Code of Ethics Validation for Responsible Organisations 

The Code of Ethics Validation service is an indispensable resource for organisations committed to integrity, transparency and ethical compliance. Find out why it is crucial to have a robust Code of Ethics and how our service can ensure your compliance with sound principles backed by evidence and international best practice. 

Why a Code of Ethics is important in an organisation 

The Code of Ethics acts as the backbone that guides your members in their day-to-day decision-making and conduct. This document is essential because it puts on paper the core values of the organisation; provides a framework of transparency and trust both externally and internally; contributes to the reinforcement of the organisational culture based on responsibility, respect and integrity; helps prevent ethical risks by setting clear standards and providing guidance on how to deal with ethically complex situations; and ensures compliance with laws and regulations, which is essential to avoid legal sanctions and reputational damage. 

Why it is important to validate the Code of Ethics 

Creating a Code of Ethics is a crucial step, but validating it will bring numerous benefits: 

  • Validation ensures that the Code of Ethics is aligned with sound ethical principles, providing a framework that stands the test of time. 
  • Our service is based on guidance documents from recognised national and international bodies, ensuring that your code meets the highest global standards. 
  • Validation ensures that the code is dynamic and can adapt to changes in legislation, ethical approaches and business challenges. 

Issues required in the Code of Ethics 

Our service is supported by key documents such as the OECD Best Practice Guidance, the Global Reporting Initiative Standards, the Public Sector Contracts Act, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the ILO Declaration.  

* By choosing our validation service, you ensure that your Code of Ethics not only meets sound ethical standards, but also reflects your organisation’s commitment to internationally recognised ethical excellence.
