Sustainable Energy for All Anti - Terrorism Policy

The Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) Anti-Terrorism Policy, published on 21 October 2020, establishes the organisation's commitment to preventing the diversion of its funds and donor resources to support terrorist activities. It outlines mandatory compliance for all staff, partners, and board members, detailing reporting procedures for suspected terrorism and the internal controls used to mitigate financial risks.

• SEforALL views the diversion of funding and contravention of counter-terrorism legislation as an internal control and risk management issue, grouping it with fraud, bribery, money-laundering, and corruption.
• The policy is mandatory for all individuals working for or on behalf of SEforALL, including paid and unpaid staff, consultants, interns, secondees, junior professional officers (JPOs), volunteers, Ambassadors, and Administrative Board members. It also applies to funded partners who lack their own Anti-Terrorism Policy.
• To prevent the provision of material support to terrorism, SEforALL implements several risk mitigation measures: checking UN and US Government databases for ineligible suppliers, conducting in-depth background checks on new staff via a licensed agency, performing third-party reference checks (including sam.gov and OFAC), maintaining comprehensive financial records, conducting annual external audits, and applying 'know your customer' principles for procurements.
• SEforALL utilizes the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) and the United Nations Foundation (UNF) as fiscal agents for recruitment and procurement, relying on their existing anti-terrorism financing controls.
• Suspected terrorist activity must be reported immediately in writing to the Compliance Officer (the Lead Human Resources). If the Compliance Officer is involved or biased, reports should go to the Chief of Staff, then the CEO, and finally a member of the Administrative Board. A confidential hotline email (hotline@seforall.org) is available for anonymous reporting.
• Upon receiving a report, SEforALL evaluates the concern and, if substantiated, reports it to the appropriate authority in the country where the incident occurred. For incidents in Austria, suspicions of terrorist financing must be reported to the money laundering unit of the Austrian Federal Ministry of the Interior.
• The policy mandates that the Human Resources department ensure the policy is reviewed every three years, or sooner if necessary.
