With MTic-design we aim to create a positive impact on society. That implies that we need to comply with international standards of responsible behavior with regard to the environment, the people we work with and other stakeholders, now and in the future. Therefor, all project partners are requested to comply with the Corporate Social Responsibility policy of the project: CSR Policy MTic-design.

Specifically for the project, requested by the Dutch government, participants should also take notice of the CSR Risk Analysis MTic-design based on reports from MVO Nederland about doing business with Colombia. Being a project of equal cooperation, a risk analysis for doing business with The Netherlands should exist too. Please share your findings related to this topic.
