Whistleblower Policy
As part of its commitment to improving transparency, Ornge has developed a Whistleblower Policy for staff that will protect the identity of anyone disclosing wrongdoing within the organization, and shield him or her from reprisal. This policy has established an Independent Ethics Officer to receive disclosures of wrongdoing and to determine appropriate handling and investigation steps.
Conflict of Interest Policy
Ornge employees and Board members are expected to conduct themselves with personal integrity, ethics, honesty and diligence in performing their duties for the organization. Employees and board members are required to support and advance the interests of the organization and avoid placing themselves in situations where their personal interests actually or potentially conflict with the interests of Ornge.
