Board of Trustees’ meetings
From 2018 onwards, we aim to ensure our transparency by presenting our annual achievements, approved by the Board of Trustees, in a comprehensible way. These reports have a more concise content and are created in a diverse and interesting manner, going beyond the mandatory public benefit report.
Date of the last meeting of the Board of Trustees: Spring of 2023, location: the headquarters of the WWF Hungary Foundation.
Supervisory Board:
The activities of the WWF Hungary Foundation are overseen by a Supervisory Board consisting of one person who performs his/her duties without remuneration.
The member of the Supervisory Board: Jean-Paul Paddack.
The Supervisory Board evaluates the annual accounts and recommends them to the Board of Trustees. After reviewing the annual report, the Board of Trustees determines whether to adopt it. As requested by donors, we typically submit quarterly reports on the projects we sponsor, and the content of these reports is periodically reviewed by our donors.
The documents of the organization – except non-public information based on the GDPR guidelines of the Foundation, or due to other circumstances – are accessible to the public at the WWF Hungary’s office, after prior consultation and in compliance with the organization’s GDPR guidelines.

Our network protocols, guidelines, and security requirements.
At WWF, every individual, office, and program takes fundamental responsibility for respecting our values, guidelines, and security measures, and adhering to the established management and internal processes to achieve their implementation.
Each nation has its own office in charge of implementing WWF’s strategy, as well as handling fundraising and individual and institutional involvement in their area. The other offices in the network respect and value these roles. Once a worldwide strategy, position, or priority has been identified, we act and speak with one voice on behalf of nature, people, and future generations.
In addition to the abovementioned ideals, each WWF office and employee is responsible for adhering to the following guidelines and safety procedures to which we as a network are committed:
– Risk management and quality assurance
– Environment and social protection framework
– Diversity, equality and inclusion
– Gender equality
– Human rights
– Poverty and enviromental protection
– Indigenous people
– Make your voice heard – abuse report
– Child and law protection
– Discrimination- and harrasment free WWF
– Preventing and investigating fraud and corruption
This is not an exclusive list, but rather an indication of our core policies and security procedures that are required to ensure the quality of our network operations. The Network Executive Team will examine and decide on any revisions to the list, with the consent of the International Board of Directors.
Make your voice heard!
WWF is committed to fostering a culture in which people can safely report concerns about inappropriate behavior by WWF staff, partners, and people associated with WWF without fear of retaliation. As a result, we welcome the concerns of local communities or people from those areas who fear that WWF’s operations are harming them. Complaints can be made in the complainant’s native language via this global channel or to the WWF local office at aurika.farkas@wwf.hu.
