IO2, the Code of Conduct, sought to define the ways that we can establish collaboration, bearing in mind radically different philosophical, disciplinary, and sociocultural worldviews. In the end, the Code of Conduct can be seen as a tool that may be given to any party seeking to engage in transdisciplinary and cross-cultural collaboration. It serves as a guide to regulate interaction based on a series of key ethical values that can be agreed upon by the parties. In addition to the Code of Conduct, IO2 also produced an Inclusivity Code. This was to extend the consideration and care of working groups beyond the rubrics of discipline and culture and into notions of the multi-species other. Given the goal of the project is the development of ecological ethics, the consistent incorporation of the perspective of the multi-species other was essential.
