What We Value: Our Values are Who We Are

It’s commonplace for companies today to talk about their values. But what do “corporate values” really mean? Just as each company has its own unique culture, each defines its values in different ways. At CTP, what makes us tick—going full-speed, with the drive to win—hasn’t changed in our 25-year history.

Our strategy of long-term ownership—and the commitment to sustainable growth and communities and the accountability that go hand-in-hand with that strategy—has always set us apart.

The times may have changed, but not us. Our values are who we are. They are not just ideals or aspirations: they are the nuts and bolts of how we do business, both as a company and as individuals. They are like a road map, showing how we’ve gotten to where we are and charting our course for the future. They also bring us together and attract like-minded professionals who share our company credos. At CTP, we don’t just stand by our values—they guide us and move us forward. Our values are what wevalue the most.

 

 

Entrepreneurial

We bring our hands-on, can-do entrepreneurial spirt to everything we do. We play fair, and we play to win. We’ve built our success from the ground up and never rest on our laurels: the same entrepreneurial drive that made CTP what it is today carries us forward. We’re leaders, not followers. With our experience and know-how, we see opportunities ahead of the curve and take calculated risks with the security of our strong financial position. Our mission is to create long-term sustainable growth and value in a changing world.

 

BOGI Our entrepreneurial spirit speaks for itself. For example, over the past two years we have grown our operations in Poland by over 600% in an intensely competitive environment. Despite the challenges, our young and dynamic team is powered by an unwavering eagerness to succeed. Each member brings a unique set of skills and perspectives, fostering a culture of innovation and adaptability. The journey has been filled with both triumphs and obstacles, but our entrepreneurial spirit is the driving force behind our perseverance. We view every setback as an opportunity for growth, continuously learning and evolving to stay ahead in the market. Our hunger for success is matched by our commitment to ethical practices and fair play. We believe that integrity and transparency build a solid foundation for long-term success. As we forge ahead, we remain dedicated to playing to win, pushing our boundaries, and creating impact in the industry, not only for today but also for tomorrow’s market.

Accountability

Accountability at CTP means being transparent and responsive to our tenants and stakeholders. Promises made. Promises kept. On-time and on-budget. We mean what we say and say what we mean. Trust is the essential ingredient required to build long-lasting relationships. We are strategic partners to our clients based on the confidence we engender through our actions—both large and small—each day. Accountability requires clear communication, honesty, integrity, and the courage to stand for the values that built this company and make each Parkmaker an integral part of the CTP team.

 

JAKUB Accountability for me is part of my job description. I see my role as being engaged in a true partnership with our clients, on good days as well as bad. There is always a solution to be found. This includes making sure that there is space for growth over the long term. Delivering on promises is of course essential. I also take the big-picture view to ensure that development plans take into consideration the community and wider area, as well as the client’s objectives. We work closely with local municipalities to ensure not only compliance with all requirements, but that our parks add value to the community—not only job creation, but through investment in public infrastructure and transportation links and by paying attention to well-being and quality of life at work. As head of Business Development in the Czech Republic, I am also responsible for our team and its performance and service to our clients.

Sustainability

Sustainability isn’t a buzzword at CTP—it’s always been integral to our strategy and philosophy. We build to own and naturally take a long-term view. We know that our industry can be damaging to the environment, and so we’ve always built resource-efficient buildings and parks and make significant investments to mitigate the harmful impacts of our developments. And just like our parks, our business model is sustainable and has proven its ability to not just weather storms but to emerge from them bigger, better, and stronger.

 

ADAM For me Sustainability is long term approach living and developing. Enjoying now, thinking about future—it can be easily compared to eating healthy, nutritious, tasty meals—you enjoy it now, it lets go full speed not just now but also tomorrow and for many years if it is a habit. It is also related to act in the way that executing own agenda takes into account people around, making sure it does not harm them and inspire them.

Commitment

Commitment is the cornerstone: without it, everything falls apart. We are passionately committed to everything we do, and we’re always challenging ourselves to do better. We are committed to our tenants, our shareholders, and to the communities where we work and live. We are committed to our values, to our mission and goals, and to each other as team members. To be a CTP Parkmaker is more than a job—it’s a commitment to success, both personal and professional.

 

BERT Working for CTP is a way of life. It’s like sport: you are in it to win. And you do it because you love the sport and you love doing it. From the first second until the end of the game. And then you get ready for the next game, and the next. One of the keys to success at CTP is work-life integration. You thrive when you are committed and when you love what you do. I am a Parkmaker for life!

Community

We’ve long been walking the walk when it comes to community—our bread and butter is building dynamic business communities that help develop the local economies where we operate and which are often a focal point of the surrounding area. As part of our commitment to community we build public infrastructure, support local educational initiatives and youth, and provide charitable assistance to those in need. Our long-term strategy means that we strive always to be good neighbours and build lasting relationships based on trust and mutual understanding.

 

ANA Building communities means breaking down barriers and bringing people together. That’s what we do at our parks every day and in different ways. From monthly breakfasts in the garden at the Clubhaus at CTPark Bucharest West to blood donation drives, foreign language lessons, first-aid training, farmers’ fairs, summer schools, scholarships, medical care, ice cream, a hot meal, coffee on the house, an outdoor terrace, a place for picnics, sports facilities, the highest quality fit-outs, mobility, infrastructure, bio-diversity, solar energy—we do it all as part of our daily drive to make our parks vibrant business communities. In Romania, our Gen Z-dominated community team brings their youthful energy and enthusiasm to each project, large or small, to make sure that our parks are making our communities better places to be.
