The Foundation
The stated objective of the World Heritage Centre Wadden SeaFoundation (Stichting Werelderfgoedcentrum Waddenzee) is to give a qualitative boost to the ecology and economy of the Wadden area. To this end, we are committed to promoting understanding of - and support for - the preservation of nature and natural processes and to strengthening the sustainable economy in the Lauwersoog area.

The World Heritage Centre Wadden Sea Foundation and the Sealcentre Pieterburen Foundation are under the same leadership.

Objective
Our objective is to give a sustainable qualitative boost to the ecology and economy of the Wadden Sea area. To this end, we are committed to promoting understanding of - and support for - the preservation of nature and natural processes and to strengthening the sustainable economy in the Lauwersoog area.

2 The Foundation aims to achieve its objective with the help of the following:
a. exhibitions and awareness-raising initiatives;
b. innovation and education;
c. indoor and outdoor ‘Experience’ routes;
d. promotion;
e. research;
f. a wide range of resources that can be used to support the above activities.

3. The Foundation is a non-profit organization.

4. Collective labour agreement and salary structure:
a. The salaries of the staff of the Wadden Sea World Heritage Centre Foundation are regularly benchmarked against the salaries of staff employed by other similar organizations. The remuneration policy is reviewed periodically.
b. The Dutch Fundraising Institutions Association (VFI) guidelines and the Code of Governance for Charitable Organizations (Code Wijffels) govern the remuneration policy and the setting of the director’s salary.

c. The staff of the World Heritage Centre Foundation are employed by the Sealcentre Pieterburen Foundation. Since the two organizations form a personal union, the director does not receive a salary from the World Heritage Centre Foundation.

ANBI Status
On 1 January 2017, the Dutch tax authorities granted the World Heritage Centre Wadden Sea ‘ANBI’ status, which means that it was officially recognized as a charitable organization. The advantage to people wishing to make donations is that their gifts are tax-deductible. In 2013, the Dutch government ruled that in order to acquire or keep ANBI status, charitable organizations are required by law to publish certain information on internet. This is why we have included the above information about the World Heritage Centre Wadden SeaFoundation on our website.

Complaints
We have a formal procedure for dealing with official complaints. Official complaints should be sent to info@wec-waddenzee.nl and should include the following information:

- Name, address and email address of complainant
- Description of complaint
- Date of the incident to which the complaint is related.
