Integrity
Within Wageningen University & Research (WUR), everyone is expected to act with integrity. The Wageningen University & Research Integrity Code and the Netherlands Code of Conduct on Scientific Integrity are leading in this respect. In addition, WUR has drawn up an anti-corruption code for employees involved in international projects. This code provides rules for doing business in a fair and ethical manner with countries that have a low corruption index (CPI) or countries to which UN sanctions policies apply.
In addition to these codes, there are a number of specific regulations, agreements and complaints procedures to safeguard integrity. Everyone acts in accordance with these mandatory rules of conduct and holds each other accountable if not complied with.
