Code of Conduct

Our core values (poverty reduction, equal rights and sustainable development) are based on the ethical principles carried by Christian tradition. For us, this means that all human beings are unique and of equal value, regardless of faith, gender, ethnicity or other factors that could be used to divide or discriminate.

Our values have also inspired our Code of Conduct, which clarifies how we want our partners to act in relation to people participating in our programs, and also toward authorities and toward us.

Our values do not exclude, they make it clear that we want to be a voice for the weakest and most vulnerable. Our relationships with partners in Brazil and other countries are, therefore, characterized by openness, cordiality and understanding.
