplicity, pragmatism, and ambition.

We each hold a piece of the puzzle ! By working together, we can implement powerful changes that contribute to global sustainability goals and harness the collective power of humanity to build a more equitable, sustainable, and prosperous future for all.

Ethics is at the heart of our purpose and of everything we do and how we do it.

Humanism

At TERRA IMPACT SOCIETY, we deeply and strongly believe that human-centered organizations are the ones that will change the World. We exist to support you in setting your sustainability vision and ambition and finally building a more sustainable future by helping you find and fulfil a new more purpose-driven way of doing business. We place respect for human beings and the environment at the core of everything we do, ensuring that business growth goes hand in hand with ethical, social, and ecological responsibility.

Sharing

What a magnificent word - "sharing"! One of those words with a double meaning, much like those Sigmund Freud appreciated.For us, sharing means not only exchanging ideas and best practices, but also risks, responsibilities, and actions. We believe it is the only way forward to tackle today’s and tomorrow’s challenges.
Thus, the first task of ethics must be to organize this sharing. Because to share is, in essence, to receive one’s part, but also to take part.

Excellence

The excellence we owe you! Excellence represents the highest standard, the pursuit of what is best. Practicing ethics allows each of us to reach excellence, creating a positive ripple effect throughout our entire ecosystem. By continuously questioning our practices, valuing your feedback, and relying on our advisory and strategic committees, we stay inspired and challenged in this relentless quest for excellence.

Transmission

Transmission is at the heart of our ethics and values. It fosters openness and enrichment within a relationship of trust, built daily and strengthened alongside you. Rooted in the present yet forward-looking, it shapes the future we are building together. As a fundamental pillar of human society, transmission connects us all, making each of us an integral part of this shared journey.

Integrity

Acting with honesty and respect, staying true to our values, and making fair decisions are, in our view, essential and fundamental. Integrity means adhering to principles with a deep sense of identity, embodying who we are at TERRA IMPACT SOCIETY. For us, what we think, what we say, and what we do are one and the same.

Commitment

Acting and inspiring you to act—because together, as economic, political, and academic stakeholders, we have the power to drive change. Every concrete action in favor of sustainable development serves to inspire, instill, and convince others to follow. TERRA IMPACT SOCIETY empowers you to take action, enabling you to make a difference at every level and become true agents of your own transition!

Embedded ethics

The way we act and the choices we make, both as individuals and as a company, define us and serve as the tangible expression of our ethical principles. In a world of constant change, our core values—humanism, sharing, transmission, integrity, and excellence—form a true guiding framework, enabling us to act responsibly every day.
