“The world justice project conflict of interest policy is followed by all board members and employees. All board members and employees are required to annually review the conflict of interest policy, which establishes procedures for addressing a financial interest, if one is reported. First, the board of directors (excluding an interested director who has reported the financial interest) determines if a conflict of interest actually exists. If a conflict of interest does exist, the chairman of the board appoints a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement in question. That person or committee determines whether, with reasonable efforts, the world justice project can obtain a more advantageous transaction or arrangement. If one is not reasonably attainable under circumstances that would not give rise to a conflict of interest, the board determines by a majority vote solely of disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the world justice project's best interest and for its own benefit, and whether the transaction or arrangement is fair and reasonable to the world justice project. In conformity with such determinations, the board makes its decision by majority vote solely of the disinterested directors whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement in question. Employees are required to disclose immediately and in writing any situation that may involve a conflict of interest to the executive director, human resources & chief financial officer. This includes financial interests, official capacities or third-party activities with organizations that have or may have business or other relationships with world justice project or its competitors. In the event of such disclosure, it is reviewed by world justice project's conflict of interest committee consisting of the executive director, board secretary and the chief financial officer, who will determine an appropriate course of action in the best interests of world justice project. In the event the responsible person with the conflict of interest is the executive director or the chief financial officer, such disclosure shall be made to the president and the chairperson of the board of directors.”

“Compensation for the executive director and other key employees is determined independently by the compensation committee of the board of directors, drawing on regional compensation data research provided by human resources to determine that salaries are appropriate and competitive for each position. Comparative data is reviewed for this purpose upon commencement of employment, and on an annual basis the compensation committee reviews and approves any compensation adjustments based on a documented performance review and compensation adjustment process.”

“Wjp makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.”
