Avoiding conflicts of interest is important to the GNR. For transparency and appropriate management, all potential SG members must declare any potential conflict of interest (COI) ahead of acceptance into the SG. Any COI that may arise during the candidate's period as an SG member will be managed by the SG Co-Chairs and the Independent Expert Group Chair.
Conflicts are not only financial in nature but may also arise if an SG member takes a position or supports another organisation that is counter to GNR's mission and values.
