Transparency and Accountability

These standards are part and parcel of all our contractual relationships, be it with organisations in the field, suppliers, or other parties.  

We like to ensure compliance through a culture of accountability. This means we are transparent about our mutual rights and obligations, as well as our criteria for selecting partners, projects, and suppliers. Our policies apply to everyone we work with.
