Ethics and Financial Integrity
Financial integrity and Ethics are at the heart of our operation when it comes to all our stakeholders including our clients, beneficiaries, donors, funders, regulators, government bodies, partners and suppliers.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
All our Partner organisations have a comprehensive Corporate Governance and Financial Management Policy which ensures that both operationally and strategically our financial resource is deployed and managed in full accordance with Company & Charity legislation, that internal management systems are fit for purpose in enabling efficient and effective management and investment of our finances and that transparency and accountability are maintained throughout every aspect of our financial management. Each corporate entity (see below) is managed by a group of Trustees/Directors who meet frequently throughout the year in order to monitor and review strategy, management and financial performance.
ETHICAL OPERATIONS
We operate from an ethical stance in our dealings with all suppliers and client groups. We strive to maintain a local focus by focusing our purchasing through local organisations or those employing local people and through purchasing local produce wherever possible. We make every attempt to purchase goods and services which themselves have been produced or developed in an ethical way, giving preference to those goods and services which can demonstrate a clear ethical stance.
EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES
We operate a clear policy which seeks to avoid discriminatory practice either in favour of or against one or more people groups when it comes to accessibility, service use, recruitment and supplier choice. We have a full equal opportunities policy outling this in more detail.
