Social Report

TNI strives to establish and uphold ethical standards within the institute, guided by the policies and procedures in place for this. These include integrity policies covering such matters as discrimination, (sexual) harassment, fraud and corruption, whistle-blowing and complaints. Staff elect an Internal Integrity Officer, while the Board appoints an external agency to serve as an External Integrity Officer. TNI convenes monthly staff meetings, and thus complies with Dutch regulations on employee participation.

No inappropriate behaviour, misconduct or any other breaches of TNI’s integrity policies were reported in 2022. No grievances nor disciplinary procedures were required, and no complaints were received on the basis of the Complaints Policy published on the TNI website.
