Our code of ethics and business conduct 

Toggle Button

Seed has a firm commitment to meeting the needs and goals of its employees and its partners. Our success has been made possible and is maintained by operating in a common effort of our employees to provide the best possible experience to everyone with whom we work, from partners to colleagues to third parties with whom we do business.  The guiding principles and internal values described below guide us in our efforts to achieve our mission.

Our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct is one of the ways we put Seed’s values into practice. It’s built around the recognition that everything we do in connection with our work at Seed will be, and should be, measured against the highest possible standards of ethical business conduct. Our commitment to Seed’s mission helps us hire great people and stay true to our mission. Our commitment to our partners and respect for the work we do and for each other is foundational to our success and is something we need to remember every day. The Code of Ethics and Business Conduct specifies the responsibilities of everyone working at Seed to adhere to this code of ethics and business conduct to ensure Seed’s culture.

Guiding principles

  1. Local partnership: We believe that our goals and priorities are driven by our vision, but, critically, which is founded on the needs of the countries, institutions, and communities we serve. We contribute mutually and intentionally towards the shared objective of strengthened health professional education and clinical care by working side-by-side with our partners and country leadership. We focus on the local context and culture in order to build capacity and leadership, and to strengthen networks.
  2. Enabling environment: We work in countries with a demonstrated commitment to enabling progress in health professional education or where we believe we can make a meaningful contribution towards the creation of this enabling environment.
  3. Integrity: In all programs and partnerships, we strive for the highest quality and greatest integrity. We do this with unflinching honesty, transparency, and accountability.
  4. People: We believe in the power of people to affect and sustain changes in health education, delivery of care, and health systems.
  5. Long-term commitment: We believe that long-term, durable partnerships rather than temporary “gap-filling” measures, deliver more lasting and meaningful improvements in a country’s health ecosystem.

Learning and quality: We value quality and accountability in our work and believe that continuous learning and improvement both within our organization and through our partnerships strengthens the credibility of our work. We encourage staff to continually seek and cultivate learning opportunities for improvements in their role, their teams, and for our partnerships and programs.

Strategic innovation: We believe in taking risks and testing new approaches to deliver high-quality, cost-effective programs that reflect the ever-changing needs and context of front-line health care delivery. We value diversity as key to innovation and commit to cultivating creativity and innovation aligned with our mission.

Stewardship of resources: We work in resource-constrained environments where every dollar counts. We are each personally responsible for being ethical stewards of the funds entrusted to Seed to achieve our mission.

Balanced employee experience: We strive to provide a supportive environment for staff to fulfill their job responsibilities and achieve their individual professional goals. We expect staff to work hard, and we believe in celebrating everyone’s hard work and recognizing their achievements. We value the importance of maintaining a balance between staff members’ personal and professional lives.

Multidisciplinary practice: Health care is an interdisciplinary field and at Seed, we value the input of each professional discipline in the work we do.

This includes giving and receiving direct and thoughtful feedback, as well as communicating across different levels of the organization to ensure we are appropriately collaborating with colleagues to strengthen the quality of our work.
