As of this writing, GCF is on its seventh week of flexible working arrangements as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The IIU needed to embrace new ways of working and adapt rapidly to the changing situation.
In these photos, the IIU team shares a small window into our work life at home in keeping #IntegrityAnywhere.

Even as we work from home across different timezones, the IIU remains open for business and its mandate is still being met with full operational capacity. We continue to bring #IntegrityAnywhere with our mission of advancing climate action.
