Friends of the Earth staff who publicly represent Friends of the Earth (including all
campaigners) are not allowed to also represent a political party. This is to ensure that there
can be no confusion in the minds of the public about Friends of the Earth’s party-political
independence. Affected staff should also seek permission from the Senior Management Team if
they wish to hold a non-public facing official role in a political party. If this is an issue,
please do raise this with us as soon as possible.
