Conflict-of-interest & Impartiality Policy
Transparency and integrity are major values of the ORMEX Standard.
ORMEX acknowledges the importance of avoiding conflicts-of-interest (COI) and maintaining impartiality among all of ORMEX’s stakeholders as fundamental principles of its operations and ethical behaviour.
ORMEX contributes to the credibility and the reliability of the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM).
All employees, associates, members of the executive/strategic board, managing directors of ORMEX, members of any advisory councils established according to the ORMEX governance model, clients, subcontractors, partners, third-party auditors, and project holders (collectively referred to as “Stakeholders”), are expected to act in a way that prevents and avoids any COI that could be detrimental to ORMEX and/or other Stakeholders, both in terms of their actions and responsibilities.
We rely on stakeholders’ confidence in ORMEX’s activities and expect them to adhere to a high standard in this regard.
