Whistleblowing channel- reporting serious misconduct
Rainforest Foundation Norway is committed to full transparency and accountability, and we want to improve the quality of our work. If you have any suspicions of misconduct, such as financial irregularities, sexual exploitation and abuse, harassments, or other misconduct, this should be reported.
You have an important role in raising your concern if suspecting a serious misconduct that should be prevented or corrected. You do not need proof of your suspicions, but all messages must be made in good faith. We encourage comments and complaints about our work to be raised and discussed with the responsible staff and managers as close to the activity as possible.
Your Role in Reporting Misconduct
Your vigilance is essential in helping us address and prevent serious misconduct. You don’t need to provide proof of your suspicions, but all reports must be made in good faith.
RFN is dedicated to protecting those who raise concerns. All reports will be treated with the highest level of confidentiality, and your anonymity will be respected if requested.
How to Report Misconduct
