We will not accept any direct or indirect donation, which might be intended to influence igr’s irreproachable objectivity and professionalism. We will not demand gifts and hospitality in connection with our activities, and will only accept them if they are appropriate in their reason, nature and scale, and could not be misunderstood either by the parties involved, or by a third party. The same is true for courtesies and gestures that we present to our clients as confirmation of our productive cooperation. We will maintain discretion about processes that, inspite of our declared belief in transparency, must remain confidential; where the alternative would be to contravene data protection regulations.

Noone at igr will be allowed to suffer disadvantages at work, or reputational damage because she/he reported suspicions of a Code violation.
