SOMO has a detailed Integrity Policy aimed at preventing unethical behavior and other forms of wrongdoing and malpractice. The policy includes procedures for follow-up on alleged misconduct.
SOMO employees are expected to adhere to the SOMO Code of Conduct, which makes explicit the principles for the research we do ourselves, and the research done by others for SOMO. These principles include effectiveness, independence, reliability, protection of sources, quality, transparency, cooperation, right of reply, and accountability.
