Governance principles
The rules we govern by
They apply to the designated partners first, and to everyone who acts for Hazaar.
Accountability by name
Every decision has a named owner, and the designated partners answer for all of them.
Decisions in writing
Significant decisions are recorded, so that each can be traced to the people who took it and why.
Conflicts declared
Anyone with a personal, family or financial interest in a decision declares it in writing and steps back from it until it is resolved.
Honest records
Every record is complete, accurate and made on time. We are open and honest with auditors, regulators and the authorities.
The law as the minimum
We comply with every law that applies to us, and hold ourselves to the higher standards we publish.
Open to challenge
Anyone can report a concern in confidence. We do not tolerate retaliation against anyone who speaks up in good faith.
