Code of Conduct

Our Values and Standards, Our Code of Conduct

Our Code of Conduct (“Code”) guides how we conduct ourselves and our work in a manner consistent with our values-based and performance-driven culture. As we innovate in science and finance, partner with Indigenous Peoples and local communities, and engage with corporations and governments, we must ensure that our global actions and interactions are ethical and respectful. Our Code provides a shared roadmap to guide ethical behavior and support principled decision-making, drawing on our shared values and collective purpose to protect nature and a sustainable future for all.

Our Code applies to CI employees, interns, volunteers, and representatives (collectively, “Staff”) and our delivery partners, including grantees/awardees, contractors, suppliers, consultants, and their employees, sub-grantees/awardees, and representatives (jointly, “Delivery Partners”). Anyone who works on CI’s behalf must share our commitment to ethical behavior by following our Code when providing goods and services to CI.
