Governance code

Companies and institutions often use the governance code applicable to their sector as the basis for the governance principles within the organization. Because Sanquin is a unique organization with both public and private activities, the existing governance codes (Healthcare Governance Code and Corporate Governance Code) cannot easily be applied to our organization. That is why Sanquin has opted to draw up her own Sanquin Governance Code, which is based on the Healthcare Governance Code and to which some aspects of the Corporate Governance Code have been added.
