Ethics And Integrity

We are striving to create an organization that helps encourage employees to behave in a more honorable manner.

"Our organization values ethical behavior in all our dealings with donors, partners, communities, volunteers, beneficiaries and vendors. Our Board of Directors supports these values, and our ethical policies reflect this commitment. We work hard to maintain these standards throughout our entire organization, and we want everyone we work with to know that we are dedicated to doing what is right."

VOSIEDA's Quality Assurance

VOSIEDA prioritizes compliance-based ethics management to maintain high ethical standards. Many organizations treat ethics training as a one-time event during onboarding, limiting its impact. Some may address ethics later through codes of conduct or whistleblowing hotlines, but these don’t foster moral development. To better support employees as ethical individuals, VOSIEDA focuses on compliance-based ethics management.

The Quality and Integrity Manager of VOSIEDA is responsible for overseeing the ethics and compliance program. Our organization strives to maintain a culture of compliance through regular training and communication regarding essential topics. We collaborate with our teams to establish, monitor, and implement policies and procedures to mitigate unethical, illegal, or undesirable practices.

We acknowledge that achieving development results while concurrently observing funding partners and host country regulations necessitates sustained diligence and effort. The high standards we strive to meet not only demonstrate effective compliance with beneficiaries’ needs but also establish essential trust-based relationships that are pivotal to sustainable development.

We appreciate your cooperation in adhering to these requirements. If you have any questions or concerns about compliance or ethics, please contact our Quality Assurance Manager directly at admin@vosieda.org. If you prefer to remain anonymous, please indicate so in your email. We will promptly address all inquiries. Kindly refer to our complaint procedures below if you have a complaint.
