Our standards
Global DreamWeb aims to be a transparent organization, providing high-quality service and training. Our procedures are designed to be reliable, transparent and accountable.
Besides that, we never accept inappropriate behavior in or by our organization. A work climate characterized by openness, commitment and trust is essential for Global DreamWeb employees and the entire organization. There is likewise no place for bullying, sexual harassment, aggression or discrimination. That is why all Global DreamWeb’s employees, implementing organizations and service providers are obliged to comply with the legal requirements and abide by the common social norms and values as set out in our Code of Conduct, signed by everyone who works for Hivos, even through partnerships.
Global DreamWeb also seeks to maintain the highest standards of financial management and accountability. We therefore have zero tolerance for any form of corruption, theft, fraud or dishonesty. Global DreamWeb’s Safeguarding and Integrity Policies covers all these issues.
