ECPAT International Risk Management Appetite Statement Introduction - Risk Management Framework

In this Statement, consideration is given to the fact that actions from EI as the Secretariat may cause a risk to the target group (children and professionals), individual network members, the Network as a whole, or the liability of the Supervisory Board, and that actions from network members or the Supervisory Board may cause a risk to the Secretariat and to the Network as a whole. [...] While the purpose of this statement is primarily to state the risk appetite and mitigation plans of the Secretariat, the linkages with the network, its members, and the Supervisory Board cannot be neglected. [...] The EI Executive Director has responsibility for the security and safety of EI staff, for the setting and implementation of strategic goals and for the management of risk associated with its activities. [...] Commitment includes compliance to regulations in the host-country of the Secretariat, both for the organisation and for individual staff members and visitors. [...] EI has a low risk appetite to the non-availability of systems and zero appetite for misuse of information.
