“It is the policy of relief international (ri) to prohibit its employees and board members from engaging in any activity, practice, or act which conflicts with, or appears to conflict with, the interests of ri. Each employee and board member is required to disclose any interest or involvement when participating in a transaction of the organization in which another party to the transaction includes himself, a close relative (spouse, parent, child, sibling, niece, nephew or in-law) or an organization with which the member of the board, the employee, or a close relative, is affiliated. This policy is not intended to detail every situation that could give rise to a conflict of interest. A person with ordinary good judgment should know whether or not a particular activity involves an actual or potential conflict. Where there is doubt, the matter should be brought to the attention of the individual's immediate supervisor (for staff) or the board chairperson (for board members), who will take action as appropriate. In general, employees and board members should refrain from: offering, soliciting or accepting gifts, except those of a nominal value, in return for an advantageous position; engaging in conduct that interferes with the primary time and effort obligation to ri or divides his or her loyalty, or discredits ri's name; or, disclosing confidential or proprietary information about ri to third parties. Upon discovery of a potential conflict, either in procurement or hiring or any other area of organizational interest, the employee or board member should make prompt disclosure to the supervisor or board chairperson (as appropriate), but no later than 30 days after becoming aware of an anticipated or actual occurrence. Members of the board and employees who have a conflict of interest in any matter shall refrain from participating in the consideration of the proposed transaction.”
