Our Values

  1. Environmentally Sustainable

    We want to ensure that our actions contribute to protecting the natural environment and preserving its ability to support human life.

  2. Empowering

    We value the importance of giving individuals and communities the opportunity, skills and confidence to identify, define and solve issues that concern them.

  3. Diverse

    We believe that participation of people from different backgrounds, sharing different perspectives and respecting each other's differences enrich decision-making processes.
