Governance code

Typically, organizations adopt the governance code relevant to their sector as the foundation for their internal governance principles. However, given Sanquin's unique position with both public and private functions, neither the Healthcare Governance Code nor the Corporate Governance Code is directly applicable in its entirety. Therefore, Sanquin has chosen to develop its own Sanquin Governance Code, drawing upon the Healthcare Governance Code and incorporating specific aspects of the Corporate Governance Code.
