Cordaid’s approach to integrity
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 that is free from intimidation, fraudulent behaviour, conflict of interest and (sexual) misconduct. We achieve this by raising awareness about integrity and promoting an atmosphere in which colleagues can hold each other accountable whenever they feel lines are being crossed.
Furthermore, it is vital that people who are affected by inappropriate behaviour are able to report this quickly and safely.
