International Primate Protection League will not retaliate against an employee who in good faith, has made a protest or raised a complaint against some practice of International Primate Protection League, or of another individual or entity with whom International Primate Protection League has a business relationship, on the basis of a reasonable belief that the practice is in violation of law, or a clear mandate of public policy.

International Primate Protection League will not retaliate against employees who disclose or threaten to disclose to a supervisor or a public body, any activity, policy, or practice of International Primate Protection League that the employee reasonably believes is in violation of a law, or a rule, or regulation mandated pursuant to law or is in violation of a clear mandate of public policy concerning the health, safety, welfare, or protection of the environment.
