At the ICRC, we value impact, collaboration, respect, and compassion. These values guide our interactions and relationships, both among ourselves and with affected populations and our partners. We seek to integrate these values into every step of how we work, our behaviours, and our attitudes. They are the basis of our desired organisational culture. By guiding us through our decisions and dilemmas, our values ultimately support the successful delivery of our humanitarian mission.
