With Integrity Line, Misereor provides a whistleblowing system through which reports and complaints can be submitted low-threshold, securely and, if desired, anonymously. The system serves as a central input channel for reports of possible violations of Misereor's Code of Conduct, internal regulations or applicable law.
The system is open to employees, volunteers, donors, service providers, partner organisations and all persons who wish to pass on observations or information. All incoming reports are treated confidentially, investigated carefully and processed responsibly according to clearly defined procedures.

Confidential reporting of information (Integrity Line)

Protecting all people from violence, exploitation and abuse of power is a top priority for us – both within our organisation and in the projects we support.
