CONNOR CONSULTING
Connor does not tolerate bribery, kickbacks, or corrupt acts of any kind or in any circumstances from Connor staff, or its clients, agents, consultants, licensees, vendors, or representatives of any kind.
Corruption is the misuse of power for private profit or gain. Bribery is broadly defined as offering to make or making a payment, or offering to provide or providing anything of value, to influence a decision or create an improper advantage. This prohibition includes making or offering to make payments through intermediaries or to third parties; and it does not require that payments actually be made.
Staff must abide by all applicable anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws. All Connor staff in all countries are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”). The FCPA prohibits improper payments to government officials and officials of public international organizations. Connor staff living or working in countries other than the US may also be subject to national anti-corruption laws. All staff are required to raise potential issues before they lead to problems and to seek additional guidance when necessary.
Connor considers compliance with anti-corruption laws, and with Connor’s internal policies relating to anti-corruption, to be a serious matter, and will thoroughly investigate any allegations of bribery. Connor employees, and others working on Connor’s behalf or for its benefit, who do not comply with such laws and policies may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of their employment or other relationship. In addition, individuals violating applicable anti-corruption laws may be subject to a range of penalties, which could include fines and imprisonment.
Connor Consulting Corp takes a zero-tolerance approach to fraud, bribery, and corruption and will uphold all applicable laws relevant to countering and investigating such activities across its global operations.
Connor is committed to:
Connor’s Anti-fraud policy applies to all staff members, Connor contractors, experts, consultants and grantees. It is an integral part of Connor’s internal control policy framework and should be read and applied in conjunction with Connor’s Code of Ethics. It forms part of a series of related policies and procedures developed to provide sound internal financial controls and to counter any fraudulent activity. These include: codes of conduct for staff and trustees; anti-corruption and bribery policy; sanctions policy; safeguarding policy; privacy policies; sound internal control systems; effective internal audit; effective recruitment and selection procedures; disciplinary procedure; public interest disclosure (whistleblowing) procedures; and training.
Connor has established an ‘Ethics Hotline’ to ensure that persons can report fraud. Anyone with information regarding fraud or other corrupt practices against Connor or involving Connor staff, non-staff personnel, vendors, implementing partners and responsible parties, is strongly encouraged to report this information through the Hotline and will not be retaliated against for submitting such claim in good faith. The Investigations Hotline is managed by an independent service provider on behalf of Connor to protect confidentiality, and can be directly accessed worldwide in different ways:
Alternatively, complaints can be sent directly to Connor by emailing privacy@connor-consulting.com. or by mail to:
Connor Consulting Corp.

Attn: Privacy Officer
All allegations of fraud and corruption are taken seriously. Upon receipt of an allegation, Connor will assess the case and to determine if there is sufficient ground to warrant an investigation. Investigations will follow the guidelines outlined below.
Depending on the nature, magnitude and the complexity of the fraud, investigations will be carried out by either Connor’s General Counsel or by an external firm with specific expertise to deal with the particular allegation.
Investigations will be conducted without regard to any person’s relationship to the organization, position or length of service. The investigating party will have full access to any files, information or witnesses to conduct the investigation and will keep records of all actions in the investigation, to ensure success in any future criminal, civil or disciplinary action.
The investigating party will issue a report detailing the finding and conclusion of the investigation, including recommendations for future action. The report will be disseminated to and reviewed by Connor’s Senior Leadership and Audit Committee in a timely manner. Unless earlier notice is required by the donor, Connor will inform other parties, including affected employees, external partners and donors of the conclusion of the report as needed.
In cases of substantiated fraud, Connor will pursue disciplinary or criminal sanctions where appropriate and possible and will attempt to recover losses by any lawful means.
Connor Consulting Corp’s (“Connor”) reputation derives from our commitment to our core values: collaboration, integrity, positivity, trust, diversity, accountability and accessibility for our customers and partners. Connor’s Code of Ethics (the “Code”) provides guidance to Connor employees, consultants, independent experts, interns, and volunteers in living Connor’s core values, and outlines minimum standards for ethical conduct which all staff must adhere to.
Connor relies on the personal integrity, good judgement and common sense of individuals acting on behalf of the organization to deal with issues not expressly addressed by the Code. Failure of a staff member to adhere to the Code may result in disciplinary action up to and, including discharge from employment and filing of criminal charges.
Connor employees, consultants, independent experts, interns and volunteers shall:
Any violations of the Code of Ethics should be reported to Connor Consulting Corp via its Ethics Hotline at www.ci.ethicspoint.com.
All staff member shall at all times exercise good faith in all matters relating to their duties and responsibilities to Connor, act in the best interest of Connor when discharging their duties and comply with Connor’s Code of Ethics.
No staff member shall use their position or confidential information obtained in the course of employment to their personal advantage or for any other purpose not specifically approved by Connor or be influenced in the discharge of their duties by any personal, financial, or other interest, involvement or relationship they may have.
Each employee is responsible for recognizing a potential conflict-of-interest and for disclosing it pursuant to the procedures described below.
A conflict of interest exists or may exist whenever an employee or his/her family member has any involvement, interest or relationship, directly or indirectly, in a proposed transaction with Connor from which the employee or his/her family member receives, or may be perceived as receiving, a financial or other personal benefit. Employees are required to report each such transaction with a family member, regardless of whether preceding transactions with the same family member have been reviewed and approved.
A “family member” is defined as a spouse or domestic partner, children and their spouses, parents, siblings and their spouses, grandparents, grandchildren and their spouses, aunt, uncle, first cousin, niece, nephew, corresponding in-law, and respective “step” relations.
Some examples of conflict requiring disclosures are included below. This list is not intended to be exhaustive.
All Connor employees are required to complete and sign annual conflicts of interest disclosure forms. These forms are provided to employees at the start of each fiscal year by the General Counsel’s Office (GCO).
In addition to these annual disclosures, if a proposed transaction arises in which an employee has, or believes s/he may have, a conflict of interest, the employee is required to make an immediate disclosure to the GCO and his/her immediate supervisor, using the conflicts of interest disclosure form available on the Intranet. This disclosure must be done prior to any consideration or execution of the proposed transaction by Connor.
The employee shall not participate in the deliberations on the matter but shall disclose any material facts related to the proposed transaction. Upon a determination by the GCO that a conflict of interest exists, the GCO, working with the supervisor or division head, may request that that appropriate actions be taken to resolve the matter. The GCO shall maintain a record of the existence and resolution of the conflict of interest. In some cases these conflicts may be reported in public filings. If the matter cannot be resolved in a satisfactory manner, but the employee, his/her supervisor and/or the respective division head are of the opinion that the transaction is nonetheless beneficial to the overall interests of Connor, the respective division head and the Connor shall bring the matter to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer who shall make the final determination whether to pursue the transaction; provided, however, that if the employee is also an officer or in a position to exert substantial influence over the affairs of the organization, then the matter is referred to the Compensation Sub-Committee of Connor’s Board of Directors in accordance with its procedures for addressing conflicts of interest.
Employment of Family Members may constitute a conflict of interest. Employees must disclose all such relationships to their supervisor and to the GCO using the conflicts of interest disclosure form available on the Intranet, or the annual disclosure form as appropriate. This disclosure must be done prior to employing any Family Members.
Employees who marry while employed or become part of the same household will be treated in accordance with the policy on personal relationships.
Employees may not engage in any outside consulting or employment that conflicts with the interests of Connor. Employees are required to fulfill the responsibilities of their position, and any external employment activity that results in neglect of the employee’s job responsibilities is inappropriate. Employees should obtain written approval from their supervisor and the division head to engage in any outside consulting activity or employment.

We keep your Recruitment Data in accordance with our internal retention policies and procedures. Typically, if you are unsuccessful in your application with us (or if you reject the position), we will keep your Recruitment Data for three (3) years following submission by you.
