The ECOO Human Rights Statement is drawn from the text of ECOO: A Culture of Safety, Respect, and Trust.

Human Rights Statement

ECOO expects its members to communicate professionally and constructively, whether in person or virtually, handling dissent or disagreement with courtesy, dignity and an open mind, being respectful when providing feedback, and being open to alternate points of view. 

As such, it is also important that the Board of Directors and all committees of the Board adhere to these expectations in all of their virtual and face-to-face interactions.

By doing this we model: 

• promoting mutual respect, understanding and co-operation as the basis of interaction among all members.
• neither tolerating nor condoning behaviour that undermines the dignity or self-esteem of individuals or the integrity of relationships

As a member of ECOO, actively engaging in the work of the organization all members commit to the above when taking part in any ECOO related business.

This addition to protocol complements the ECOO Equity Statement and ECOO’s Expected Behaviour and Event Code of Conduct.
