Our vision
To develop coordination and cooperation among all sectors and stakeholders working within landscape architecture; to build a professional solidarity network that ensures integration; to raise quality within an ethical framework and in line with national and international standards; to accredit sectoral activities; to organise and certify professional, scientific and educational events; to produce projects at national and international scale; and to create multifaceted added value for the sector.
Our principles
1. Landscape is an essential service
Landscape is an inseparable part of a healthy, high-quality and liveable built environment. We consider it our duty to explain this to the public and to decision makers.
2. Quality must be measurable
We support quality standards and performance measurement in projects, works and products, and treat the PEYSED Technical Specification as our common reference.
3. Skills and labour are protected
We advocate that every process in the sector be carried out by competent, trained people, that the harm caused by unskilled labour be minimised, and that professional work be protected.
4. Ethical competition
We oppose unfair competition, informal employment and the use of the association’s name for commercial gain. Those serving on the association’s bodies do not use the PEYSED name as a reference.
5. Nature, climate and local production
We prioritise climate adaptation, practices that reduce the carbon footprint, the protection of biodiversity and high-quality local plant production.
6. Knowledge grows when shared
We spread scientific and technical knowledge through guidelines, training and publications, and connect academia with practice.
7. Young people are the sector’s future
We offer students and young professionals internships, mentoring, entrepreneurship support and job opportunities.
8. Digital transformation
We encourage the integration of artificial intelligence, smart landscape applications and environmental technologies into practice.
Declaration of commitment
As a member, I undertake to abide by the principles of this document, the Statute, the PEYSED Code of Ethics and the Technical Specification, and to place the reputation of the landscape sector before my own commercial interests.
