Fair Operating Practices

Fair operating practices concern ethical conduct in an organization’s dealings with other organizations. This includes relationships between organizations and government agencies, as well as between organizations and their partners, suppliers, contractors, competitors and the associations of which they are members.  Fair operating practice issues arise in the areas of anti-corruption, responsible involvement in the public sphere, fair competition, promoting social responsibility in relations with other organizations; and respect for property rights.  In the area of social responsibility, fair operating practices are about how organizations use their relationship with other organizations to promote positive outcomes.
