CIC biomaGUNE has developed and implemented a Compliance Program to promote an institutional and corporate culture of compliance, in order to achieve a responsible management in the development of the research activity, as well as a culture of integrity, honesty, transparency and respect for ethical norms and standards.

For this reason, CIC biomaGUNE intends to show its absolute rejection of any irregular behaviour which could constitute a potential crime, whose prevention is the first aim of the Compliance Program.

Committed to good governance, under the principles of ethics and transparency, as well as to the proper management of community funds, we make available to any interested third party the Code of Ethics and Conduct and the Ethical Channel of CIC biomaGUNE.

CIC biomaGUNE CODE OF ETHICS AND CONDUCT

CIC biomaGUNE Code of Ethics aims to establish the expected best practices of integrity, responsible and transparent behaviour of all CIC biomaGUNE employees, while performing their everyday activities and in their professional relationships.

The Code aims to translate CIC biomaGUNE’s corporate values and principles into desired behaviour, taking as a starting point the organisation’s culture and the Association’s commitment to ethics and transparency.
