Politique relative à la protection des lanceurs d'alerte et des témoins

The GCF's Whistleblower and Witness Protection Policy provides a framework for reporting misconduct, ensuring confidentiality, and protecting individuals from retaliation. It defines the roles of the Independent Integrity Unit (IIU) and the Ethics and Audit Committee (EAC) in managing reports and investigations, and outlines corrective measures for those who suffer retaliation.

• The policy defines 'misconduct' (acte répréhensible) as conduct that violates GCF policies or poses a significant risk to its interests, reputation, operations, or governance, specifically including professional misconduct, prohibited practices, and conflicts of interest.
• The Independent Integrity Unit (IIU) is the primary body for receiving and investigating reports of misconduct, though reports involving the Executive Director, the Head of the IIU, or Board members must be directed to the Chair of the Ethics and Audit Committee (EAC).
• The GCF prohibits retaliation against whistleblowers and witnesses, classifying such acts as a 'prohibited practice'. The fund commits to maintaining the confidentiality of the identity of whistleblowers, witnesses, and their close family members upon request.
• Corrective measures for covered persons who suffer proven retaliation may include the cancellation of the retaliatory action, reinstatement to a position, reallocation of a contract, and the payment of reasonable compensation for actual damages.
• External reporting to entities outside the GCF is permitted and protected if the internal mechanisms are insufficient, if there is a significant threat to public health or safety, or if there is a risk of evidence destruction.
• Counterparties are required to promptly inform the GCF of any suspected prohibited practices related to Fund activities, conduct their own investigations, and report the findings back to the Fund.
