ISSUE
We want to organize integrity sustainably
A code of conduct or training is valuable, but only effective when policy, governance, learning, reporting, monitoring, and follow-up function as a whole.
What is important now?
Ensure coherence
An integrity policy only works when values, rules, responsibilities, reporting channels, and oversight form one recognizable and consistent whole.
Connect rules with behavior
An organization with integrity does not just emerge on paper, but especially in the way managers and employees act and make decisions on a daily basis.
Keep learning and improving
Integrity risks and the organization are constantly changing, making periodic evaluation, monitoring, and adjustment necessary.
What can you do now?
Map the current organization
Investigate which integrity risks are at play, which measures already exist, and where policy, responsibilities, or daily practice do not align sufficiently.
Make roles and frameworks clear
Establish what behavior is expected, where employees can turn to, and who is responsible for prevention, reports, investigation, and oversight.
Embed integrity in practice
Support managers and employees through dialogue, training, exemplary behaviour, and periodic monitoring of how the integrity policy functions.
How EthXCom can help
Carefully analyzing the current situation
We provide a coherent overview of integrity risks, policies, responsibilities, and the effectiveness of existing measures.
Designing a suitable integrity program
We help develop or refine codes of conduct, reporting procedures, investigation protocols, governance, and other necessary frameworks.
Anchoring integrity within the organisation
We support managers and employees with dialogue, training, and practical tools to make integrity part of daily actions.
Continuously monitoring and improving operations
We help with monitoring, periodic evaluation, and reporting, so that the organization can learn in a targeted way and continue to develop the integrity program.
Appropriate services
Seven key building blocks together form one coherent integrity programme: standards and procedures, governance and oversight, communication and training, monitoring and follow-up, risk assessment, speak-up, and learning.
