The SPECTRUM Management of Interests and External Interactions document aims to make clear the official position of the Consortium with respect to engagement with external partners particularly where they may constitute, or give rise to, a conflict of interest or present a reputational or other risk to the Consortium.
Additionally, it:
- clarifies what interests and interactions are covered by the policy,
- explains what is meant by conflict of interest,
- provides guidance to members on the processes for proactively identifying risks and conflicts in order to prevent them, and how to mitigate and manage them if and when they do arise
