Code for Transparent Co-operation
By joining the "Code for Transparent Cooperation" the UNIQA Group commits itself to transparent dealings with NGOs, associations and sponsorships.
With the recognition of the Code for Transparent Co-operation we want to:
- give the public a clear insight into which NGOs we work with.
- disclose in what way and for what purpose we are involved.
- face the discourse on how our stakeholders judge these activities.
The Code defines basic principles such as voluntary commitments, fundamental principles, as well as concrete, binding standards and areas of application for four different forms of cooperation between companies and NPOs:
- unpaid cooperation,
- donations,
- paid cooperation such as sponsoring,
- and memberships of companies and their representatives in NPOs.
In addition, the code formulates clear proposals for implementation, such as NPO due diligence, mechanisms for monitoring, and recommendations for communication. These help to prevent risks that can arise through lack of transparency.
The Code - in whose conception the UNIQA Group was involved - is formulated from the outset in such a way that it can be quickly and easily adapted with self-obligations and transparency rules for NPOs. It is essential that the Code is included in the contracts that the UNIQA Group enters into with NPOs.
