Ethics & Code of Conduct
“Integrity First—Every Level, Every Voice, Every Time.”
Executive Summary
Advocacy without ethics is manipulation. Because Globalgood’s campaign to replace Debt‑Based Fiat Currency with the Credit‑to‑Credit (C2C) Monetary System challenges powerful interests, our credibility must be unimpeachable. This Ethics & Code of Conduct sets binding standards for every Globalgood advocate—staff or volunteer—operating at global, regional, or national level. It is the shield that protects our mission and the compass that keeps every action aligned with human dignity and empirical truth.
Core Ethical Principles
- Integrity – We present verified facts, declare conflicts of interest, and refuse hidden funding.
- Transparency – Budgets, donor lists, meeting minutes, and reserve audits are public by default.
- Accuracy – Claims about inflation, reserve volumes, or debt balances must trace to auditable data.
- Inclusivity – Advocacy spaces welcome every gender, faith, race, and socioeconomic group; we translate materials and make events accessible.
- Non‑Violence – Persuasion, not coercion. We employ dialogue, scholarship, lawful protest—never threats or force.
- Subsidiarity – Decisions are taken at the lowest competent level; local voices shape local roll‑outs.
- Privacy & Data Care – Personal data is collected only for clear purposes, encrypted in transit and at rest, and deleted when no longer needed.
- Accountability – Mistakes are acknowledged promptly and corrected in public; repeated violations trigger suspension or removal.
Practical Conduct Guidelines
2.1 Communications
- Verify statistics before tweeting or printing.
- Attribute every chart or quote; link back to primary sources.
- Use civil language—even when rebutting misinformation.
2.2 Financial Handling
- Two‑signature rule for all expenditures above local threshold.
- Publish quarterly financial statements and annual independent audit.
- Gifts or hospitality above USD 100 (or local equivalent) must be logged and approved.
2.3 Conflict of Interest
- Board members and lead advocates file yearly disclosure of assets, consultancies, and close‑family business interests.
- Anyone holding cryptocurrency or commodity positions relevant to C2C advocacy must recuse from related policy decisions.
2.4 Event Etiquette
- Respect local customs on dress and greeting; err toward inclusivity (e.g., halal/vegetarian catering).
- Zero tolerance for harassment—defined broadly (verbal, physical, digital). Violations trigger immediate removal and review.
2.5 Data Stewardship
- Use secure, organization‑approved channels for reserve‑audit files or personal contact lists.
- Never email raw spreadsheets that contain unmasked personal data; share via encrypted cloud links with time‑limited access.
Level Specific Responsibilities
Global Advocates
- Log every meeting with diplomats or multilateral officials in the Global Advocacy Register.
- Publish all travel and accommodation costs within 30 days of a mission.
- Submit speeches for fact‑checking 48 hours before delivery.
Regional Advocates
- Translate codes of conduct into bloc languages; hold an ethics refresher at every Treaty Readiness Retreat.
- Flag any attempt by a regional official to trade policy support for personal favors; escalate to Ethics Desk within 24 hours.
National Advocates
- When facilitating town‑halls, ensure minority groups receive speaking slots.
- Record and store public‑forum questions; publish anonymized Q&A summaries so rumors are addressed transparently.
- Provide hotline numbers for whistle‑blowing during Switch‑Over Day operations.
“One Standard, Scaled.”
Enforcement & Reporting
- Ethics Desk – independent committee reporting directly to the Board; reachable at ethics@globalgoodcorp.org.
- Tiered Response – verbal warning → written warning → suspension → termination.
- Appeals – any sanctioned individual may request a peer‑review hearing within 14 days.
- Whistle‑blower Shield – retaliation against reporters results in automatic suspension pending investigation.
Annual Ethics Audit & Public Report
Every March Globalgood publishes a plaintext and interactive dashboard detailing:
- Number of ethics trainings delivered.
- Confirmed breaches by category (finance, harassment, data, media).
- Corrective actions taken and status.
- Lessons learned incorporated into updated guidelines.
