Cordaid’s Approach to Integrity
Integrity Policy and Procedure Framework
Cordaid’s approach to integrity is described in our Integrity Framework. This document guides you to the relevant policies and procedures.
The purpose of our Integrity Framework is to create a work environment free from intimidation, fraudulent behaviour, conflict of interest, and (sexual) misconduct. We achieve this by raising awareness of integrity and fostering an atmosphere in which colleagues can hold one another accountable when they feel lines are being crossed.
Furthermore, it is vital that people who are affected by inappropriate behaviour can report it quickly and safely.
