At Ethicontrol, we believe that integrity should not be a privilege reserved for large corporations. It should be accessible to every organization shaping society — especially those that educate future leaders and drive social impact.
That belief led us to launch Integrity Impact Fund — a granting initiative designed to empower NGOs, schools, and universities with enterprise-grade whistleblowing and compliance tools.
This is not philanthropy in its traditional sense. It is structured accountability with measurable impact.
The Fund offers discounts of up to 90% on the Ethicontrol Platform.
Why We Created This Initiative
Organizations in the public interest sector often face a paradox:
- High ethical expectations
- Limited financial and operational resources
- Increasing regulatory and societal pressure
Yet, these organizations are often the most critical in shaping ethical culture.
Integrity Impact addresses this gap by providing discounted access to compliance infrastructure and clear governance commitments.
The Core Principle: Support in Exchange for Accountability
Participation in the program is not unconditional.
Every beneficiary commits to implementing and maintaining a functional integrity ecosystem, aligned with international best practices such as ISO 37002 and ISO 37301.
Below is the full framework of obligations.
Integrity Impact Participation Requirements
Organizations interested in participating should be prepared not only to receive support but to demonstrate leadership in integrity.

What Makes This Different
Most CSR initiatives focus on access. Ethicontrol Integrity Impact focuses on outcomes.
1. Measurable Integrity
We move beyond policies into quantifiable performance:
- Case handling speed
- Resolution rates
- SLA adherence
2. Real Transparency
Participants commit to biannual public disclosures, creating:
- External trust
- Internal discipline
- Benchmarking opportunities
3. Built-in Enforcement
The model includes:
- Reputational accountability (public disclosure of non-compliance)
- Financial consequences (refund of granted discounts)
This ensures the initiative delivers real behavioral change, not symbolic compliance.
Who Benefits
The program is designed for organizations that shape ethical standards in society:
- Non-governmental organizations (NGOs), including professional associations
- Universities and academic institutions
- Schools and educational networks
These institutions influence thousands of individuals — making their integrity systems exponentially impactful.
Strategic Impact
By equipping these organizations with structured compliance tools, we aim to:
Over time, this creates a multiplier effect — where ethical standards extend far beyond individual organizations.
Looking Ahead - call for donors and sponsors
We plan to expand the program geographically and sectorally, while maintaining strict entry and performance requirements.
Ethicontrol has committed to allocate 25% of its profits to the Fund, ensuring a stable, long‑term financial base for the initiative and demonstrating that we are investing our own resources alongside those of our partners and supporters.
Donors, corporate sponsors, and Ethicontrol customers are warmly invited to help fund the initiative.
