Living Our Values – The World Bank Group Code of Conduct
Sooner or later in our professional lives, we will face an ethical dilemma - a situation where the appropriate response is not clear, because the answer does not exist in a Rule or policy. When faced with such a situation, what would you do? The World Bank Group's Code of Conduct has been updated to provide practical advice on handling a broad range of situations that can arise.
The Code has three parts to meet different needs:
- Code of Conduct (10.6MB) - Articulates the application of the Core Values in our Relationships with stakeholders
- Code at a Glance (3.24 MB) - One-page summary of the key messages in the Code, which staff can share with stakeholders
- Code of Conduct Questions and Answers (4.7 MB) - the "living" part of the Code based on questions raised by staff, which will be regularly updated.
Key New Features of the Updated Code
- A Stakeholder Framework, focusing on our relationships with
- Colleagues and Clients
- The World Bank Group, (focusing on our responsibilities to the institution)
- Civil society: Being Good Global Citizens
- Enhanced Resources section
- Descriptions of broad range of Internal Justice System and other staff resources
- Icons specifying the resources that assist with various issues and questions
- References to Staff Rules and policies where detailed information on topics can be found
- Description of the process and protections afforded when staff raise concerns
- Provides Tools and Decision-making Criteria
- Not just “the answers” – criteria to think through to make the right choice – e.g. see box on Code page 15 on criteria to evaluate conflicts of interest
