Our Mission
- To observe and collect data on certain persons of interest (POIs), including both staff and community members, who could potentially pose threats to Nourity's infrastructure.
- To resolve internal disputes and conflicts that could potentially lead to a harmful working environment or pose a threat to Nourity's infrastructure.
- To ensure that Nourity's interests are upheld to a certain level of security and integrity.
- To ensure that staff of all ranks are compliant with guidelines presented by Nourity's infrastructure.
- To act free of judgment and bias when drawing conclusions and conducting investigations.
What Are Person(s) of Interest?
A Person Of Interest (POI) is a term used to describe an individual who has been identified as potentially malicious or has exhibited suspicious activity in the past. When someone is included on the list of POIs, it may have implications for their career progression, such as being withheld from promotions, denied entrance to the Board of Directors, restricted from becoming an active stakeholder, and limited participation in certain programs within Nourity. These measures are implemented to safeguard the organization's interests and protect its assets.
However, it is important to note that being designated as a POI does not automatically imply guilt or wrongdoing. The inclusion of an individual on the POI list serves as a precautionary measure, allowing Nourity to maintain a heightened level of vigilance and ensure the overall security of the organization.
The decision to remove someone from the POI list rests solely with the C&I agents, who possess the expertise and knowledge required to assess the significance and ongoing risk associated with each POI. This process involves a careful evaluation of the individual's activities, their conduct over time, and any relevant changes in circumstances. Only when the person is no longer deemed to pose a threat or exhibit suspicious behavior will they be considered for removal from the list.
Nourity's commitment to maintaining the integrity of its POI system is underpinned by a dedication to fairness, transparency, and respect for individual privacy. Regular reviews and assessments ensure that the inclusion or exclusion of individuals on the POI list is carried out in a responsible and accountable manner, with the ultimate goal of preserving a safe and secure environment for all stakeholders.
