Sustainable development

“The impact of corruption is felt across societies as it hinders social and economic development around the world. Our zero-tolerance to corruption is a fundamental part of our promise to enhance society together and contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals,” Erik explained.

“We are proud to announce these certifications on the United Nation’s International Anti-Corruption Day as we stand united against corruption and would like to encourage everyone to take action,” Marleen Buis, Group Integrity Officer at Royal HaskoningDHV, added.

Mark Kokke, Group Compliance Officer at Royal HaskoningDHV said: “Integrity is embedded in Royal HaskoningDHV’s Global Code of Business Principles which, together with our Integrity Management System and Compliance Programme, defines and assures conduct. Since 2010 we have held an Anti-corruption Compliance System Certificate issued by ETHIC Intelligence.”
Earlier this year we decided to switch over to the international ISO standards and are very proud to be the first international engineering consultancy to be ISO/DIN 37301 certified.
