The core principle of this policy is to proactively prevent situations where personal, financial, or other interests might conflict with the interests of Iguality, or where such conflicts might appear to influence the actions or decisions of board members, staff, or freelancers. The integrity of the organisation relies on the transparency and objectivity of all those involved in its governance and operations. As such, the following principles apply:
- Act in the Best Interest of Iguality: All individuals covered by this policy must act with the highest degree of integrity and in the best interest of the organisation. Personal, financial, or professional interests should never take precedence over the goals, mission, and values of Iguality. Every decision and action must be made with a focus on advancing the organisation’s charitable purposes and ensuring that all operations are aligned with its strategic objectives.
- Disclosure of Conflicts: Any individual covered by this policy must promptly disclose any situation that could give rise to a conflict of interest. Such situations may involve direct or indirect personal, familial, or financial interests that could influence their decisions or duties in a way that may not be in the best interest of the organisation. Disclosures must be made in writing and include details of the situation that could give rise to the conflict.
- Avoiding or Managing Conflicts: Individuals are responsible for taking proactive steps to manage or, where possible, avoid situations where a conflict of interest may arise. This includes withdrawing from decision-making processes where a conflict exists and refraining from any involvement in activities where impartiality cannot be maintained. In cases where a conflict is unavoidable, clear steps should be taken to manage the conflict and ensure transparency, such as recusal from relevant discussions and decisions.
By following these principles, board members, staff, and freelancers help to ensure the organisation operates with transparency, fairness, and trust. Adherence to these guidelines safeguards Iguality’s reputation and ensures that decisions are always made in the organisation's best interest.
