Institutional Document | July 2023
SHARE THIS PAGE

This annual report shows how ADB’s Office of Professional Ethics and Conduct (OPEC) worked throughout 2022 to enable a more respectful and inclusive workplace as employees began to return to the office post-pandemic.

It outlines how OPEC is expanding its mediation, training, and counselling to help people identify potential conflicts of interest, tackle ethical concerns, and prevent workplace harassment and discrimination. It sets out the types of inquiries OPEC handles, shows how it is bolstering its peer support network, and explains why creating a “speak up” culture helps everyone recognize unprofessional behavior and seek advice to resolve issues.
