Our values and ethical principles
Integrity
Integrity guides each of us in our work because it is vital to achieving the non-profit’s objectives. We do not tolerate any practices that are not based on honesty, integrity and fairness, whatever the location where our organisation works in the world. We clearly explain our stance to our employees and partners and we expect that they will also refuse to be involved in corrupt and dishonest practices.
Conflicts of interest
We make sure that we do not place ourselves and that we are not placed in conflicts of interest, i.e. in a situation in which, through ourselves or an intermediary, we have an interest that would influence the impartial and objective performance of our role, or create a legitimate impression of this type of influence. This may manifest itself in the context of public procurement contracts, staff recruitment, etc.
Personal interest encompasses any kind of advantage for ourselves or our family, relatives, friends and close associates, and organisations with which we have or have had personal relationships, notably business, political or other ties.
We must take appropriate steps to put an end to any conflicts of interest.
When we believe that we are in a situation that will imminently become a conflict of interest or that we fear could turn into one, we must immediately inform our line manager or their manager.
Gifts and other advantages
Gifts cannot under any circumstances influence or give the impression of influencing the decisions that we need to take as part of our work.
It is forbidden to request, accept or make any gifts linked to our jobs in order to ensure our impartiality. The term gift must be understood in a broad sense, and notably covers presents, pledges or any other advantages, whether for ourselves or others, and whether or not they are obtained when undertaking our role or not.
Small tokens of appreciation can be exchanged on an exceptional basis and in order to be polite, provided that the relevant line manager has authorised it.
