Code of Ethics

Last update: 26/05/2023

We believe equal­i­ty, respect and integri­ty are fun­da­men­tal prin­ci­ples that run through all our activ­i­ties. To help achieve this, we have estab­lished a code of ethics which is inte­grat­ed at the heart of our mis­sion. It defines the stan­dards and val­ues that guide the organ­i­sa­tion and its employ­ees in their inter­ac­tions with cus­tomers, part­ners and sup­pli­ers. This doc­u­ment is a ref­er­ence for our deci­sions and com­mit­ments to ensure our activ­i­ties are con­duct­ed eth­i­cal­ly. In addi­tion, this code con­tributes to cre­at­ing a trans­par­ent and account­able envi­ron­ment, fos­ter­ing the trust of all stake­hold­ers in our organ­i­sa­tion.

Our mission and values

Since the cre­ation of Weezevent in 2008, our mis­sion has been to pro­vide every­one, ama­teurs and pro­fes­sion­als from all sec­tors, with access to tech­nol­o­gy and tools essen­tial to their events’ suc­cess.

That’s why every deci­sion we make, from prod­uct design to cus­tomer ser­vice to busi­ness man­age­ment, is above all dri­ven by the desire to be the best solu­tion for all event organ­is­ers.

We are proud to be a 100% inde­pen­dent com­pa­ny, prof­itable since our incep­tion, and we firm­ly believe that healthy and con­trolled growth is prefer­able to hyper-growth with­out a com­pass.

We focus on these 4 val­ues to ensure they are includ­ed in all our actions:

• Inno­va­tion: We always strive to excel by using cre­ativ­i­ty and look to new ideas to dri­ve change and pos­i­tive progress in all aspects of our organ­i­sa­tion.
• Ambi­tion: We set high tar­gets and work with deter­mi­na­tion to achieve them, con­stant­ly seek­ing to improve in order to cre­ate last­ing val­ue to every­one.
• Diver­si­ty: Diver­si­ty is a rich­ness, and we ensure that our solu­tions and work envi­ron­ment can reflect all per­spec­tives and opin­ions.
• Pas­sion: We believe our enthu­si­asm is the key to unlock­ing our full poten­tial and achiev­ing great things togeth­er.

We are an inter­na­tion­al team spread over 6 offices and are unit­ed by a com­mon goal: to help you cre­ate unfor­get­table expe­ri­ences. We take pride in work­ing along­side you to craft emo­tion­al con­nec­tions, fos­ter mean­ing­ful encoun­ters, and facil­i­tate shared expe­ri­ences, ensur­ing that every event becomes an unfor­get­table and dis­tinc­tive moment.
All employ­ees must respect this code of ethics in their pro­fes­sion­al life and brand rep­re­sen­ta­tion out­side of work. This implies that it applies to all inter­ac­tions between team­mates, includ­ing at events, trade shows, shared online spaces (Slack, email, etc.), social media, and oth­er sit­u­a­tions where they rep­re­sent Weezevent.

Each employ­ee adheres to the fol­low­ing fun­da­men­tal prin­ci­ples:

1. Strict­ly enforce inter­nal laws, reg­u­la­tions and stan­dards.
2. Treat each indi­vid­ual with equi­ty and dig­ni­ty, with­out any form of dis­crim­i­na­tion.
3. Con­sid­er the envi­ron­men­tal impact of our actions and reduce the company’s eco­log­i­cal foot­print.
4. Ensure gen­der equal­i­ty by offer­ing equal oppor­tu­ni­ties for career devel­op­ment.
5. Act with hon­esty, trans­paren­cy, sin­cer­i­ty and reli­a­bil­i­ty in all sit­u­a­tions.
6. Respect the rules of free com­pe­ti­tion and reject cor­rup­tion in all its forms.
7. Demon­strate loy­al­ty to the com­pa­ny by avoid­ing con­flicts of inter­est and main­tain­ing the con­fi­den­tial­i­ty of infor­ma­tion.
8. Encour­age the spir­it of sol­i­dar­i­ty and mutu­al assis­tance to achieve the com­pa­ny’s com­mon goals.
9. Pro­tect the Group’s assets and com­mit to con­tin­u­ous­ly improv­ing the qual­i­ty of prod­ucts and ser­vices.
10. Main­tain polit­i­cal and reli­gious neu­tral­i­ty with­in the com­pa­ny and its ser­vices.

Data protection

True to our com­mit­ment from the begin­ning, it is impor­tant to remem­ber that our users are the sole mas­ters of their data. Weezevent was cre­at­ed by event organ­is­ers, so data own­er­ship is a found­ing ele­ment that we will con­tin­ue to defend.

Every user can access their data any­time, and we put all our ener­gy into pro­tect­ing this. We are proud of our rep­u­ta­tion as a trust­ed provider, recog­nised by cus­tomers such as the French Gov­ern­ment and many oth­er organ­is­ers for the secu­ri­ty and pro­tec­tion of their data.

Sustainable development

We are ful­ly aware of the impor­tance of our respon­si­bil­i­ty towards the envi­ron­ment. We are active­ly com­mit­ted to reduc­ing our car­bon foot­print and pro­mot­ing sus­tain­able prac­tices at all lev­els of our com­pa­ny. Here is an overview of the spe­cif­ic actions we are tak­ing to pro­mote sus­tain­able devel­op­ment.

We have under­tak­en a scope 3 car­bon foot­print assess­ment, which involves a thor­ough analy­sis of all our green­house gas emis­sions. To ensure objec­tiv­i­ty and rig­or in this eval­u­a­tion, we have turned to a spe­cialised exter­nal con­sul­tant. This study allows us to ful­ly under­stand our car­bon foot­print and iden­ti­fy areas where we need to take action.

Based on the results of our car­bon foot­print assess­ment, we have devel­oped an action plan to reduce our envi­ron­men­tal impact. We are par­tic­u­lar­ly focused on car­bon-sav­ing ini­tia­tives, active­ly seek­ing solu­tions to reduce our green­house gas emis­sions. We work close­ly with our sup­pli­ers, such as our car­ri­ers, ter­mi­nal providers, and NFC sup­port part­ners, to min­imise the impact of our joint activ­i­ties.

In addi­tion to our inter­nal efforts, we also aim to raise aware­ness among our cus­tomers about the impor­tance of sus­tain­able devel­op­ment. We active­ly pro­mote the use of prod­ucts made from recy­cled mate­ri­als and encour­age our cus­tomers to adopt more sus­tain­able prac­tices when organ­is­ing their events.

Last­ly, we have fos­tered a cul­ture of aware­ness with­in our orga­ni­za­tion. We encour­age our employ­ees to adopt envi­ron­men­tal­ly-friend­ly prac­tices in their pro­fes­sion­al lives. Aware­ness ini­tia­tives, such as train­ing on good eco­log­i­cal prac­tices and inter­nal com­mu­ni­ca­tion cam­paigns, are reg­u­lar­ly put in place to encour­age indi­vid­ual and col­lec­tive respon­si­bil­i­ty.
