CETT’s Commitment and CSR

At CETT, we assume a strong commitment to students, culture, the local area, and sustainability. For this reason, we have developed internal regulations and protocols to ensure that this commitment is present throughout the center’s various processes.

Code of Ethics

The Code of Ethics and Good Practices arises from the will to comply with current legislation, the recommendations of public authorities, social responsibility, and proper corporate professional conduct. The ethical principles that govern our activity are:

  • Good corporate governance.
  • Transparency.
  • Fair competition.
  • Value creation and sustainable economic growth with absolute respect for the environment.
  • Ongoing commitment to innovation.
  • Proactive and efficient social responsibility and engagement.
  • Loyalty to this Code.
  • Integrity and honesty.
  • Maximum protection of human rights and the freedoms of others.
  • Strict respect for legal frameworks.

Language Plan

Since its beginnings, CETT has upheld a firm commitment to the country and its own language, and consequently, to the promotion, development, study, and encouragement of the Catalan language on the CETT Campus. This commitment is an integral part of the essence and values of its strategic plan.

Through the Manifesto and the Language Use Protocol of the CETT Campus, CETT promotes the use of the Catalan language in a comprehensive manner across its various areas of application, while also ensuring its coexistence with other languages present on campus.

Disciplinary System and Equality

in the Student Guide, you can consult the various regulations and protocols, such as the EUHT CETT-UB Disciplinary Regulations, the Action Protocol for Cases of Harassment, or the Equality Plan.

Equality Unit

CETT has its own Equality Committee, which is responsible for promoting projects aimed at raising awareness across the entire staff, defining actions that foster a gender-balanced approach to the work and family environment, and establishing measures to prevent future inequalities. The committee ensures the effective application of the principle of equal opportunities in all areas of the organization.

Additionally, the University of Barcelona has an Equality Unit — a commitment not only of the Rectorate, but of the entire university community. Its goal is to make equality among all members of the university community a reality.
