What to expect 

An internal Investigative Team (“the Team”) of no more than five (5) Earthworm employees and/or Board Members will be assigned to investigate your submission. Under no circumstances will this Team include any person who may be involved in your claim. Any information you provide will not be shared beyond this Team without your consent. If you provide contact information, the Team will contact you within 10 days of your submission and regularly thereafter until they adopt a final resolution. 

Anonymous submissions 

We do not require that you provide your name or any identifying information. However, we encourage you to provide contact information so we may ask follow-up questions, provide status updates, and collect your input on any potential remediation. Earthworm may be limited in our ability to investigate and provide adequate remediation for anonymous submissions without contact information. All submissions will be taken seriously regardless of the submitter's anonymity.  

Statement of non-retaliation 

Earthworm Foundation does not tolerate any form of retaliation, including but not limited to harassment, termination of employment, withholding of earned or promised benefits, and any other adverse action. Retaliation against those who raise grievances, concerns or complaints violates Earthworm’s values of honest transparency and an openness to transformation. Any Earthworm employee or representative who is found to have retaliated against someone who submitted a grievance, concern or complaint will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action.
