Our Commitment

Environmental Defense Fund Inc. (EDF) is an organization with strong values of responsibility and integrity. Our Whistleblower Policy contains general guidelines for conducting business with the highest standards of ethics.

EDF is committed to an environment where open, honest communications are the expectation, not the exception. We want you to feel comfortable in approaching your supervisor or management in instances where you believe violations of the law, our policies or standards have occurred.

In situations where you prefer to place an anonymous report in confidence, you are encouraged to use this hotline, hosted by a third-party hotline provider, EthicsPoint. You are encouraged to submit reports relating to violations stated in our Whistleblower Policy, as well as asking for guidance related to policies and procedures.

The information you provide will be sent to us by EthicsPoint on a totally confidential and anonymous basis if you should choose. You have our guarantee that your comments will be heard.

See the EthicsPoint FAQs for more information.
