Sustainable Energy for All Anti - Terrorism Policy

The SEforALL Anti-Terrorism Policy outlines a zero-tolerance framework to prevent the financing of terrorism, integrating risk management with financial controls and reporting mechanisms. It mandates rigorous vetting of staff and partners through international databases, establishes a confidential reporting hotline, and defines the responsibilities of leadership and staff in maintaining compliance with international and national counter-terrorism legislation.

• 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 organization employs a 'deter, detect, prevent, and respond' approach to minimize terrorism financing risks, which includes third-party reference checks using databases such as sam.gov and the OFAC sanctions search, annual external audits, and the application of 'know your customer' principles for procurements.
• To ensure procurement and recruitment controls, SEforALL contracts with the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) and the United Nations Foundation (UNF) as fiscal agents.
• The policy mandates a specific reporting procedure where suspicions must be reported in writing to the Compliance Officer (the Lead Human Resources). If the Compliance Officer is involved or biased, reports should be directed to the Chief of Staff, the CEO, or a member of the Administrative Board.
• SEforALL provides a confidential and anonymous reporting channel via a dedicated email address ([email protected]) accessible only by the Compliance Officer.
• The organization commits to reporting substantiated suspicions of terrorist financing to the appropriate national authorities; for example, in Austria, such reports must be sent to the money laundering unit of the Austrian Federal Ministry of the Interior.
• The policy is mandatory for all paid and unpaid personnel, including staff, consultants, interns, secondees, junior professional officers (JPOs), volunteers, Ambassadors, and Administrative Board members, as well as funded partners who lack their own anti-terrorism policy.
