We are seeking to attain the highest possible levels of ethical conduct, integrity, financial management and accountability. We promote and respect the equal rights and dignity of all human beings, we promote gender-equality, intersectionality, and ensure non-discrimination as well as prevention of sexual and gender based violence and abuse, in all our working relations and programmes.

Any person who witnesses a violation of our Code of conduct is invited to report this violation, and any person to whom the Code of Conduct applies, who witnesses a violation of it, is required to report the violation at the earliest possible moment.

Violations can be reported to the responsible manager or our Integrity Officer (see contact details below). Suspicions involving a member of the Board of Directors can be brought to the Integrity Advisor in the Board of Trustees. Also, when a person does not feel comfortable to report to the responsible manager or internal Integrity Officer, a report can be filed to the Integrity Advisor in the Board of Trustees.

If the reporting person does not want to use the aforementioned notification procedures, the final option is to contact the external whistle-blower point. Please read our Whistleblower policy before doing so. In case the reporter would like to get independent advice and support while protecting their identity, they can contact the external Person of Trust.
