SYSCO180’s panel empanelment philosophy is founded on the principles of competence, integrity, independence, and inclusivity. As an institutional arbitration and ADR body, SYSCO180 recognises that the credibility and effectiveness of its dispute resolution mechanisms depend fundamentally on the quality and ethical standards of its arbitrators, mediators, conciliators, and negotiation facilitators.
Empanelment at SYSCO180 is guided by merit-based and transparent criteria, with a strong emphasis on professional qualifications, subject-matter expertise, and demonstrated experience in dispute resolution and relevant industry sectors. Candidates are assessed not only on legal and technical proficiency but also on their commitment to ethical conduct, neutrality, and fairness.
Independence and impartiality form the cornerstone of the empanelment process. All panel members are required to disclose any circumstances that may give rise to conflicts of interest and to adhere strictly to institutional codes of conduct. Continuous compliance with ethical standards is monitored to preserve trust and procedural integrity.
SYSCO180 also values diversity and inclusion, seeking to empanel professionals from varied backgrounds, disciplines, and perspectives. This ensures that disputes across family, commercial, institutional, and sector-specific domains are addressed with appropriate sensitivity, cultural awareness, and practical insight.
Ongoing capacity-building, training, and performance review are integral to the empanelment philosophy. Panel members are encouraged to engage in continuous professional development and to align with evolving legal frameworks and technological advancements, including ODR practices.
Through this principled empanelment philosophy, SYSCO180 ensures a trusted, competent, and future-ready panel—capable of delivering fair, efficient, and credible dispute resolution outcomes.
