OUR CODE OF ETHICS
As a responsible corporation, we recognize the need for prudent, efficient, and productive urban land use. We apply our professional expertise as development specialists to enhance the land we work with—and to ensure the quality of life for those who inhabit our properties. MDC adheres closely to the following tenets of good governance and responsible professional practice:

Respect for the Consumer
We recognize that a good reputation is priceless. We also know that our reputation is determined by the quality of our product—which is judged, in the end, by the consumer. As such, balanced and responsible professional practices are of utmost importance to us. Our goal is to provide varied housing options, at prices that represent exceptional value for our customers.

Respect for the Public and the Community
We endeavor to obtain—and preserve—the public’s utmost trust in MDC and its development projects. We believe it is our obligation to protect and enhance the public welfare, and we strive to provide exceptional community facilities and amenities.

Respect for the Land and Environment
Each parcel of land is precious, distinct, and irreplaceable. As such, all the land we work with is treated with respect. Our developments will affect communities for generations; we encourage economic stability, and create lasting, sustainable, thriving habitats for real people.

Respect for the Future
We foster dialogue with governments, the public, and industry in order to craft realistic solutions to our communities’ long-term needs. We recognize that an important part of this dialogue will be planning for balanced growth that will leave a proud legacy for the future. We are committed to establishing a comprehensive and reasonable framework that holds the needs of future generations closely in mind.

Respect for Others in the Development Profession
We strive to treat others in the development industry fairly and honestly.

Respect for Professionalism
We continually strive to maintain and improve our professional skills and competence.

Respect for Personal Integrity
We exercise the highest ethical principles, and observe strict standards of integrity, proficiency, and honesty in our dealings. We exercise due diligence in ensuring that our performance is at all times creatively, competently, and responsibly managed.
