"FOUR PAWS strives to create a world in which humans treat animals with respect, empathy and understanding. We believe in the same values for people and have established high standards of conduct and integrity in the workplace. 

For this reason, we have policies and standards in place to ensure the correct use of the funds provided by our donors and the safety and wellbeing of all FOUR PAWS colleagues. We also have rules and regulations that set standards for collaboration with suppliers and partners.  

Going one step further, we encourage anyone to use our secure reporting system to voice concerns about actual or suspected misconduct that can affect our organisation or people. All reports are confidential."

Luciana D’Abramo, on behalf of the Board of FOUR PAWS International

If you have concerns about compliance with law or any FOUR PAWS policy, you should raise them. This applies equally to past and present situations, as well as proposed courses of action.

FOUR PAWS commits to take each report very seriously and to handle them with utmost care. We will ensure confidentiality and take all measures to protect you and your identity to the maximum extent legally possible. You will not suffer any disadvantage as a result of your report.

You can submit a report in English or in Afrikaans.
