Documents/USIECR/Values


  • Value [1] Impartiality
    • Since 1998 the U.S. Institute has been an impartial entity inside the federal government, independent of other agencies, that provides conflict resolution services to help public and private interests manage and resolve environmental conflicts nationwide.

  • Value [2] Independence
    • The U.S. Institute carefully guards its independence and impartiality. The Board of Trustees for the Foundation has adopted a strong conflict of interest policy, which emphasizes that the U.S. Institute's dispute resolution work is entirely independent of and without influence from the Board.
