Ethical Compliance Office

At Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University (ASOIU), ethical conduct is an essential part of academic, administrative, and research activities. The Ethical Compliance Office operates under the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Office, supporting a culture based on integrity, fairness, respect, and accountability.

As a specialized unit within the EDI framework, the office ensures that ethical standards are upheld across the university and that all concerns are addressed through clear, coordinated, and responsible processes.

Core Responsibilities

  • Promote ethical values and responsible behaviour in coordination with the EDI Office
  • Support the implementation of the university’s Holistic Ethical Policy and Code of Conduct
  • Review reported concerns in an objective and confidential manner
  • Provide guidance and raise awareness about ethical decision-making across all departments

Reporting and Complaint Mechanisms

ASOIU provides secure and accessible ways to report ethical concerns through the EDI Office’s reporting channels. All submissions are handled confidentially, assessed fairly by the compliance team, and protected against retaliation in line with university policy.

Holistic Ethical Policy

The Ethical Compliance Office operates based on the official Holistic Ethical Policy of ASOIU, which designates the EDI Office as the primary institutional owner for ethical governance.
