World Chamber for Social Business

Governance

Compliance & Ethics

Last updated: July 2026

1. Institutional Commitment

The World Chamber for Social Business holds itself to the same standard it champions: rigorous ethics embedded in operations, not appended to them. This charter governs the conduct of the Secretariat, the Executive Council, and all programme delivery.

2. Anti-Corruption and Integrity

The Chamber maintains a zero-tolerance position on bribery, facilitation payments, and conflicts of interest. Officers, advisors, and programme partners must disclose any interest that could reasonably be perceived to influence an institutional decision.

3. Verifiable Impact

Every social and environmental claim published by the Chamber must be supported by documented methodology and evidence. Impact metrics are reported conservatively and reviewed before publication.

4. Data Ethics

Personal information entrusted to the Chamber is handled under our Privacy Policy: minimal collection, purpose-bound use, and no sale or unauthorized sharing. Administrative systems are access-controlled and audited.

5. Speaking Up

Anyone — member, partner, staff, or member of the public — may raise an ethics or compliance concern directly with the President's Office at connect@chamberforsocialbusiness.com. Reports are treated confidentially and without retaliation.
