Our Policies

Confidentiality of client information is of paramount importance at Birley HIA.

We subscribe to the IAIA code of ethics.

We subscribe to the international standards for ethical medical research.

We minimise our ecological and carbon footprint through our use of resources and modes of transportation.

	We use trains and buses rather than planes and private cars whenever possible.
	We offset unavoidable plane travel using the most reputable method we can find. This is usually by retiring carbon credits.
	We charge the cost of offset to our customers whenever we can as a necessary business expense.

We regard climate change, peak oil, inequality and poverty as major determinants of health.

We seek to involve the stakeholder community in open and transparent assessments.

No delegation risks; projects are only handled by principals.
